Introduction

If your mouse is intermittently disconnecting, randomly missing movements and inputs - you might have a broken or damaged mouse cable. The mouse cable carries data from the mouse to your computer. A damaged cable can result in missed mouse movements and inputs. Before starting this guide try a different connector (most likely USB) port on your computer, and inspect the connector for dirt and debris.

This guide shows an easy, step-by-step process on how to replace the mouse cable in a Glorious Model O- mouse.

The mouse should be physically unplugged from your computer prior to beginning your repair.

    • Turn the mouse over so that the feet are facing you.

    • Remove the bottom two mouse feet using tweezers.

    • If you plan on reusing the mouse feet place them with the adhesive side up.

    It helps if you warm the two feet a little before you pull them off. You can use a hair-dryer or maybe a toaster if you are careful

    • Slide the base away from the top housing to avoid the front clips.

    • Lift the top and place it down diagonal over the base, exposing the 5-pin connector.

    • Avoid putting strain on the thin LED ribbon cables.

    • Use two fingers to grasp the top of the 5-pin connector under the edges and slowly lift the connector. If it is difficult, wiggle the plug slightly.

    • Do not pull on the wires.

    • Remove the cable from around the circuit board and from the hole on the front of the mouse.

    • Insert the new cable's 5-pin connector plug (red) into the 5-pin connector socket (orange).

    • Do not push on the wires.

    are we just taking out the cable and putting the same one in again?

    • Route the new cable through the slit in the circuit board.

    • Route the new cable behind the pillars.

    • Route the cable through the hole at the front of the mouse. Some cables have a fitted square plastic piece that positions the cable, some have thermoplastic which requires the user to position it themselves.

    • The cable may not stay in place until the top housing is securely fastened back on.

    Are we putting in the same cable as we took out?

    • Join the top and bottom housing together with the top around 1cm ahead of the bottom, then pull the top housing back as illustrated.

    • Once the two sides of the shell are together apply pressure until at least one screw is securely fastening them together.

    • Screw the two screws back in with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Do not apply too much force or you risk stripping the screw holes.

    • Reapply the mouse feet with the adhesive side sticking to the mouse.

    • There are plastic ridges to help guide the user where to place the mouse feet.

    • Certain mouse cables come with new mouse feet which can be applied here instead of reapplying the old feet.
