Logitech MX Master 3 for Mac Mouse Feet Replacement

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Moderate

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

10 - 20 Minuten

Einleitung

Use this guide to remove and replace the feet (also called skates or pads) on the bottom of a Logitech MX Master 3 for Mac.

While it’s possible to cleanly remove the feet, you may need replacements if one rips or separates from its adhesive pad.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

If you’re planning to reuse your existing mouse feet, note that the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated to cleanly remove them.
Power off your mouse and flip it over.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the left mouse foot for two minutes.
A hair dryer may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the mouse—the plastic body may warp or melt.

Schritt 2

Slide an opening pick under an edge of the left mouse foot.
Go slowly, and make sure the pick is underneath both the foot and its adhesive layer if you want to reuse the foot. It's easy to separate the foot from its adhesive.
If the foot feels stuck, apply more heat before continuing.
Slide the pick under the rest of the foot until you can lift it off the mouse.
Remove the foot.

Schritt 3

If the adhesive separated from the foot:
Slide the flat end of a spudger under an edge of the adhesive. If the adhesive seems stuck, you may need to heat the adhesive further.
Peel the adhesive off.
Before installing new feet or reinstalling old ones, wipe away any adhesive residue from the mouse with a lint-free cloth and high-concentration isopropyl alcohol.

Schritt 4

Repeat the previous three steps to remove the three remaining mouse feet.

Abschluss

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
