So i recently picked up a adb mouse and keyboard from ebay, and the keyboard works great, but the mouse c and y movement didint work. So i dissasembled it and it had severe curosion on the little sensors that track the movemnt. Are there any modern replacements for these? I know the mouse works as the click does click in MacOs. Thank you in advance, ill upload a picture of the little pcb in the mouse. Would be really nice if i could repair this mouse without buying another one…

Look interesting, but its quite expensive. Plus shipping to Europe, oh i forgot to mention that. Still looks pretty cool as its supposed to work on compact macs?
 
I use it on a IIgs with ADB, but it will work on anything with ADB. I don't think the person makes too many of them, thus the higher price. I have to say it does work pretty well and it isn't frustrating like the warn out roller ball.
 
I would really like to get the ball mouse working, as i have never used those. Im currently searching for 4 pin infrared receivers that could be used in ball mice.
 
You might just shop around for another ADB mouse that either works, or, that you can steal parts from.
 
Pretty hard to find ones for cheap in eastern Europe. But i will probably have to do that, as i had no luck finding any replacements for the missing sensors…
