We disassemble the mouse to get to the connector cable for replacement with a brand new cable.
Was du brauchst
-
-
It's very common for this cord to fray with continued use. Let's open up this mouse and replace the cord!
-
-
-
Pry off the three feet to reveal screws.
-
-
-
Locate the hidden screw hole behind the Logitech sticker.
-
Puncture the sticker to access the screw.
-
Remove all five Phillips screws.
-
-
-
With all screws removed, carefully pry the top of the mouse away from the body.
-
-
-
-
Using a spudger, lift the ZIF cable guard.
-
Remove the cable from the upper housing. The upper housing can now be set aside.
-
-
-
Remove the three Phillips screws to free the weight cartridge holder.
-
Lift the weight cartridge holder from the body.
-
-
-
Pry the pin securing the mouse wheel and housing to the left.
-
Remove the mouse wheel and housing.
The springs go in the very front, on top of the transparent piece. It was hard for me to figure out the latest time around :)
-
-
-
Remove the two parallel screws holding a black piece of plastic to the mouse body.
-
-
-
Remove two screws securing the bottom circuit board to the bottom plate of the mouse.
This screw is a bit tricky during reassembly. A magnetized screwdriver tip did the trick.
-
-
-
Remove the final two Phillips screws near the top of the mouse holding the circuit boards to the plate.
Yes, the transparent piece goes between the boards and needs to be reinserted before the boards are secured to the black bottom case.
-
-
-
Pull the circuit boards loose from the bottom plate.
-
You may need to use a spudger to pry the circuit free.
-
-
-
Carefully pry on each side of the mouse connector until the cable comes free.

Thanks for the guide! Despite being super careful with the springs they managed to flick out when I was screwing the circuit board back in, one was never to be seen again. Thankfully the middle mouse button seems to work fine with just one!
Hi, Phillips #00 Screwdriver didn’t work for me after step8. P00 doesn’t loose those screws, Only its tip is touching to screws, the hole on the screw head is too shallow. Any suggestions?
Alternative tools:
Philips screwdriver, knife and flat screwdriver, magnetic screwdriver tip
You are awsome!
Inside my G500 there's an additional wire soldered between the main PCB and the one that holds the side buttons. It has enough length to allow for disassembly but I did have to take care not to pull on it.
What are the switch model used for the scroll wheel side click buttons (labeled SW7 and SW8) on the board? I want to get them replaced.
Is there a way to fix the cable instead of replacing it?
I used this guide to re-solder the clicker components. My mouse is back to life. Thank you so much!
I will leave a couple notes for who may have other problems like myself.
1. if you rip the zif cable, it’s a standard 10 pin ZIF (sometimes referred to as FLEX) cable, contacts on same side, width 0.5cm, length anything above 6cm will do, I got 10.
2. Clicker components are available on ebay or aliexpress with the model number D2FC-F-7N. Didn’t try dissecting other mouses, the feel just wouldn’t be the same.
Awsome tutorial! Thanks man.
It is a poor design. They should have put a rubber booth on the cable.
