Introduction

Replacing the motherboard of the Corsair M55 RGB Pro Gaming Mouse (Model: RGP0086) is a straightforward process if you find your mouse malfunctioning. No specialized skills are required for this task, and there are no hazards involved as the mouse should be unplugged during the repair process. If software updates fail to resolve any issues with your mouse, it's possible that the motherboard is malfunctioning.

The mouse consists of two main components: the top portion and the bottom portion. The top half houses the PCB (printed circuit board), which controls the secondary buttons on the mouse. The bottom half contains the motherboard, which includes components such as the mouse wheel, USB port, and the main buttons for the mouse.

When replacing your motherboard, handle the new board by the edges only and, if possible, use ESD-safe gloves to avoid damaging it.

Tools

Step 1

Use a spudger to gently peel off and remove the three mouse feet on the bottom of the mouse.
If you are not replacing the mouse feet with a new set, put them aside to replace them at the end of the repair.

Step 2

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the four 10 mm screws from the bottom of the mouse.
There is a cable connecting the bottom and top of the mouse.

Step 3

Use a spudger to separate the top and bottom of the mouse.
Don't pull them apart as they are connected by a cable connector and could become damaged.
Pull the PCB cable away from the connector in the same direction as the individual wires are running.
Pull evenly on the full width of the cable so that no individual wires are overly strained.

Step 4

Pull the USB pin cable away from the connector in the same direction as the individual wires are running.
Pull evenly on the full width of the cable so that no individual wires are overly strained.
