Introduction
If there is any incorrect information please let me know or if you feel like you want to add to this guide then by all means feel free to do so!
If anything is broken with your mouse then I would recommend getting a new one as the parts are hard to acquire.
If you have decent soldering skills and know how to get the parts you need then feel free to make a guide!
The left and right mouse buttons are Omron switches.
I'm not sure what switch the middle mouse button uses. It looks like a generic surface mounted micro push button switch.
CAUTION!!!
BE CAREFUL.
Be PATIENT and WORK SLOWLY as you disassemble.
There are delicate parts inside the mouse.
There are ribbon cables which tear very easily.
I am not responsible for damage to your device as a result of this guide.

Let's begin!
-
First, flip it over.
-
Find two Torx screws. Use a T6 Torx driver to unscrew these. I used a small flat head screw driver to unscrew these because I did not have a T6 Torx driver.

-
Push down where I am pointing out here. It should come apart fairly easily.
-
To open it bare handed, hold M65 with USB cord running straight downwards and force top surface of M65 upwards with your palm then pull M65's rear edge upwardly with your "hooked" fingers of the same hand.

-
BE GENTLE!
-
Wiggle the front of the mouse and gently pull the top half towards the back.
-
YAY! You got them apart!

There are two screws that hold the PCB in place. One is longer than the other. The SHORT one goes to where I am pointing. The long screw holds down a grounding wire. Move the wire out of the way as you take out the board.
-
There is a ribbon cable that I am pointing at which you can pull out. There are some multi-colored wires that are plugged into the board. Wiggle it out. Move it to the side when you take the board out.
-
Now lift the PCB out along with the scroll wheel. There should be some more screws which hold the metal to the plastic. Undo those if you want to.
-
The sides come apart. You must take the mainboard out in order to take the sides off. There are two latches for the left side and four on the right side. The left side also has two screws securing it to the rest of the body.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Dude, thank you so much for posting this. I broke the scroll wheel and I used this to disassemble the body to get it. If you could post a guid in how to actually fix the scroll wheel for anyone else that would be awesome.
Has anyone tried to disable the scroll wheel clicking? If so, did it work? I need to do this.

Great guide! I only had a little bit of trouble reassembling it. The top part is hard to "click back" into the rest of the body. I finally did it, but couldn't notice what made them snap together.
I'd note something else too: I detached the TOP of the ribbon cable and it was a pain to attach it back, as you have to hold the 'lid' too and holding everything is awkward. What made it easier was to remove the PCB fixed by 2 screws in the 'lid', then attach the ribbon cable and then screw the PCB back into place.
Cheers!
P.S.: Xe Roy, you might have to unscrew the body PCB to lift it from the rest of the body. Else the scroll wheel is stuck and impossible to remove.
It's at the front, in-front of the left and right clicks, 1 latch in-front of each mouse buttons, like the ones on the side panels. Sliding the top part forward in place and then snapping on the back kinda helped.
Yeah you’re totally right. It was quite easy to take off but much harder to put on. I think I found the latch, so i tried to take some pictures, but I would say it’s not so much about putting the mouse forward but starting at a high enough angle so the hole on the top clicks with the hole on the on the mouse.
So you have to get the latch in the hole at the top of the mouse first then once thats in the rest should click into place. But yeah, you can’t get it back on if you start at the back.

T7 torx fits better
