Step 2

              Heat the mouse foot

If you’re planning to reuse your existing mouse feet, note that the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated to cleanly remove them.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom mouse foot for two minutes.
A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the mouse—the internal battery is susceptible to heat damage.

Step 3

              Separate the mouse foot adhesive

Slide an opening pick under an edge of the bottom mouse foot.
Go slowly, and make sure the pick is underneath both the foot and its adhesive layer if you want to reuse the foot. It’s easy to separate the foot from its adhesive.
If the foot feels stuck, apply more heat before continuing.
Slide the pick under the rest of the foot until you can lift it off the mouse.
Remove the foot.

Step 4

              Clean off the old adhesive

If the adhesive separated from the foot:
Slide the flat end of a spudger under an edge of the adhesive. If the adhesive seems stuck, you may need to heat the adhesive further.
Peel the adhesive off.
Before installing new feet or reinstalling old ones, wipe away any adhesive residue from the mouse with a lint-free cloth and high-concentration isopropyl alcohol.

Step 6

              Heat the Logitech sticker

The Logitech sticker at the bottom of the mouse is very heat sensitive and crumbles easily. In case you want to keep that sticker intact apply as little heat as possible and remove the sticker carefully.
If you don’t want to remove the sticker all the way, you can puncture it with a screwdriver where the two screws are located beneath it. Use this picture to make sure you’re hitting the right spots.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the Logitech sticker to loosen its adhesive.
