    If it has pass thru charging, yes. Otherwise, it’s just ewaste.

    Unless the mouse body is sealed like ultrasound welds, it’s openable and the battery is a replaceable commodity. Thirty seconds on temu, then 15 min w a soldering iron and mouse is back in business.

    Unless they serialized the mouse. Then you’re looking at pulling the battery, pulling whatever chip identifies it, and sweating it on to the new one. I want to say there’s no way they’d serialize a mouse battery but it is apple after all so who even knows.
