I was thinking that the mouse/kb essentially just sends signals to the
computer through the cord, and in the wireless case that is done by the
transmitter. I was assuming that I could just pop off the transmitter
and stick that at the end of the device circuit (essentially replacing
the cord) but as Skeleton Man pointed out, doing what I want would be
quite difficult if the circuit for the transmitter is built into the
circuit for the rest of the kb. Batteries--I wasn't so concerned with
that. For now, it would be more of a proof of concept, and I'd
demonstrate it with a really old unused mouse before messing around
with the mouse i regularly use.
