To produce a minimally-functional wouse prototype from the disassembled mouse

Cut away the magnetic charging pad and contacts from the plastic base.

Use heavy duty shears or a small hack saw. Sand away rough edges when finished cutting.

This is the first non-reversible instruction in this process, but will allow easy charging of the wouse with the existing usb dongle.

Solder the charging pad back to the charging wires on the wouse

Wear with safety goggles.

Rest the wouse against the support-beam of a pair of safety goggles, near the lenses. The wouse may be work somewhat effectively in this manner, with the wouse held in place by the pressure between the wearer's head and the side of the glasses.
