Logitech MX Vertical Feet Replacement
ID: 145493
Description: Use this guide remove and replace worn out...
Steps:
- Before you begin, flip the mouse's power switch down into the OFF position.
- Unplug all cables from the mouse.
- The mouse's unique shape prevents it from laying flat. If you need to, lay it down on a soft towel to prevent wobble.
- If you're planning to reuse your existing mouse feet, the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated for them to be cleanly removed.
- Heat an iOpener and apply it to the feet on the mouse's underside for two minutes.
- Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.
- If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the feet a few seconds at a time or you might warp the plastic shell.
- Insert one arm of a pair of angled tweezers underneath the end of one foot.
- Grip the foot and begin to peel it away from the bottom of the mouse.
- Peel slowly, making sure the foot and its adhesive are removed in one piece.
- The foot should come away from the mouse without the need for much force. If it feels stuck, apply more heat and try again.
- Use the tweezers to peel the foot away from the mouse to completely remove it.
- If you're reusing the foot, place it adhesive-side up on a clean surface.
- Repeat the process to remove the other foot.
- To install a new foot:
- If any of the feet got damaged during removal or separated from their adhesive pads, replace them.
- Use a spudger to carefully scrape up and remove any remaining adhesive bits.
- Use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to thoroughly clean all adhesive residue from the foot recesses. Allow the surface to completely dry.
- Remove the feet from their backing and firmly press them into place.
