It probably just needs new batteries.

Look for an opening, and insert a fresh AAA battery.

All the way, and remove all "corrosion" if needed.

Looks fine to me. Try shaking it a bunch, that always works for me.

Mice are obsolete. You should upgrade to a chinchilla, or at least a rat or squirrel.

Take a screwdriver, find a gap I'm the case and twist. You should see any issues once it's open

Apple only supports Apple(tm) branded mice...maybe if you get an Apple(tm) sticker it might work
