Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Heat the mouse feet
  • If you’re planning to reuse your mouse feet, you’ll need to thoroughly heat them for a clean removal.
  • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom of the mouse for two minutes.
  • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the mouse—the battery is susceptible to heat damage.
