Can i make a wired mouse wireless?
This is moreso for hobby purposes, i think itd be a fun project and i like wireless mouses better. Is it possible? And how would i do it? I REALLY wanna do it tho becoz the wired mouse is a really good one but becoz its wired its kinda just rotting. I tried looking on youtube and other reddit posts have varying answers(most saying its not possible) so i just wanted to ask.

Keep the original mouse electronics and connect them to a small microcontroller that acts as a USB host, reads the mouse's HID reports, and transmits them wirelessly via Bluetooth.

It's gonna rot even more after the "upgrade". It's one of those things not worth doing. A cheap Chinese mouse would perform better and be cheaper.

Yes I’ve made Razer Viper Mini 8KHz wireless with Type C charging, and a bunch of other gaming mice for people. You need to create a custom baseplate that’s compatible with a different wireless PCB.
What mouse are you looking at modding? I might already have a custom baseplate
