I figure this counts as the appropriate place to post this.
What is the best/is there any way to take apart a circuit board and use wires instead? I was thinking of taking mouse parts and attaching them to a glove, but there's the darned circuit board...

A circuit board is simply a means of containing all the components in a small area. Yes you can manually unsolder each component from the circuit board and use wires. The wires must be connected to the components the same way it the components were connected when using the PCB. Also the wires musn't be to small that the electricity is bottleknecked or something (sorry my electronics skills are dead). However I don't recommend this. _________________

This. Using wires will cause heat, and if you are putting them in a glove i really don't think that is a good idea. Even if you contain them all you will need to find the right wire with the right resistance.
Although you could probably find a guide online to do all of this reasonably safely.
