Introduction

With sufficient heat, it’s possible to cleanly remove the feet, but you may need replacements if one rips or any adhesive is left behind.

What you need

Step 1

              Turn off the mouse

Before you begin, flip the mouse’s power switch into the red OFF position.

Step 2

              Heat the mouse foot

If you’re planning to reuse your existing mouse feet, note that the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated to cleanly remove them.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom mouse foot for two minutes.
A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the mouse—the internal battery is susceptible to heat damage.

Step 3

              Separate the mouse foot adhesive

Slide an opening pick under an edge of the bottom mouse foot.
Go slowly, and make sure the pick is underneath both the foot and its adhesive layer if you want to reuse the foot. It’s easy to separate the foot from its adhesive.
If the foot feels stuck, apply more heat before continuing.
Slide the pick under the rest of the foot until you can lift it off the mouse.
Remove the foot.
Repeat the procedure to remove the top mouse foot.

Step 4

              Clean off the old adhesive

If the adhesive separated from the foot:
Slide the flat end of a spudger under an edge of the adhesive. If the adhesive seems stuck, you may need to heat the adhesive further.
Peel the adhesive off.
Before installing new feet or reinstalling old ones, wipe away any adhesive residue from the mouse with a lint-free cloth and high-concentration isopropyl alcohol.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
