Step 2

              Heat the mouse feet

If you’re planning to reuse the feet note that the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated for them to be cleanly removed.
Use an iOpener or hair dryer to heat the adhesive underneath the feet.
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 4

              Remove the feet

Repeat the following procedure on all four feet:
Push the tip of an opening pick under the mouse foot adhesive where the gap in the rim is.
Go slowly, and make sure the pick is underneath both the foot and its adhesive layer. It’s easy to separate the foot from its adhesive.
Twist the opening pick to separate the foot from the bottom until you can grab it.
Remove the foot.
To reuse the feet softly tack them on a clean surface such as a magnetic mat or a sorting tray.
