Introduzione

Questa guida ti mostrerà come smontare in modo sicuro un mouse Logitech G502 Hero in preparazione alla sostituzione dei componenti interni del mouse per la riparazione o il rinnovamento.

Strumenti

Passo 1

Per far sì che non dia fastidio, arrotola il cavo USB usando la fascetta in velcro integrata.
Se la fascetta in velcro del cavo è danneggiata o manca, puoi usare una normale fascetta.

Passo 2

Rimuovi la copertura dei pesetti da sotto il mouse sollevandola dal piedino del mouse.
Puoi rimuovere i pesetti se vuoi, ma non è necessario per lo smontaggio.

Passo 3

Usando una pistola termica (impostata al minimo), scalda i tre piedini del mouse, ciascuno per diversi secondi.
Infila un plettro sotto i piedini del mouse e l'adesivo sottostante.
Se fatto correttamente, dovresti poter rimuovere i piedini del mouse con l'adesivo ancora attaccato.
Se l'adesivo non viene via con i piedini, puoi grattarlo via con uno spudger.

Passo 4

Svita le quattro viti a croce Phillips che tengono insieme le due metà del mouse.

the top screw is actually more to the right and wrongly marked in the picture

Passo 5

Infila la parte piatta di uno spudger in plastica nella zona indicata tra la copertura superiore e quella inferiore.
Le due metà del mouse si separeranno quasi del tutto con una minima forza.
Non cercare ancora di separare le metà.

Passo 6

Infila la parte piatta di uno spudger in plastica tra la copertura superiore e quella inferiore nella parte sinistra del mouse, accanto al tasto sinistro.
Le coperture superiore ed inferiore si separeranno completamente, permettendoti di sollevare quella superiore.
Stai attento a non rompere i ganci in plastica che tengono insieme le due metà.

Passo 7

Usando la parte piatta di uno spudger, solleva attentamente entrambi i lati del blocco che tiene fermo il cavo a nastro.
Una volta rilasciato il blocco, il cavo a nastro dovrebbe rimuoversi facilmente dal connettore.
Non fare troppa forza mentre rilasci il blocco, altrimenti potresti danneggiare il connettore.

Passo 8

Rimuovi la scheda laterale tirandola all'infuori per accedere al connettore del cavo a nastro.
Usando la stessa tecnica usata per il connettore del cavo a nastro del sensore Hero, rilascia il blocco del cavo.
Rimuovi il cavo a nastro con la scheda laterale.

Passo 9

Il gruppo della rotella è tenuto fermo da una barra di bloccaggio, che deve essere rimossa.
Usando la punta di uno spudger in plastica, spingi la barra di bloccaggio fuori dal lato destro.
Dopo aver fatto ciò, puoi rimuovere la barra di bloccaggio.

Passo 10

Rimuovi il gruppo della rotella dal mouse.
Ci sono due piccole molle per il click della rotella; queste sono molto piccole e si possono perdere molto facilmente.

Passo 11

Svita le quattro viti a croce Phillips vicino alla parte anteriore del mouse.
Svita la vite a croce Phillips vicino alla presa del cavo a nastro del sensore Hero.
Puoi ora rimuovere il supporto per il gruppo della rotella.

Passo 12

Usando la parte piatta di uno spudger in plastica, scollega la presa del cavo USB dalla scheda madre spingendo fuori il maschio della presa.
Dopo aver creato una piccola fessura grande abbastanza, puoi usare la punta di uno spudger per spingere fuori la presa.
Rimuovi la scheda madre dalla copertura inferiore del mouse.

Passo 13

Dopo aver rimosso la scheda madre, hai scoperto la scheda del sensore Hero.
Svita le due viti a croce Phillips che tengono ferma la scheda Hero.
Usando delle pinzette, rimuovi attentamente i due distanziali in nylon dai perni.
Rimuovi la scheda del sensore Hero.

Passo 14

Inizia rimuovendo il pezzo di plastica trasparente sopra l'allentatore del cavo.
Dopo aver rimosso il pezzo di plastica trasparente, il cavo può essere rimosso dall'allentatore e dalla copertura inferiore.

Passo 15

Ecco tutti i componenti interni per riferimento
Viti a croce Phillips
Molle della rotella
Distanziali in nylon del sensore Hero
Cavi a nastro della scheda laterale e della scheda del sensore Hero
Gruppo della rotella
Supporto per la rotella e barra di bloccaggio

Conclusione

Sostituisci le parti necessarie e quindi segui queste istruzioni in ordine inverso per rimontarlo.

What’s that button near at the spring on top. Is that a middle mouse button? (yellow button thing at the middle at the top)

Nicholin V -

You are correct, that is the middle mouse button

spslizer -

What’s a good replacement switch for the 2 main left/right buttons? They say OMRON 3159C21 D2FC-F-K

Anthony Clark -

That’s a good switch to replace them with

Me personally, I like to pull the switches off of other mice, like those rebranded Logitech ones that are bundled with some computers

The G502 is easy enough to pull apart and put back together that I don't mind replacing the switches on occasion

spslizer -

Oh shoot, you have to do soldering to replace switches? Those black boxes? Yikes, may be something I dont want to mess with if so. If I can just figure out how to clean them I will try that, but if I have to replace them with soldering, I am doomed lol

Living Simple And Fun -

@spslizer sorry I wasn’t clearer before: the switches that are on the primary/secondary buttons are the OMRON D2FC-F-K and the primary switch has failed. I’m replacing them both with Kailh GM 8.0 switches since they seemed to have a good reputation.

I definitely need to study desoldering more though, I am having a lot of trouble removing the bad switches!!

Anthony Clark -

I find that the easiest way to desolder them is to heat up the existing solder, add more new solder, then use a desolder vacuum pump as close as you can to the pin while your iron is still there. If there's still a small residual amount “tacking” it on, heat up the pad around the hole and then wiggle the switch around

It helps to have a helping hands station and a pair of tweezers or hemostats to hold the switch, as the switch and pads will get hot

spslizer -

Hi! I was just wondering if you knew the dimensions of the screw! I lost one when I took it apart and now my right click is a little bit wonky. Thanks!

Sophie T -

Hi Sophie. I unfortunately cannot find the shell and screws of one of these mice.

I would recommend trying one of the shell screws from one of the bottom holes and put it in the hole under the right click or the front hole, depending on which is missing

The microswitch may also be on its way out; a “bounce” click when you click and hold is a good indication of this

spslizer -

Disregard the first part of my comment. I have the measurements from the shell screws

On mine they are M2x10.25mm screws. The head looks to be about 3.25mm wide

spslizer -

Can you plz let me know the dimensions of yellow button (middle click button)? Thanks.

Mujtaba Ali Panjwani -

From my measurements with a non-digital caliper, it is approximately 9.5mm square, with a height of approximately 1mm

If measuring from the outside where the component is indented for the contacts, it is about 8.5mm. The button looks almost like a very stubby “+” symbol. I hope this information helps!

spslizer -

It's 4 x 4 x 0.8mm. I had to replace the middle click button of my Proteus Spectrum (also a G502 model, much earlier than the hero)

Ian Troy Alvaran -

Gracias! pude cambiar los botones de mouse sin problema

Daniel Barros -

Super Anleitung! Habe mit der Anleitung meine Maus schnell zerlegen und die neuen Ersatzteile einbauen können.

Die Ersatzteile habe ich von:

My left mouse button stopped functioning properly and I saw a solution for anotheer mouse that said open it up, get to the button sensor (not sure the exact name, and clean off some build up, like is it oxidation? I need to look it up again. But basically, it affects the sensor so that the button wont accept to be held down. You press the button down but it acts like a normal button click.

So now I need to find the sensor and clean it, or replace it. Because the mouse is useless without a good left mouse button.

I see the housing for the sensor (i assume those black boxes under each button. I just need to safely open it up and clean inside.

Living Simple And Fun - 26/10/22

You are correct, the rectagular boxes are the microswitches. It doesn't surprise me that oxidation or even just dust and skin oils could lead to these buttons not working. I've always just replaced the microswitches entirely if they fail or go on the fritz; assuming the the microswitch can be opened up, cleaned, and put it back together, then I don't see why not give it a try

spslizer -

It wont let me reply to you directly for some reason even though I can anybody else, but I am trying to figure out how to open the box up now.
That said, I dont mind changing it out, except I need to know how to safely remove the box. They dont have instructions on that part. Hopefully I can find a video about this online for a mouse with a similar set up.

Living Simple And Fun -

Thank you for the disassembly walk-through. I just replaced the right mouse button with an OMRON D2FC-F-7N and it is a little more firm and makes a little more click. I also had some D2FC-F-K on order but I was impatient.

Trevor Bugera -

Hello, do I need to buy new rubber feet for the mouse or is it possible to reuse the ones I removed? How should i place them back? I don't wanna glue them down because maybe I will need to open it again in the future.

Chilled Gaming -

You should buy new feet/skates just in case. It's easy to mess up the removal. I heated them up and still destroyed one. The bigger rubber skate at the front separated from the glue and was no longer reusable. The rest came off pretty easily.

AlienFreak -

Thanks for the guide. I had the mouse 1 actuator on two of these mice become dodgy for the mouse 1 hold. Was fine for single clicks.

Used isopropyl alcohol and an air blaster to clean the case properly and all is good. It's amazing how little dirt it takes to impede the click, can really feel the difference

SirShortFuse -

My first Logitech mouse that I bought in the early 2000s lasted almost a decade. I'm on my fourth Hero, thanks to this guide I no longer have to repurchase these mice. I can just fix them now myself but I sure do wish they made them quality like how they did before.

The guide doesn't say how to remove the wheel from the cradle. It's a bit of a PITA but I managed it with the tweezers.

To remove the wheel from the cradle, you have to remove a small screw underneath, pull the cradle off, then pull the retaining pin for the metal bit that sticks inside the wheel away from the transparent plastic assembly that contains the wheel. To get the wheel out, what I did was push the tweezers in as if to grab the wheel itself. You have to push them in pretty deep. The tips of the tweezers should be positioned underneath the middle section of the wheel where the wheel clips in. The tweezers thickness will spread the plastic, then you just pull the wheel out.

It was pretty hard for me as an amateur. There's a risk that the plastic could break, but I managed to get it out safely.

AlienFreak -

I took a photo for reference when I started assembling it back.

Note that the metal pin can be pulled out entirely. Be careful not to lose it though. I only pulled mine enough to get it out of the wheel. It's not necessary to remove it completely.

AlienFreak -

For me personally (the latching of) the scroll wheel feels a bit awkward (too right or too loose, I am not sure?) Sometimes when scrolling with too light touch on the wheel it scrolls forward but then pops back a notch when letting go and other times when I only want to scroll one line it scrolls more than one line too easy. Looking at the pictures (spring loaded metal bar pressing against notches on the inside of the wheel) it seems there is no easy fix for this? Anyone who has had this mouse open, do you think it would be possible to change the tension of the spring to make the scroll-latching more/less resistive? Or maybe even reshape (deepen/steepen?) the notches on the inside of the wheel.... Can't really tell from the pictures what the best options would be - or buy different mouse :)

M.K. -

Thanks for this very detailled and usefull tutoriel !

ml4nc3 -

hello can anyone tell me a part number for switch 3 under the mouse wheel . mine fell and its not working right the switch dome is crunched

mauryk -

I just want to be able to clean out all the gunk and grease making my mouse buttons stick.

In the future, I'll make it a point to pass on the pretty, ergonomic design that makes this unnecessarily complicated in favor of a design that makes it a quick and simple process.

Believe it or not, for some of us, function > form.

True talent is delivering on both.

Ron Lawrence -

This is a great first half of the disassembly, but does not seem to cover any of the shell/button disassembly. See https://imgur.com/gallery/Et5fIJk for photos and instructions on that. Feel free to add the photos to this post.
