Introduction

Opening the mouse requires removing its feet (skates/pads). If you plan to reuse the feet, you’ll need to apply heat to loosen the adhesive and avoid bending the feet. Bent or torn feet may require replacement.

What you need

Step 1

              Switch the mouse off               

• Before you begin, flip the power switch into the OFF position.

• Heat an iOpener and apply it to the mouse feet for one minute.
• You may use a hair dryer or heat gun. If you do, set it to the lowest temperature setting and apply heat for 10 seconds.

This helped so much! I had the button to turn on infinite scroll for the scroll wheel stuck and this allowed me to get it most of the way taken apart so I could take the rest apart myself.
