Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1850 Disassembly and Clean

This is just a quick video for anyone owning the Microsoft Wireless 1850 Mouse that needs cleaning. A short guide on how to open it up, clean and reassemble the mouse.

[@ertugrulozturk6416]

Sir, even if I thought for forty years, I would never have thought that I would put Vaseline on a mouse. It really worked. Thank you!!

[@dicklanegm7090]

T6 Torx the smallest of my set. Thank you. A very clear explanation and demonstration of what i needed, and how to dismantle and clean the mouse. It's working well now. Thanks

[@SkvaderInvader]

Thank you! My left click was double clicking when all I was doing was a single click, so I popped open the outer shell and cleaned up all the gunk and so far it's working normally again! I've had my mouse for about 3 years and use it every day a LOT so it might just be the end of its lifespan but I'm hoping the problem was just built up stuff!!

[@tonyschippers2902]

Greetings from Belgium. Thank you for showing this to us. Great explanation and also great video!

[@yk5]

I did a complete pull-apart, but it turned out I only needed to clean underneath the top cover. Thank you!

[@jklinsmann85]

Thank you for this video! initially my scroll wheel didnt recover after cleaning off the dust only.. I tried spraying some isopropyl 70% hand sanitizer at the wheel controller, n now it works just fine

[@marjoriebull652]

Thanks--so much better to take 15 minutes to clean it than to spend $10 or $20 to replace it (seriously--I can't afford to shell out every time something isn't quite right!) and throw away a whole handful of plastic besides. Now that I know the top should come off, I'm more confident about pushing it--and I hadn't thought of the credit card. You've made this old lady's day brighter.

[@cute-dogs]

Excellent thanks. Was wondering how you got inside the cover. My scroll wheel was jumping all over the place but thanks to you and some switch cleaner, my year old mouse is working again.

[@negri_prdel]

Thanks, I've repaired my mouse by this. I only needed to open it.

[@alial-aseel958]

Thanks man I was angry from it and it's working like a new now , I appreciate man

[@lhirose]

Amazing video. Helped me a lot!

[@RichUnderwood]

Thank you! Fixed my scrolling jumping all over the place! 😃

[@user-or5ct6yy4l]

Very good and clean video, thanks for sharing this. Works great. My mouse works again.

[@jorgehernandez-pv7fy]

Excelente video, lo entendi en un 80% en ingles, pero lo mejor son los subtitulos que pusiste en español, muchas gracias por ello, lo comprendi a la perfeccion y ya limpie mi mouse y esta trabajando como nuevo.

[@llTORMENTAll]

Hola, sabes qué liquido puso para limpiarlo?

[@mateus.vasconcelos]

Very good! My mouse wasn't turning on at all. Just opened and cleared with isopropanol alcohol and went new again, thanks.

[@rommelportal8006]

Excelente explicación, me ayudo con mi problema, muchas gracias por tu aporte, Saludos

[@ars4455]

a guitar pick (Dunlop 50 or 60mm) is the perfect tool to open this kind of mouse 👍thanks for this video, it helped me a lot... i was about to throw my mouse away...

[@chrisl3140]

Great video! Helped me fix my MS mouse. Thank you!

[@jairofernandovacasandoval2772]

thank's a lot, now my mouse is working great!!!!!, excellent video

[@svcross-do]

Dude, it works like new now. Thank you.

[@Mek7777]

Nice video for people like me who can't figure out the first step to take it apart - no screws - as in almost all today's electronics stuff. It's not meant to be fixed, just throw this one into garbage and buy a new one. Sure, the environment will thank us. Luckily we can fix this stuff and it's so simple. This mouse had issues with the left button so contact spray made it work again, and today the scroll wheel started slipping, so I sprayed the encoder, and voila, it's working seamlessly again. I have even bought spare click buttons so I can change them when they stop working completely. So until something mechanical gets broken or a cat eats it, this mouse will last forever :)

[@PaulDielemans]

Thanks for your guidance. I managed to open the mouse as per video but broke the little plastic clips! However the mouse is now working and the seems to be holding together with the remaining clips. :)

[@ImagineInteractive]

Thanks a lot for your video. it helped me a lot and fixed my problem. the funny thing is that i have the exact mouse and screw set :)

[@alangotlieb3339]

Thanks, I couldn't work out how to open it, thought it was glued and I'd have to cut it open.
One minor thing... I'd have tried out the bare board before reassembling it in the case just to make sure the switch and the encoder were now good. May have needed more work.

[@luiz_pantoja]

Awesome!!! My left botton came alive again!! Thanks a lot!!!

[@sdkdb]

Thank you mate, you helped me fix my mouse

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. I'm certain my mouse will work for another year or two with this.

[@boonlianglim5820]

Thank you for this very helpful video! May I know what was it that you sprayed to clean the parts? Cheers!

[@TheStuffMade]

It's a contact cleaner, mostly just isopropyl alcohol.

[@abdullahebrar2475]

Thank you ! that's what ı ve been looking for. My scroll wheel broke from the inside and click button doesn't work.

[@d7d835f6b]

Thank you, very helpful. I suggest you guys clean while you're disassembling the mouse not just after it. My mouse was not working and now it's ok.

[@d7d835f6b]

So, where did you buy your toolkit? Can I purchase one of this online? :D

[@TheStuffMade]

@@d7d835f6b I bought it online, probably ebay, try search for mini screwdriver set, it only cost around $6-7 and it's very useful to have around.

[@josylannedias]

Muuuito obrigado!!!!

[@daneedwards8903]

All I want to know is, can it drag click? I would test it, but its batteries are flat and (because of stupid lockdown) I can't replace them....

[@sauldia]

Buen video, una pregunta, la rueda del mouse, el eje que ingresa al soporte se rompio, que me recomiendas para reparalo.

[@TheStuffMade]

Thanks, you might be able to use super glue to put it back together, but I doubt it will hold without drilling a small hole and inserting a pin, but you'll need to use something like a 0.5mm drill bit.
Cheers,
Jake

[@jorgehernandez-pv7fy]

Yo lo repararia con una broquita de las que usan los joyeros y al grueso del pernito y pondria algun pedacito de tubito plastico o aguja estambrera o un pedazo de clavo del grosor de la perforacion y listo, con eso lo reparas, todo depende de tu ingenio y de los materiales que tengas a la mano.

[@page6atr]

Thanks you!!
That was fast and I cleaned my mouse it was full with cat hairs

My mouse wheel wasnvt workinh after accidentally dropping it on the floor. Apparently the force that opened the lips travelled through the mouse, breaking the small connection between the mouse wheel and the part that goes into the red circle.

Thank You

[@charlyc.931]

que aerosol le coloca ?

[@VishwaNathGummaRaju]

RC, you do have a sure touch; the small screws fitted so deftly! The mouse was working beautifully till i left it for some time with the cell in it. Though alkaline cell, it leaked and now the mouse does not work. I tried cleaning with spirit the way you demo`d. Still, no go. can you offer guidance. Thank you n rgrds VishG p.s. i am subscribed to you

[@TheStuffMade]

IMO the best way to clean corrosion from leaking batteries is to use a fiberglass pen and gently rub the metal contact surfaces until the corrosion is gone, then it should work again.
Cheers,
Jake

[@CanaldaCarol23]

Thanks for the clue, but, if you blowing the "scroll", maybe resolve your problem.
Sorry for my english... 😅

[@CharlyArceSibaja24]

Thanks, I was having the same issue.

[@Fielith]

You know what, my left click need to be pressed with some pressure to click. BUT when i tried to open the top case with some card, and i tried again (didnt even open it) and it WORKS again wow,.

[@TheStuffMade]

lucky! maybe the button was stuck or something and you got it released by trying to open the case.
Cheers,
Jake

Thank you.

[@triinhnguyenhuu8040]

hey sir, What is the name of the tool you used to open the screws in the video?

[@TheStuffMade]

It's just a screwdriver set. Search for "mini screwdriver set" on ebay, aliexpress, amazon etc and you will find it. It's not expensive.

[@maxuelbrito4684]

Trank you my friend

[@ahmedabdellatif781]

What spray you used?

[@TheStuffMade]

It's a contact cleaner from the WD40 company, it's the type that just cleans without leaving any oil behind. You can see it around 11:08 in the video.
Cheers,
Jake

[@michaelreeves1147]

You could probably use 99% isopropanol in a spray bottle with equal effect.

[@diegosarango2243]

WHA spray is?

[@user-hm2lf4oh2m]

What kind of liquid have you used ?

[@TheStuffMade]

Hi, I'm using WD40 contact cleaner. Make sure it's the contact cleaner, not the lubricant.
Cheers,
Jake

[@mimipopescu]

Mine has no scew holes

[@TheStuffMade]

You have to remove the top cover to get to the screws.

[@peterskyw]

thank you, great video, dont need new mouse...jajajajjaja

[@mimipopescu]

Im screwed

[@vegalyrics]

omg i opened it and very dirty.

[@jrM5492]

Just a clean up, no need to fix anything?!

[@TheStuffMade]

Yes, just dirty contacts, it's the most common issue when a mouse starts acting up. A few sprays with some contact cleaner will fix the problem.
Cheers,
Jake

[@jrM5492]

@@TheStuffMade I have Microsoft 3600, its scroll wheel is acting up right now, but the structure of the wheel makes it difficult to take apart.

[@TheStuffMade]

@@jrM5492 Yeah, the 3600 is quite different in construction. However I think if you get the cover off then you have enough space to spray some contact cleaner into where the wires come out of the wheel assembly on the left side. Do it a couple of time while you scroll the wheel forth and back, that will likely solve the problem.
