This is a Logitech Optical Mouse. Let's open it up to see what is inside and what can I recycle from it.
There you see a circuit board, a USB cable connected to the circuit board, a roller and the shell of the mouse.
Let's take a closer look at the circuit board. On the top part of the circuit board, there is 3 black colour components, those are the mouse clicking buttons of the mouse.
This mouse was abandoned because of its left click button is spoilt, so probably is the top left black colour component on the circuit board.
The USB cable can be disconnected from the board for recycle.
~~~ After 30 minutes of desoldering and cutting ~~~
Ok, these are those that i think is of not much usage. The IC chips, phototransister, infra-red emitter, capacitors and the board (components named here might be wrong).
This is the spoilt left click button. There is no more "click" sound or feel when it is pressed.
These are the component that I reserved for later used.
2 x button switches, 1 x 5pin connection seat, 2 x resistors, a LED attatched to a acrylic plastic and a USB connection cable.
These are the components that was thrown away.
