• Shortening a mouse cable

    I recently bought a cheap Logitech mouse for my EEE Pc. But the mouse came with a very long cable i didn’t really need. So I tried my luck shortening the cable. It’s pretty easy. Just open the mouse. unplug the usb-cable from the pcb and cut the cable. Strip the wires. Stripping the wires without a wire striping tool can be really hard, because the cables are really thin. Next I simply twisted the wires and put a bit of solder on there. Put on some electrical tape, so there is no chance the wires can touch. Put it all back together and tada!
