My goal is to have a good Amiga Mouse working on every surface and without needing of a mousepad.
The only solution is to make it optical.
After some research I found a mini optical Notebook USB Mouse and tried to rip of the original amiga mouse:
(The black box is a complete PC USB Mouse)

I removed the optical stuff to make room for the optical mouse:

Now its time to open the tiny PC mouse:

pcb only :

For testing I am using some tape to hold the lens in right position. The final version will hold via clue:

The USB Cable Connector is to big. Instead I found some better solder points for direct connect of a cable:

for fitting into original Amiga Mouse you need only to remove this pcb peace:

brown and red wire to the buttons and a ground wire and some screws to make it hold:

I changed the USB cable to make it look more authentical
