Introduction[edit | edit source]
How to open[edit | edit source]
Put the RollerMouse upside-down into its box. If you don't have the original box, just make sure it's on a soft surface, such that nothing gets scratched and the RollerMouse does not roll away (hence its name!).
Undo all screws you can see. There are 2 screws a bit shorter and one longer than the others. The long one (makred red) goes into the center hole and the 2 short ones (marked green) into the holes left and right to it (see picture).
There are 2 additional screws hidden under one of the rubber pads:
Now, you can gently pop open the clips at the top side (i.e. where the rollerbar is).
The 2 hidden screws need not to be mounted in again, as they are totally useless and make it more difficult to open the RollerMouse the next time.

RollerMouse Free[edit | edit source]
The predecessor is similar, but has not such a pleasant scroll wheel, which does not roll smooth.
How to open[edit | edit source]
Trun around and undo all scrwes. There are 3 extra screws under 3 different rubber pads which can be easily removed by lifting them up with a fingernail.
There are also some clips to open, but that should be an easy task.
