How to clean an Apple Mighty Mouse - Take-apart guide

Dozmen12 said.... a guitar pick works like charm to remove the bottom ring.
The real hard part was putting it back. Why the hell do they glue it?!?!?! Anyway, it works fine without the ring and will make things easier next time I have to clean it again.
But if f you're glueing it back again, make sure you won't make it too hard to remove next time...
Thanks man, great video!

They don't use screws because they're... Bad for the aesthetic? Apple makes no sense sometimes.

Yet another triumphant design marvel from Apple, the only computer manufacturer daring enough to ask "Who would ever have need for an eject button on a disc drive when you can unbend a paper clip to jab in there instead?" for over three decades.

Great video, David. It worked as a charm. Thank you so much!
Shame on Apple for producing a mechanical product that is not maintainable by the average user.

i cant get the side buttons to clip in properly!

Have watched this video several times and finally decided to give it a shot. It works like a magic. Highly recommend if you found the old "scroll-against-paper" method fails to fix your mouse.

Works like new now :o)

Had a full furr ball going on inside mine!

Mine didn't work at all either up or down. A nice rubbing with ethanol and compressed air fixed it. I didn't need to take it apart.

thanks a lot, works like a new one! great feeling ;) no need to buy a new mouse

Great.... i did this and now rolling much better,,,,

Thanks mate
