Logitech MX518 to fix or replace

Jock · 1 Jun 2012 at 15:04

I bought this mouse a while back based on suggestions from here and have to say its was a great choice.

Last night i had an accident and ended up pouring a little cider over the keyboard and mouse, the former works fine but the mouse is being a pain as the right mouse button is quite tacky which gets real annoying quickly. How easy is it to take it apart to try and fix it?

I would have bought a new one but I see you dont get them hrere any more and the ones ive found elsehwere seem to a lot more expensive than what it was when i bought mine. With that in mind what would be the closest thing to a replacement?

I had mine apart recently to fix a dodgy cable and it was easy to take apart and put back together. I replaced it but have it as a spare as it works perfectly now, albeit with a 3cm loss in cable length.

lol. I spilt cider on my keyboard. it was terminal, the keys got very sticky impossible to flush out.

it was a QPAD MX85

Where do you even start taking it apart as it doesnt seem that obvious at first glance. Cant find any screw holes or the likes.

I think it was under the sticker underneath.
