Step 3

              Button Plate
  • Use your fingernail to carefully remove the two skid stickers from the fat (non-button) end of the bottom of the mouse to reveal two Philips head screws. Remove these, then unclip the bottom cover. Don’t get the sticky dusty. Now remove buttons; they’re both attached by one 0.5mm Phillips head screw. It is located in the center of the top cover.

glad I was able to find this info on disassembly. Gave it a good cleaning and works better than it did before. Had the Phillips screwdriver. and used another small screwdriver and a small pocket knife to pry with. Be gentle - doesn’t look like it would take much force to break those plastic bits.

Very useful. Cleaned coffee out of mouse wheel spokes/windows and off of chipboard. Works better than before. Thanks!

Probably the BROWN stuff wasn’t coffee, I too cleaned the spokes/windows. the brown stuff is oil from out hands which lands on scroll wheel, then by heat gets transferred to the spokes. touch a finger on the mirror, the fingerprint on the mirror is because of OIL on hands. it is the same oil in that mouse wheel spokes.

There is a spring here connected to the wheel. Seems to be the thing to give tactical feedback when scrolling. It fell out when I took out the wheel not 100% how to put it back
