    • Slide your mouse's power switch to the left so it's in the OFF position.

    • A red indicator should be visible beneath the switch.

    • Throughout your repair, it may be helpful to lay your mouse on a soft cloth to stabilize it and prevent damage while you work.

    • The feet are secured to the bottom of the mouse with adhesive. In order to cleanly remove them, the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the mouse feet for one minute to heat the adhesive.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.

    • If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the feet a few seconds at a time or you may warp the plastic shell.

    • The feet have two layers—a rubberized one and an adhesive pad underneath.

    • If you're reusing the feet, be very careful not to separate the two layers or damage the feet.

    • Carefully slide the point of a spudger under one of the feet, making sure it goes under both the foot and its adhesive pad.

    • If you're just removing the feet to open the mouse, you don't need to remove the circular one below the power switch.

    • Gently slide the spudger farther under the foot and lift to remove it.

    • If the rubber layer separates from its adhesive pad, use the same process to remove the pad.

    • To install a new foot:

    • If any of the feet got damaged during removal or separated from their adhesive pads, replace them.

    • Use a spudger to carefully scrape up and remove any remaining adhesive bits.

    • If there's any adhesive residue left, use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to remove it. Allow the surface to completely dry.

    • Remove the feet from their backing and firmly press them into place.
