- Maybe there is a difference in production runs, but I have taken apart
- both Microsoft and Logitech mice, and put them back together.
- On the Logitech, the screws were visible, but on the Microsoft mouse,
- the screw(s) are hidden under the sticker on the bottom. All you have to
- do is rub your finger over the sticker till you feel a small depression.
- When you find the depression, just take a small pocket knife and slice
- the sticker open. That should expose the screw head(s). If I remember
- right, once the screws are out, the units are easy to pop open with a
- slight bit of pressure.
-
- Hope this helps! (And be careful!)
