    • Before starting your repair, unplug the mouse.

    • 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 the large foot near the front of the mouse, making sure it goes under both the foot and its adhesive pad.

    • The foot recesses have a small notch that makes it easier to slide your spudger under.

    • Gently slide the spudger farther under the foot and lift until you can grip the pad with your fingers.

    • Peel up and remove the foot.

    • 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.

    • Use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to thoroughly clean all adhesive residue from the foot recesses. Allow the surface to completely dry.

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