I managed to get mine apart without breaking anything and put it back together again without any glue. I used a small jewelers screwdriver to pry up just enough to get the 1.5 inch knife blade of my Swiss army pocket knife (golfers edition w/divot repair tool and ball marker!) to gently PRY off the rest, letting the blade help keep the crack open. Try not to hurt yourself. Good audio instructions but the video quality is poor.

@cerise333 I just used a small flathead screwdriver. I worked it into the crack he showed, they gently pried it open.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I have a new Magic Mouse, and it's okay, but I LOVE the Mighty Mouse and was really bummed that I couldn't get it to zoom out anymore. Your video rocks! I think most of it was getting up the courage to crack it open...but your video made it really easy. Thank you!

or you could fallow apple's cleaning instructions... roll mouse ball on clean sheet of paper. way easier!

I'd used the apple recommended ways to clean the mighty mouse, and, well, they're idiots for having moving parts inaccessible to cleaning. Thanks for a well done vid, Saved me from throwing the mouse across the room.

TRI POD!!
