Introduction

Use this guide to open your Logitech MX Anywhere 2S mouse.

Open your mouse to clean its internals, troubleshoot mechanical problems, or replace a part.

Flip the mouse's power switch into the OFF position, unplug any cables, and flip it over so the feet are facing up.
The unique shape of some mice can prevent them from laying flat. If you need to, lay your mouse on a soft towel to prevent wobble.
If you're planning to reuse your existing mouse feet, note that the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated for them to be cleanly removed.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the mouse feet for about two minutes.
Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer to soften the mouse feet adhesive.
When using a hair dryer, don't heat the feet for more than a couple seconds at a time—anything hotter than just warm to the touch risks melting or warping the plastic lower case.

Insert an opening pick between a mouse foot and the lower case.
Go slowly, and make sure the pick slides underneath both the foot and its adhesive pad. These layers separate easily.
If you plan on reusing your mouse feet, be careful not to crease them or separate them from their adhesive pads.
Slide your pick under the foot to separate its adhesive until you can grab it with your fingers.
If the pick feels stuck, apply more heat before continuing.

For installing new mouse feet or reusing your old ones:
Use a pair of tweezers or a spudger to remove any large chunks of leftover adhesive.
Thoroughly clean the bottom of the mouse with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free of microfiber cloth. Allow the surface to dry completely.
Peel your new mouse feet away from their adhesive liners and press them firmly into place.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 5.9 mm-long screws securing the lower case to the upper shell.

Flip your mouse over and grab the upper shell.
Lift the front edge of the upper shell upwards.
Lift the upper shell straight off of the mouse.
During reassembly, lay the front edge of the upper shell into place, then press down to engage the rear clip.
