How to clean your Apple Mighty Mouse

Step 2Remove the outer ring

Remove the outer ring
This is optional. I've seen some people opening the mouse without removing this outer ring, but then the cord will prevent you from separating the two halves and it will be a bit hard to work. So I prefer taking more time on this to make the process easier later.

- With the craft knife, start to unglue the ring from the side buttons. It's glued to the body at different points, so every once in a while you'll hear a snap of the glue coming loose.
- Carefully work your way around the base until the whole thing is free. It will seem very hard around the bottom part especially, but eventually it will come loose.

Be extra careful and take your time. The ring is fragile and flexible, so try not to bend it while doing this, or you'll end up with something like this.
