== Disassembly ==

First, i would like to say, that disassembly of this mouse is really a pain in the ass. Okey, let's get to it..

# Unscrew five cross-point screws, that are under the mouse feets.
# Carefully take the mouse apart. Watch out to not damage the electrical tape, you need to detach it from the top cover.
# Take off the red, translucent weight-slot.
# Detach the bold that's on the black part, on the back of the mouse wheel, behind the translucent part. Take off the mouse wheel.
# Unscrew two screws that are on the front of the PCB (there are little springs under them, make sure you don't damage them), and two screws that are near the black part, in which the bolt was.
# Unscrew two smaller screws that are on the bottom level PCB, one is above laser sensor, and one is at the far back of the bottom level PCB.
# You can now take off the PCB, they are soldered together, so you need to take both at once. There is a small translucent part on the front, you just need to take it off with the PCB.
# You can now detach the cable. You also can desolder the microswitches, though the PCB are soldered together, so this may be tricky, they are about 8mm apart from each other. Compromise would be, to just take apart the microswitches, without desoldering them. And replace only the springy-metal piece and top cover of microswitch. I've done it myself, and can say that it works as intended. No more double-click issue.

Assembly in the revered order, my advise for You, is that some steps for assembly are easier done with the mouse turned on it's back, for example, screwing the little screws, or putting back the small translucent part that was between PCBs.

The cable uses total of 5 wires.
