Disassembling Mouse Buttons for Logitech Wireless Gaming Mouse G700

Difficulty

Easy

Steps

Time Required

30 minutes

Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to disassemble the G700 mouse in order to reach the top mouse buttons for cleaning.

The mouse will be broken down into three main components: The circuit board, top housing, and middle housing.

Tools

Step 1

Unplug the USB cord from the top of the mouse.

Step 2

Power off the mouse. The power switch is located on the bottom of the mouse above the battery.

Step 3

Remove the battery as illustrated in the images.

Step 4

Peel off the four sticker pads located on the bottom of the mouse. They will be on the top, bottom and sides.
Stick these pads onto a clean, flat surface for safe keeping as you continue to disassemble the mouse.

At this point it's very likely that you destroy the glides so it's probably a good idea to order some new before attempting the teardown.

Step 5

Locate and remove the five screws that were hidden under the sticker pads.

Step 6

Carefully pry off the top of the mouse. This will remove the housing from the circuit board.

Step 7

Gently detach the four wires from the holder of the housing.

Step 8

Remove the seven screws that hold the top housing, middle housing, and side keys together.
If disassembling for cleaning purposes, you need only to remove the four screws near the bottom in order to remove the top cover alone.

Step 9

Press the side keys toward the bottom of the housing.
This will detach the keys and wires from the housing.

u need to push the inside upward out of the slot before pushing the side keys in. ive break part of the slot by following this….

Step 13

Slowly remove the plastic part you just unscrewed.

Step 14

Carefully pull each button towards you.
Do not misplace the small springs attached to the buttons.

Step 15

Congratulations! You are now able to clean the mouse.
Be careful when reinstalling the screws. Due to their small size, they strip the sockets easily if overtightened.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I did open my mouse to clean but I open the wheel too. Inside are to support torqued springs that I do not know how to put them back. in this case my mouse wheel is not working properly. Can you please help me with some pictures or an advice?

The small springs are located in the front of the mouse, left and right from the switch which is used for the middle mouse button. i would take an photo if I could. I had the same problem before but found the solution.

Tengo un mouse logitech g502 de los primeros y la verdad que estaba muy contento con él, por el tema de que trae 2 botones a cada lado y me viene bien para macros. El uso sería juegos (CSGO o BF3/4) y autocad y Catia.

Yo utilizo tableta gráfica XP-Pen Star G430S para jugar al osu y hacer anotaciones, subrayar y corregir pequeñas cosas en los apuntes que tengo en formato word y PDF , pero he empezado a dibujar con ella y va genial.
