Logitech G PRO Wireless Opening Procedure

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

15 - 30 minutes

Introduction

Follow this guide to open a Logitech G PRO Wireless mouse.

Opening the G PRO Wireless mouse requires removing the mouse feet. If you plan to reuse the mouse feet, you’ll need to apply heat to loosen the adhesive and remove the feet with minimal bending. Bent or torn mouse feet may require replacement feet.

Note that the lower case is attached to the upper case by the battery cables and input cable. Both must be disconnected before separating the lower case from the upper case.

Step 1

Shift the power switch down to turn off your mouse (when the PRO Wireless label is oriented right-side up).
The color behind the switch should be red when the mouse is switched off.

Step 2

If you plan to reuse the mouse feet, you'll need to apply heat to loosen the adhesive and remove the feet with minimal bending.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the upper mouse foot for one minute.
A hair dryer or heat gun may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the mouse—the internal battery is susceptible to heat damage. If you use a hair dryer or heat gun, set it to the lowest temperature setting and apply heat for 10 seconds.

Step 3

Insert the flat end of a spudger under the upper mouse foot.
Each mouse foot has a gap in its recess that you can use to insert the spudger.
The mouse feet are made of two layers. Make sure you insert the spudger under the bottom layer to completely remove the foot.

Step 4

Slide the spudger under the length of the upper mouse foot to cut through the adhesive and detach it from the mouse.
Work slowly to avoid bending the mouse foot. If the adhesive becomes difficult to cut through, remove the spudger and apply more heat.

Step 5

Apply the iOpener to the lower mouse feet for one minute.
Alternatively, use a hair dryer or heat gun to apply heat for ten seconds.

Step 6

Insert the flat end of a spudger under the left lower mouse foot.

Step 7

Slide the spudger under the length of the left lower mouse foot to cut through the adhesive and detach it from the mouse.

Step 8

Repeat the procedure to remove the two remaining lower mouse feet.

Step 9

If you are going to install replacement mouse feet or apply new adhesive, use the flat edge of a spudger to remove the remaining adhesive in the mouse foot recesses.
During reassembly, follow this guide if you are using a pre-cut adhesive card to secure the mouse feet.

Step 10

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the seven 4.4 mm-long screws securing the lower case.

Step 11

Don't try to remove the lower case from the upper case yet. They are still attached by the battery cables and input cable.
Lift the bottom end of the lower case about 1 cm away from the upper case.

Step 12

The lower case has clips on its top edge attaching it to the upper case.
Pull the lower case down about 0.5 cm to detach the lower case from the upper case.

Step 13

The battery cables and input cable are connected to the bottom right of the lower case (when the PRO Wireless logo is facing you).
Swing the lower case left to right away from the upper case.

Step 14

Place the lower case on your work surface.
Lean the upper case against a sturdy object (such as a box) to prevent straining the cables.

Step 15

Use a pair of blunt tweezers to pull the battery connector straight out of its slot.
Pull up with a rocking motion to "walk" the battery connector out of its slot.
During reassembly, make sure the battery connector is oriented correctly when you insert it into its slot. The red wire should be on the side where the motherboard is marked with a plus sign (+).

DO NOT DO THIS. If the tweezers/pliers slip say goodbye to the connector and pretty much the battery.

Step 16

Use the pointed end of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the small, hinged locking flap on the input cable ZIF connector.

Step 17

Use a pair of tweezers to pull the input cable out of its ZIF connector.
The white line on this ribbon cable marks the edge of the connection area. To reinstall, insert the cable into the connector up to this line, and then close the locking flap. If the cable doesn’t insert easily up to (or very near to) this line, it’s probably misaligned and needs to be gently removed and repositioned.

Step 18

Remove the upper case from the lower case.

Conclusion

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

Hm... hope the wired version is not too different, it doesn't seem to have an entry on here...

Any help on getting the scroll wheel fixed? Looks like eventually all G Pro have an issue with scrolling both directions anytime you touch the scroll wheel, or when scrolling down, it can actually scroll up, does cleaning the wheel help with this? This doesn't show how to get the wheel out.

For anyone looking how to clean the scroll wheel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2OiLJBI...

you have to remove the battery held by the tab with the screw, unscrew 2 screws for each of the buttons and then you can access the scroll wheel daughter board.
