Pry up the 3 pads on the bottom of the mouse corresponding to the screw holes seen here. Remove the 3 screws there and pry loose the bottom.

Disconnect the cable to free up the bottom part and set it aside.

Look inside the mouse and find the locking tab, one of two, near the back of the left/right mouse button cover plate. It's a hook that you'll need to pry apart, see location at left arrow. It may help to use a spudger to lift up on the back of the cover plate at the same time.
-
There is another locking tab to release but it's obscured. You'll need to use a spudger to pry up on the now widened crack at the back of the cover plate to free up the second tab, hidden from both view and access, but at the right arrow.
-
Once both locking tabs are free at the back, lift up on the cover plate to disengage the cover completely.
To get to the obscured locking tab, I just unscrewed and detached the brown board temporarily. Easy as pie (whereas accessing the locking hook with the board in place was an exercise in frustration.)
I did think briefly whether detaching the brown board was an option, but could not find how to do it. I took the leap of faith to pry the board up, and the second tab popped off. I wouldn’t have thought it would work if I hadn’t tried. I thought I was going to break the mouse.
I got stuck on this step for a while until I tried to pry the button covers up from the outside. It seemed to do the trick for me and was easier than trying to find the obscured locking tab.
(This was on the wireless version of the mouse, but it seems like the insides are pretty similar between the two.)

Once the three screws that are visible from the top are removed you can pry loose the side panel.

Now that you can access them, remove the sensor board from the scroll wheel. The wheel will probably fall out. To reassemble, the thinner side of the scroll wheel axle fits inside the wheel on the sensor board. Put the scroll wheel into the hole first and then insert back into place.

In my case, cleaning the cruft off of the thinner scroll wheel axle is all that was necessary to restore mouse scrolling functionality. Works like new! : )
I found that my problem was that the rubber portion of the scroll wheel was spinning independently of the plastic axle. I ran a thin ring of superglue inside the axle and squeezed the rubber back onto it until i could spin the rubber part and have the whole axle consistently move.
I also had a little cruft on the small axle just like you said, which couldn’t have helped things, so I cleaned that too.
My problem was similar to @joshk0’s, except that the little cruft on the small axle was some cat hair.

To finish reassembling the mouse, follow the steps above in reverse.

Thank you for the clear instructions, Clara. This is the second time I have had to disassemble an Anker Vertical Mouse due to the scroll wheel rubber ring expanding and starting to slip. I took the ring off, applied some epoxy to the groove in the wheel and replaced the ring onto the wheel. Once dried, I reseated the wheel and reassembled the mouse and it now works well. I have suggested to Anker that they use glue or epoxy during the manufacturing process to reduce this common problem from happening.
Without your clear instructions, this would have been a very difficult task, so thanks again for taking the time to share. -

First step is to remove bottom by unscrewing 3 screws. Second step is to remove the button covers. There is a plastic locking tab which you can unlock, doing so will allow you to remove the buttons with some force. You will find 3 screws below the buttons. Unscrew them. Now you can take a spudger to seperate the remaining 2 mouse housings. Voila, you are done.
I took it apart. I put it back together without losing or breaking anything. That all felt like a victory. But at the end of it my mouse still behaves like it has flat batteries (it doesn’t) so the whole exercise seemed like a waste of time.

Paul, these directions will help those whose scroll wheel is acting up due to build up, however microscopic, on the axle.
I’m not sure if there’s much else that can be remedied with this mouse short of replacing it.

This works really well. A couple of steps were slightly different on my mouse, but because of your guide I could figure it out and clean my errant scroll wheel. Thanks!
A while ago I accidentally spilt some juice over my mouse and, although after a couple of days it went back to functioning fine, the left button was very sticky and a pain to use. This was super helpful! Allowed me to reach the dirty part and give it a decent clean. Thanks a lot!!!
Worked perfectly. My wheel was misbehaving so badly it was impossible to use. I dissembled and could not see any obvious crud or anything, so I just wiped everything and then used some canned air.
Now the wheel works perfectly. So, even if you don't see anything, just clean it up and it should get you going again.
Thanks for this guide. Worked perfectly!

I use this method for cleaning my wheel it is work!
I had a misbehaving wheel. This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZfsUhAB... recommended elecronics contact cleaner. I didn't have that, so I put a small drop of pure alcohol on the electronic component that holds the hexagonal axel of the wheel, then scrolled a whole lot and used compressed air to get the alcohol out again. I repeated this process 3x. I fixed two mice that had the same problem with this method.
My scroll wheel wasn't working no matter what I did, so I gave your instructions a go. There was nothing much built up around it to remove. When I put it back together it worked again! Thanks Clara, nice one!
Works good as new. Thanks for the helpful guide. I never found the second locking tab, but once I unhooked the first, then I was able to just pull off the clicker cover and the second somehow disengaged. The wheel is really easy to clean, but you want to leave the rubber tire on the wheel.
My mouse scroll would change directions randomly regardless of which way the wheel was being turned. I took it apart, cleaned it up and put it back together again. Back in business - thanks. FWIW, I had trouble with the 3 sidepanel screws in step 3 and ended up snapping one of the posts, but it seems to be holding up fine with the other two lol.

Hello, do you know what I can use to clean the external part? Mine is a little fluffy
This guide works! Like a few others, I had the problem where the rubber wheel was slipping against the inner plastic wheel. Superglue fixed it. The hardest part was step 2. I found that if I undid the accessible tab and lifted up the mouse button cover with a screwdriver while carefully applying pressure, the cover popped off without breaking the other tab.
Steps 2 and 3 are reversed. Do Step 3 first to unscrew and remove the side panel.
I know why - 답글
