    • Removing the battery ensures that when you get into the curcuit board of the mouse, you will not be shocked by any energy coming from the batteries.

    • To remove the battery, turn the mouse over onto its back and press the square button bellow the battery icon.

    • Pressing this button should release the cover on the top of the mouse, allowing you to remove the battery.

    • Lift up the back side of the mouse, then gently slide the front towards the back.

    • You can only lift a small amount because there are wires connecting the base and top.

    • If you try to lift the front as well, then the plastic will snap. There are tabs holding the top in place, which can only be opened through sliding.

    • After sliding, then the mouse will open as shown.

    • There will still be wires connecting the two pieces.

Logitech M180 opens the same way.

I don’t quite understand the point of this. The mice fail occasionally but are inexpensive (~$15). It would be nice to be able to repair them but merely disassembling them doesn’t serve any purpose as far as I can see.
