So I bought this keyboard/mouse combo from geeks.com about a year ago.  it was about $25.  But the range on the unit was about a foot to short to use from the couch.  It would jump and skip.  So I decided to break... fix it.

As you can tell by the pictures i already started taking things apart and broke the surface mount sync button off. The housing was glued closed so breaking was inevitable.  Luckily it still works and so we continue on.

Hi,
I don't see where you soldered the wire loop.
Did you just solder onto two points of the squiggle wire coming out of the device? Did you cut the squiggle trace in between the two solder points?
