Sir, even if I thought for forty years, I would never have thought that I would put Vaseline on a mouse. It really worked. Thank you!!

[@dicklanegm7090]

T6 Torx the smallest of my set. Thank you. A very clear explanation and demonstration of what i needed, and how to dismantle and clean the mouse. It's working well now. Thanks

[@tonyschippers2902]

Greetings from Belgium. Thank you for showing this to us. Great explanation and also great video!

[@SkvaderInvader]

Thank you! My left click was double clicking when all I was doing was a single click, so I popped open the outer shell and cleaned up all the gunk and so far it's working normally again! I've had my mouse for about 3 years and use it every day a LOT so it might just be the end of its lifespan but I'm hoping the problem was just built up stuff!!

[@yk5]

I did a complete pull-apart, but it turned out I only needed to clean underneath the top cover. Thank you!

[@jklinsmann85]

Thank you for this video! initially my scroll wheel didnt recover after cleaning off the dust only.. I tried spraying some isopropyl 70% hand sanitizer at the wheel controller, n now it works just fine

[@cute-dogs]

Excellent thanks. Was wondering how you got inside the cover. My scroll wheel was jumping all over the place but thanks to you and some switch cleaner, my year old mouse is working again.

[@alial-aseel958]

Thanks man I was angry from it and it's working like a new now , I appreciate man

[@negri_prdel]

Thanks, I've repaired my mouse by this. I only needed to open it.

[@marjoriebull652]

Thanks--so much better to take 15 minutes to clean it than to spend $10 or $20 to replace it (seriously--I can't afford to shell out every time something isn't quite right!) and throw away a whole handful of plastic besides. Now that I know the top should come off, I'm more confident about pushing it--and I hadn't thought of the credit card. You've made this old lady's day brighter.

[@user-or5ct6yy4l]

Very good and clean video, thanks for sharing this. Works great. My mouse works again.

[@jorgehernandez-pv7fy]

Excelente video, lo entendi en un 80% en ingles, pero lo mejor son los subtitulos que pusiste en español, muchas gracias por ello, lo comprendi a la perfeccion y ya limpie mi mouse y esta trabajando como nuevo.

[@llTORMENTAll]

Hola, sabes qué liquido puso para limpiarlo?

[@asultan42]

thank you it really helped and solved the problem

[@luiz_pantoja]

Awesome!!! My left botton came alive again!! Thanks a lot!!!

[@fares.abuali]

Thank you so much!
This was much helpful

[@Mek7777]

Nice video for people like me who can't figure out the first step to take it apart - no screws - as in almost all today's electronics stuff. It's not meant to be fixed, just throw this one into garbage and buy a new one. Sure, the environment will thank us. Luckily we can fix this stuff and it's so simple. This mouse had issues with the left button so contact spray made it work again, and today the scroll wheel started slipping, so I sprayed the encoder, and voila, it's working seamlessly again. I have even bought spare click buttons so I can change them when they stop working completely. So until something mechanical gets broken or a cat eats it, this mouse will last forever :)

[@nuhegeli6667]

Thanks for the Clear explanations

[@monicacosta1805]

Great job! Congrats!

[@ars4455]

a guitar pick (Dunlop 50 or 60mm) is the perfect tool to open this kind of mouse 👍thanks for this video, it helped me a lot... i was about to throw my mouse away...

[@RaZor_ru]

The wheel scrolled the page badly, processed the tool as shown in the video, now it works, thanks to the author of the video for help!

[@novenaamisoetharyo7955]

Very good video with complete explanation. Thanks a lot!

[@PaulDielemans]

Thanks for your guidance. I managed to open the mouse as per video but broke the little plastic clips! However the mouse is now working and the seems to be holding together with the remaining clips. :)

[@mayoloing]

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. I'm certain my mouse will work for another year or two with this.

[@Doren090]

Excelente me sirvió de mucho tu video 👍

[@criscris6870]

Helped a lot, thanks

[@ogikate]

Great video, very helpfull, thanks a lot:)

[@alangotlieb3339]

Thanks, I couldn't work out how to open it, thought it was glued and I'd have to cut it open.
One minor thing... I'd have tried out the bare board before reassembling it in the case just to make sure the switch and the encoder were now good. May have needed more work.

[@mghvmi]

Thanks buddy , It works.

[@fungalcoffee]

thank you very much for this video, my sister broke hers and I wasn't sure how to get into it to fix it

[@mateus.vasconcelos]

Very good! My mouse wasn't turning on at all. Just opened and cleared with isopropanol alcohol and went new again, thanks.

Thanks A Million!

[@DiamondRock2]

thank you it was very useful, the first step it was I challenge to me because its was look like one piece .

[@Adenzel]

If you don't have a torx bit, sometimes a 1.4mm flat head ( actually that might be a 1mm) grips well enough to work, especially as the screws are not particularly tight.

[@ronaldchonillo]

Thank you!

[@TheRealJohnHooper]

Great video.. I think I need to do this with my mouse..

[@TheStuffMade]

Thanks!

[@eduokoth]

Great video, really helped me

[@agusdosreis]

Very good video! Quick question, what's the encoder Kailh number of this mouse? 9? Thanks!

[@d7d835f6b]

Thank you, very helpful. I suggest you guys clean while you're disassembling the mouse not just after it. My mouse was not working and now it's ok.

[@d7d835f6b]

So, where did you buy your toolkit? Can I purchase one of this online? :D

[@TheStuffMade]

@@d7d835f6b I bought it online, probably ebay, try search for mini screwdriver set, it only cost around $6-7 and it's very useful to have around.

[@daneedwards8903]

All I want to know is, can it drag click? I would test it, but its batteries are flat and (because of stupid lockdown) I can't replace them....

[@boonlianglim5820]

Thank you for this very helpful video! May I know what was it that you sprayed to clean the parts? Cheers!

[@TheStuffMade]

It's a contact cleaner, mostly just isopropyl alcohol.
Cheers,
Jake

[@MillyKKitty]

My mouse wheel wasnvt workinh after accidentally dropping it on the floor. Apparently the force that opened the lips travelled through the mouse, breaking the small connection between the mouse wheel and the part that goes into the red circle.

[@charlyc.931]

que aerosol le coloca ?

[@CanaldaCarol23]

Thanks for the clue, but, if you blowing the "scroll", maybe resolve your problem.
Sorry for my english... 😅

[@sauldia]

Buen video, una pregunta, la rueda del mouse, el eje que ingresa al soporte se rompio, que me recomiendas para reparalo.

[@TheStuffMade]

Thanks, you might be able to use super glue to put it back together, but I doubt it will hold without drilling a small hole and inserting a pin, but you'll need to use something like a 0.5mm drill bit.
Cheers,
Jake

[@jorgehernandez-pv7fy]

Yo lo repararia con una broquita de las que usan los joyeros y al grueso del pernito y pondria algun pedacito de tubito plastico o aguja estambrera o un pedazo de clavo del grosor de la perforacion y listo, con eso lo reparas, todo depende de tu ingenio y de los materiales que tengas a la mano.

[@Lawrence-br1ug]

Thanks so much for this video, what can i use in place of a contact cleaner?

[@TheStuffMade]

Ideally you want to use a contact cleaner as it will both clean and dissolve corrosion, but you can use rubbing alcohol from your local supermarket, like isopropyl or ethanol alcohol, just keep in mind it might not work as well as a real contact cleaner.
Cheers,
Jake

[@Lawrence-br1ug]

@@TheStuffMade Thanks so much. I couldn't find a contact cleaner in my local supermarket so I made use of Isopropyl and it did the work.
I have not less than 5 "damaged" mouse just sitting around. I was about to purchase a new one before I bumbed on your video. I will likely not be buying a new mouse anytime soon.

[@mohamad.khateb]

I have a problem with slowness. When I pull up it slows down and then goes fast

[@VishwaNathGummaRaju]

RC, you do have a sure touch; the small screws fitted so deftly! The mouse was working beautifully till i left it for some time with the cell in it. Though alkaline cell, it leaked and now the mouse does not work. I tried cleaning with spirit the way you demo`d. Still, no go. can you offer guidance. Thank you n rgrds VishG p.s. i am subscribed to you

[@TheStuffMade]

IMO the best way to clean corrosion from leaking batteries is to use a fiberglass pen and gently rub the metal contact surfaces until the corrosion is gone, then it should work again.
Cheers,
Jake

[@triinhnguyenhuu8040]

hey sir, What is the name of the tool you used to open the screws in the video?

[@TheStuffMade]

It's just a screwdriver set. Search for "mini screwdriver set" on ebay, aliexpress, amazon etc and you will find it. It's not expensive.
Cheers,
Jake

[@diegosarango2243]

WHA spray is?

[@ahmedabdellatif781]

What spray you used?

[@TheStuffMade]

It's a contact cleaner from the WD40 company, it's the type that just cleans without leaving any oil behind. You can see it around 11:08 in the video.
Cheers,
Jake

[@michaelreeves1147]

You could probably use 99% isopropanol in a spray bottle with equal effect.

[@peterskyw]

thank you, great video, dont need new mouse...jajajajjaja

[@user-hm2lf4oh2m]

What kind of liquid have you used ?

[@TheStuffMade]

Hi, I'm using WD40 contact cleaner. Make sure it's the contact cleaner, not the lubricant.
Cheers,
Jake

[@mimipopescu]

Mine has no scew holes

[@TheStuffMade]

You have to remove the top cover to get to the screws.
