At the back of the mouse the crystal ball’s light not on

My Apple wireless mouse doesn’t seem to charging
An Apple Magic mouse has no active laser or other light source that is visible when holding the mouse in your hand. If it becomes erratic, that may be due to low battery charge, or a piece of lint on the optic. I have found in the latter case it can be fixed by a quick puff of air on it.
If it is an Apple Magic Mouse I with battery, I went through three of these in three years — an the Magic Mouse II has been in use ever since.
The original Magic Mouse took batteries. The one that came after had rechargeable batteries and a charging port located on the underside of the mouse.
When I saw "At the back of the mouse the crystal ball’s light not on", I thought immediately of my mouse, which is one of the original Magic Mice, and has a little green power light (not the laser) that goes out whenever the cover to the battery compartment is not perfectly closed.
It might be rime to make an appointment at the nearest Apple Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider for a free diagnostic check. If you do make sure you have a current and complete backup of your boot drive before taking it in.
I assume it's a Magic Mouse, i.e. wireless, right?
If it is it doesn't have a light on the bottom of the mouse. Only an optical sensor for movement, an off/on slide switch and a cable port for charging.
Is it turned on?
Does it work? If it does ignore the fact that the light doesn't go on.

How do you know that it is still charged, if it does not have a connection to the Mac? Normally it is the Mac that displays the charge level.
If that mouse is charged, but it is not paired with the right Mac, I believe the way that you would pair it with a new Mac is by connecting it to the new Mac with the charging cable.

Even in a totally black space there's no indication of a laser light. Must be in a non-visible wavelength.
I have one of the old Magic Mice that takes AA batteries. The latch mechanism that is supposed to keep the little metal cover shut does not work consistently any more, and whenever the cover comes slightly loose, the mouse loses connection. It does this even though the batteries are still securely in place. I assume that there's a micro-switch in there designed to shut the mouse off whenever the cover is open.
What I've been doing is to use small pieces of Scotch tape to keep the cover shut.
As you said, I plugged it into another charger and charged it overnight. Then I connected it directly to my Mac and charged it overnight. It's really weird that it doesn't charge even this way. I only have a Mac computer.
Who makes the mouse?
Make sure it's turned on. Switch on the bottom.
How can I fix my Apple Magic Mouse?
