Hello.
I accidentally broke the antenna inside my wireless mouse -- at least I'm pretty sure it's an antenna. It's about 0.5mm diameter and runs ~115mm around the perimeter of the top of the PCB, then is soldered through on both ends.
About 1-2mm broke off, and I thought I'd fix it by soldering what was left of the antenna through the original hole, but now after doing that I need to have my mouse really close to the USB key that it talks to, or it will communication, so my question is... does anyone know if taking 2mm off the internal antenna of a wireless mouse could greatly effect it's frequency, and maybe cause it to lose connection?
