Introduction

Step 2
Heat the mouse feet
- If you’re planning to reuse the feet note that the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated for them to be cleanly removed.
- Use an iOpener or hair dryer to heat the adhesive underneath the feet.
- 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 4
Remove the feet
- Repeat the following procedure on all four feet:
- Push the tip of an opening pick under the mouse foot adhesive where the gap in the rim is.
- Go slowly, and make sure the pick is underneath both the foot and its adhesive layer. It’s easy to separate the foot from its adhesive.
- Twist the opening pick to separate the foot from the bottom until you can grab it.
- Remove the foot.
- To reuse the feet softly tack them on a clean surface such as a magnetic mat or a sorting tray.
