  4. Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse Disassembly, Remove the top cover: step 3, image 1 of 1

    • There is no need to remove its rubber feet since it is held together by only one screw.

    • Wiggle the grey part of the top to remove it by pulling it towards you(away from the scroll wheel).

    • Do not pull the grey cover towards the top and do not pull the part near the keys.

    • Reasoning by Jacob Hickey "because in the internal top part of the mouse where the buttons/scroll wheel is, there’s hinges-like “tooth” that’ll snap if you do pull on it. It’s like opening a jewelry box that has a hinge on one end of the box… if that makes sense…"

    • The image is what your mouse should look like in the end.
