Life hack make your mouse wireless in 5 seconds

Logitech hates this trick!

Oh no. You just unlocked a memory of me doing this to a newly purchased headset 20 years ago... How could you

They also sell scissors in these entraptions. Check mate.

Edit: wireless mice are a good thing. And: Nothing that a wago can't fix. OK some solder and shrink tube in this case.:)

Yup, had the same thing happen to me with wired earphones back in the day.

I got a new mouse for work the other day and was surprised at the packaging. It was super compact and 100% paper. It looked really nice, was super easy to open, did a good job of holding everything and protecting it from impacts. There were no plastic bags inside, the mouse itself was in a velvet like pouch, which was somehow completely made from paper. All of the other stuff was either in little boxes or an envelope.

It made me happy because the whole thing was pretty much perfect and did it's job as best it could. The thing being so compact made sure it could be shipped in large quantities without taking up any room. It also made me kind of sad of how wasteful those huge plastic boxes were in the past. Turns out with a little bit of effort, we could have done so much better all this time.

Curious about that velvet-like paper.

Logitech believe it or not. Just their plain old M500s, nothing special

Sounds about right.
