Quick simulation to see if theory for the charge indication works
Voltage levels seems to be ok
PCB for the chraging circuit
3D view helps with the PCB design (for clearances)
Voltage drop over diode 1N4001 connected to base-emitter on BC549 lights the LED when docking mouse completes the circuit.
mock-up before making the PCB
Proof of concept for the voltage drop sensing BC549
PCB completed
the circuit fits snuggly inside the compartment
