Introduction
After a couple of thousands clicks the Anywhere MX Mouse develops a phantom double click. This is due to a grove that develops on the inside of the button. It can be fixed with a piece of tape.

The front screws are underneath the front gliders. The can be removed with a butterknive or Plastic Opening Tool. The gliders have three layers, be careful not to seperate them.

The back screws are underneath the stickers with the battery images. You can either remove them, like I did, or just poke a hole into them to get to the screws.

After the four screws are removed, the top and the bottom part can be easily taken apart. In the top part the grove that was made by the click-sensor should be cleary visible. This causes the phantom double clicks.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
In the event the layers of these pads are separated, the outer-most and second-layer pads will likely stick together without too much fuss. Add in a small layer of rolled tape or double-stick tape between the reattached layer and the plastic mouse body to replace the thickness of the missing padded layer during reassembly. This prevents the plastic surrounding ring from damaging the working surface after the repair is complete.
