How can I fix my Apple Magic Mouse?
At the back of the mouse the crystal ball’s light not on

Who makes the mouse?
Question marked as
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.

its Apple ‘s. It’s totally like a set. Mac, keyboard and mouse together
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.

Even in a totally black space there's no indication of a laser light. Must be in a non-visible wavelength.
Mine it IS wireless, it IS charged already. Still not working. It cause my Mac not working. I tried to use another different brand different wireless mouse . Not workin either . What can I do🥹
I charged it ,I did try , still not working,
Make sure it's turned on. Switch on the bottom.
an off/on slide switch and a cable port for charging,wireless, Apple brand . Yes . The slide switch is on (can see the green side)also is not battery problem, I charged it.
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.
it IS . The slide switch is on. Can see the green side.but the next sensor of movement still no light up

Since the OP is charging the mouse it's safe to assume it doesn't take batteries.
FWIW, you might need a wired mouse to pair the Apple Mouse to your Mac. Any cheap USB mouse would do.
this Apple wireless mouse can take battery too ? I don’t know how .
If it takes batteries it's not an Apple Mouse 2 and would have no charging port.
