I see the connector pinout everywhere but can't seem to find an ADB mouse wiring diagram. For any ADB mouse

What do you mean more precisely? The schematic? I think an ADB mouse is a (relatively) smart device with a microcontroller og sorts inside.

Greetings,
Apologies for the bump but I'd also need some help with this. I'm replacing the ADB connector on a wedge mouse because the metal surrounding of the port has been dented. I purchased a replacement ADB connector head and chopped off the dented one.
According to this site we have four pins on the ADB connector: https://old.pinouts.ru/Slots/apple_adb_pinout.shtml
Inside the ADB wedge mouse cable I see four wires: Ground, Black, Blue, Red. Which colours correspond to which pin numbers? I've searched the interwebs but in vain.
Any help or links will be appreciated, thanks. | Posted by: joevt on 2023-01-02 23:23:48

Do you have a second wedge mouse you can check?
I have one that says Family Number G5431 E89826T LR66731 | Posted by: compact-mac on 2023-01-05 12:49:03
I still have the damaged head but I cut it short. I can still see some of the colouring, so I might be able to find the pin numbers using a multimeter. (In hindsight I wish I had this plan before I chopped it).
I'll update the thread with my findings when I get around to it.
I don't have another wedge mouse, alas. But mine has the same family number of G5431. | Posted by: joevt on 2023-01-05 16:54:50
Let me know if you need me to take mine apart. | | 1 |
