Very easy

Steps

Time Required

5 minutes

Introduction

The first step of disassembling the Engage Wired Optical Mouse is to remove the outer shell and main top component of the mouse without damaging any parts.

Note that the circuit board has capacitors. Though they aren't very dangerous, you may wish to discharge them before handling the circuit board. A tool to accomplish this can be found here.
