    • Use a black nylon spudger to pry off the shell.

    • Work your way along the seam to release the tabs connecting the top and bottom of the mouse.

    • Do not use a metal spudger for prying, as it may damage internal components, such as the main circuit board, that are not visible.

    • Gently squeeze the sides of the mouse while using the spudger to pry the top case away from the bottom. The pressure will cause the mouse to open.
