Be careful when you are pulling the top off because the 2 buttons are attached with wires to the top.

There is a small screw on the top to remove to get the LED thing off and be able to pull the chip out. There are just 2 little clips that push back easy to get the chip free. After this you can go to the mouse main board and pull out the 6 pin white connector and it will release the top fully.

With a little bit of prying you can pop out the battery compartment. I am not going to use it because it will not fit but the connector will save me some time on soldering. I am going to save that however for future projects.
