Instead of pulling the batteries just move one of them enough to put
a piece of paper or plastic between it and the contact. Leave enough
out to get a hold on it for removal. If you get lucky it might be
possible to pull the insulator without removing the battery door.
Mouse makes a good battery carrier that way too. YMMV
I see we've got some clever dicks here! ;-)
But if you are going to go to all this bother to save a penny, why not have
a mouse with a proper tail in the first place?
As far as my personal experience has been, the tail never gets in the way
anyway. And you are far less likely to mis-lay the mouse, forget it or lose
it.
Why is the world so obsessed with doing everything wirelessly?
But then what does one expect of a world obsessively practising "safe sex"
at the expense of losing half the the joy of sex? ;-)
