Step 1

              Unscrewing the screws
  • Unscrew 5 screws, which are partially hidden. Three screws are located under the rubber buffers and one in the battery compartment under the sticker (which should then be loosened beforehand).
  • You can simply push the blue trackball out of its holder. You should also do this occasionally and clean the opening.
