  4. The mouse's unique shape prevents it from laying flat. If you need to, lay it down on a soft towel to prevent wobble.

  6. If you're planning to reuse your existing mouse feet, the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated for them to be cleanly removed.
  7. Heat an iOpener and apply it to the feet on the mouse's underside for two minutes.
  8. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.
  9. If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the feet a few seconds at a time or you might warp the plastic shell.

  11. Insert one arm of a pair of angled tweezers underneath the end of one foot.
  12. Grip the foot and begin to peel it away from the bottom of the mouse.
  13. Peel slowly, making sure the foot and its adhesive are removed in one piece.
  14. The foot should come away from the mouse without the need for much force. If it feels stuck, apply more heat and try again.
