How To Fix Apple Magic Mouse 2 - open up and repair left or right click

[@amikaikian7042]

Mine too. Apparently someone dropped my magic mouse from the table but didn’t tell me. Thank you for helping finding out the issue and making this video. I noticed there’s a bend and tried to widen it using knife carefully as suggested in one of the comments. Now it works!

[@oelmoney]

so useful, this is exactly what happen to me! For others watching and reading this, I used an plastic card instead of the metal screwdriver that he used and it opened up just fine without any scratches! I then used a liner between the pliers and mouse to bend the casing back to also prevent scratches. Turned out perfectly fine with hardly any scratches!

[@alexivanchenko7889]

Awesome! Did as I've mentioned using plastic card - zero scratches and mouse like new now

[@erickergon4825]

how about it? Just dropped my mouse last night and the friggin´ right click just wouldn't work anymore... stumbled up into your video looking for a solution. Opened up the mouse just like you said, turns out the case was bent just like yours, straightened it out and BOOM. Mouse went back to normal. Awesome, dude!

[@sonafricker2395]

I had the same problem of dropping the mouse - hit a hard floor on the right hand corner. After watching your video I simply slid a screwdriver between the back and front cover edges and eased the aluminium down. It worked! There was no need to remove the bottom from the top. I took me less than a minute to fix.Thank you so much for working out how fix the problem.

[@jackburton5809]

Thanks for the help!!! I dropped mine this morning and researched KZbin. I pried it apart with my finger nails working around the edges and opened perfectly. As per your video I was able to fixed it. I also found some foreign particles---cleaned it and now working perfectly. Thanks again for the help, Jack B

[@toothfairymom9404]

@Jackburton5809 Thanks for your comment about removing foreign particles--- It made me consider that this is the reason that my mouse was not moving the cursor on the first try. I had to use several swipes across the mousepad to get the cursor to go where I wanted it. I just forcefully blew air into the little tracking light under the mouse, and, Voilà! It works again!

[@jonathanbray1029]

Many thanks. I had exactly the same problem and cause of the problem, but instead of taking it apart I just used a kitchen knife to twist it back to shape. The gap was not the same all the way around. No need to take it apart.

[@ibizamusic]

next time I`ll know and take a knife as well :-)))

[@Mrbounty2000]

For the people who don't want to open the device. I just pressed firmly with my nail down and that worked as well. if that doesn't work then maybe you have to open it. Thanks for the video!

[@CamilleBourgeois-sl8ee]

Il n'est pas nécessaire de l'ouvrir. Achetez une lime plate d'horloger et limez l'alu afin d'accroître l'espace pour cliquer. Merci pour le conseil

[@hargs]

I didnt open the casing but followed the gap between the shell and reshaped it - now the right click works so thanks for the guidance!

[@alessandradigiovanni3051]

I did the same and as a magic spell... It worked 🙂

[@kristinmisko6231]

This was exactly my problem. My husband was able to open the mouse with just his fingernail. It was a quick adjustment and now it's working again. Thanks for the video!

[@notblabby]

I had the same issue. Dropped it on the ground due to carelessness, and the right click wasn't working properly. Though mine isn't 100% back to normal, it's certainly much better than it was after I dropped it. Thanks friend!

[@iamgallivantin]

Had the same problem, and your video helped a lot, thanks! For those who have decided to take the risk of opening up your Magic Mouse 2, just be extra careful as mentioned to avoid breaking any plastic components that might be helping to hold the upper and lower part of the mouse together. I broke one such component on the left side, but it is fortunately not affecting the usability of the mouse.

[@folakemi_odesola]

Thank you so much. This worked!!!

[@GentleGiant31]

Thank you so much! I dropped my mouse from the 2nd floor and the right click wasn’t working at all. Didn’t have to open it up, just lifted it with a small screwdriver and adjusted the part with pliers. Left a dent but what’s important is that it works now!

[@heitorcovre7207]

I didn't even have to open it. By just putting pressure in between both parts to diverge them was enough to repair it. Thanks for the video.

[@jordankersey1491]

woah - the weirdest thing just happened - I came here looking for a solution, and made an attempt of my own at opening, and must of pushed it back into place because I managed to get it clicking again without opening it at all - Thanks for the video! super helpful

[@dustindewind_]

Thank you so much. My cat threw my mouse on the floor and right mouse button stopped working. Almost spent $99 on a new one but luckily found your video. Fixed it using the exact same method! I feel it even clicks better than before with a stronger click, lol.

[@Luke-hu7oi]

This is a life saver. I only had to adjust mine, without opening it, with a little thumb force and a screwdriver. Thanks so much for taking the risk!

[@ibizamusic]

Perfect, that's great to hear :-) THX for your positive feedback!

[@jonlariviere6435]

Thank you! I didn't even have to take mine apart to fix it with this method! I was able to wedge the edge of a knife in the opening of the right-click and bend it down ever so slightly. That did the trick! And no visible damage to the mouse! Thanks again for risking your 100 euros, it saved me 100 dollars 🙏🏻 😄

[@ibizamusic]

Hi Jon, thx for the great feedback. That was to plan to save money and the environment ;-) Perfect, that it i could help. Best Max

[@AlineDo]

Wow, thanks. I dropped my mouse too (several times) and now managed to fix it this way. A new mouse was already in my shopping basket. It does seem at the moment that I can't click too far to the corner but it does work. I'll see how it goes. I can always open it again. Great video!

[@ibizamusic]

THX Aline for your feedback. Cheers from Ibiza Max

[@BrianCarroll-l1w]

I I did exactly as you did, but placed a t-shirt as a buffer between the pliers and the mouse casing. BINGO! I have my right click back and there is no visual damage. THANK YOU for being brave :)

[@ibizamusic]

Great idea, I’ll do that next time too 😜👍🏼

[@Martin-tz6yv]

Thanks!!! I fixed mine without open it. Just inserted a small gripper in the space between the metal and the plastic and bendit down. It works perfect!

[@verkaufstrainer]

Great :-) Next time, i`ll do it the same way :-))) Cheers from Spain

[@noroi-kun7287]

I'm not going to say this didn't help, because I just watched until you opened it and not a second further. But in all honesty, it reassured me that if I did open it, it wouldn't be permanently broken. All I did was pry open the forward-facing side and put it right back and BOOM! Either way, good video, 10/10.

[@gabrielmoises8063]

My son dropped the mouse several times during the pandemic home school. you saved my mouse and wallet. thanks for the video.

[@gammacreatives]

Had my mouse in my pocket. Took it out and it wasn't clicking with the normal response i was used to. I was able to open the gap and blow out some dust, or something and now works great. Your video was helpful. Thanks again!

[@zmccon]

The ONLY helpful disassembly video for this mouse on the internet!!! Why is this?! idk but bless you.

[@ibizamusic]

THX Amigo :-)

[@kenshapperttravelstheworld8845]

Absolute Hero mate. Took a bit to understand how it works once I opened it up. But once I understood how it works and did what you showed it made complete sense. Would have had to buy another mouse without ya, cheers man!

[@rapbhan]

Thank you! I did open up too and blew the dust (if any)up so that it would function ....and as the name says it was 'magic' mouse and it started working! Yay! Would upgrade to Magic mouse 3 if it would arrive with iMac 2020. Once again thank you so much!

[@AvlisOnurb]

You helped me solve my problem, you deserved a thousand likes. Thank you very much and God bless you!

[@elnicotropico]

thanks! my problem was not exactly the same, but you helped me close fear and just open it, and know it's working smoothly.

[@okuanwai]

My kids' mouse as same as your mouse problem, i think the dropped the mouse and the right click exactly can't work and also a bit dented at the right click, so i opened the mouse like what you show, and use a metal letter opener to push the lower metal part of the mouse, and IT IS WORK! you save me S$99 for another mouse!!! Thanks a lot of your video.

[@ibizamusic]

Hey Dean, thats exactly the reason why i made this video. Great to hear, that i could save some money for you and your kids. Have a nice time and stay healthy! Cheers from Ibiza Max

[@TheEsme43]

Thank you so much! I did exactly the same. Dropped it and right click no longer worked and left click worked off and on. Now both are back to normal! Saved $100 and have just a couple of scratches thanks to you!

[@TheoriginalBillBraskey]

I couldn’t figure out what my problem was. Thought something internal was messed up. It was the metal got bent. Thanks this video fixed it from having to push down supper hard to almost working like it did when new. Good enough.

[@dulshandharmaratne8636]

Worked like a charm ! Didn't even have to unhook the rear fixing only the front. Thank you man.

[@marcusmerrin192]

Wonderful! I drop these things all the time. I believe Apple deliberately engineer them to fail in this way. I have now repaired 2 out of 3 old MM2s that had this problem! Good job!

[@pmpzen]

Just got a brand new space gray MM2 and it perfect with no problems, but this video was so satisfying to watch! I can now feel relieved that these aren't taped or glued in case I need to pry it open someday! great video!

[@andrzejpaciuszkiewicz6319]

Thanks, I had exactly the same problem, but after your video I saw how this mouse is built and I knew how to do it easier, I didn't open the mouse, I just put a small screwdriver in the defolded place and behind this place I used my thumb and just pulled out the crease, the plate is very weak in that mouse, have a nice day

[@ibizamusic]

Perfect 👍🏼

[@Casmod78]

Thanks a lot, i had the same problem with my right button. it fell on the floor yesterday. Without opening the mouse, i was able to bend the housing a little with a small teaspoon. It works again!!! thanks for your video.

[@jameshart3879]

My friend, you just saved me $80!! Thank you!

[@henri8168]

Very useful, thank you! My magic mouse started magically work, right after watching this video.

[@ronie4105]

Worked perfectly! My mouse looks really banged up after my first failed opening attempts, but now the right click works again! Just had to bend the right side a little bit like you did in the video.

[@PoppaChris]

Thanks for this. You are fearless. I watched your video and also a video by ifixit, and took my mouse apart and fixed it!

[@geometricbass]

extremely useful - just fixed my mouse in about 2 mins thanks to you

[@overproof1460]

thanks to your sacrifice, I got the confidence to open mine & troubleshoot

[@Wavefolders]

...just lifted up a little bit and it worked again! There was no opening needed! thx

I had exactly the same problem and this solution was so simple and effective!

[@stevesugden3053]

Thanks Max. Like Tim below me, my right-click was "sticky" and your video gave me the confidence to take a screw driver to it. Quick clean out of the accumulated human debris (to much info?) and it's as good as new.

[@inesdermul7873]

OMG! you are an angel! got it dropped yesterday and thanks it works now again!

[@howardbryant7745]

Thanks for the tips, I had the same problem, and your VDO gave me the confidence to do it.

[@2kpixy]

I was about to buy a new one but I found your video! Thank you, genius!

[@piros.art.galeria]

Great help! I just put some tape on it to prevent scratching. Thanks a lot!

[@ibizamusic]

perfect, you`re welcome :-)

[@VVeiQuek]

"I was searching on KZbin, I couldn't find anything like that" "I found something on youtbue that the first Magic Mouse is..." Dudeee, that was word-by-word my thoughts when I watched this video. Great mind thinks alike, regardless of space and time. Lol lol thanks for sharing! My problem was the glass layer looks stained, but it is from the inner sides. I tried thin papers/brush/magic sponge etc, none worked. Thanks for saving me from having to reach out to some awkward friends that use Mac for this problem. Strangely though, I at first thought there would be a lot of videos about the product. (but actually the first version with battery)

[@Be10guevara]

this was my exact problem, thanks man! I didn't even have to open it up. once I realized the aluminum on mine was a little bend I got a screw driver in there and straightened it out.

[@ibizamusic]

Hey Byan, great to hear that. I wish i had know it before as well :-))) Anyway, mine is working perfect as well and my little scratches are reminding me everyday LOL Take care and cheers from Ibiza

[@Ksawery_K]

Hello, the aluminium on mine at the front is a bit bent, it is not allowing my right click to actually click. I am worried that if I open up my apple mouse 2 then I won't be able to close it / will break it. Any solutions.

[@IvanTorre]

Thank you very much !! I fixed the dent on the bottom with a spoon and it worked!! I didn't even have to open it

[@elkaosenpanama]

thanx man you save my Magic Mouse greetings from Panama city

[@st17a]

I thought this wasn't my case. I've never dropped my mouse, it seemed to be ok, so I was looking for another solution. I found that there is no "right click" on this mouse to be exact. It's just one click (one physical button) and "right click" is simply a click with a touch on the right side of the panel. So I came back, followed your advice, I bent it a little and BINGO ;) Thanks a lot.

[@MasonStone-r7v]

Thank you so much more sharing this video! I was able to fix my mouse within 10 minutes!!

[@jackberriman9530]

Had the same problem. Managed to fix it by using a terminal drive to bend down the right hand side. Thanks a million! 👍🏻

[@alejandrobazo7615]

Bro, thanks from Peru. It worked for me…

[@ibizamusic]

Perfecto :-) Cheers from Ibiza Amigo

[@nothuman3212]

Nice i used a car trim plastic pick tool and bent it out without opening it.. Thank you for the awesome video and the free fix on a broken brand new mouse

[@DivinityOfNature]

Thanks a lot! Had to look long and hard to actually see the bend. Carefully straightened it with pliers and it worked!! - Mine was the left click that was not working

[@macpreston]

Your a legend that sorted mine out aswell!

[@BenedickVenzon]

Brilliant! saved me a 100 bucks :)

[@autotalktv]

Youre welcome 😜👍🏼

[@harryo55]

I had the same problem bought mouse dropped from when I opened box been sitting there 12mths and been using a usb mouse did what you did and it’s working fine so thanks a lot for the video 👍🏻

[@Alemostro]

Thanks, the solution you show on the video it so helpful, you bring my mouse back to life!

[@ARMAN12CARAZ]

Thank you !!! One of the most helpful videos ever, thank you!

[@ibizamusic]

[@vfinger04]

[@rita2mt]

One of the most helpful videos ever, thank you!

[@ibizamusic]

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@saravmuthuswamy5547]

Worked like a charm. But I did not have to take it apart, just used a metal strip to bend the back into shape and now all is well. Thanks!

[@RamBowMike]

You gave the best advice in 2021.... Thank You!

[@ibizamusic]

THX for the positive feedback :-)

[@mariex6]

Thank you so much! I was able to fix my mouse watching this video!

[@jamesb4263]

Thanks matie . Having seen your video I realized I didn't need to open the whole thing just straighten the metal on the right side 👍

[@andredelarosa7018]

Great video! Thanks so much it save me money. good job! 👏

[@michelecaleffi]

Thanks for going through the bother, worked perfectly! Only opened up one side. The man!

[@pdiomede]

Wow! Huge thanks, it falled for me as well, and your video is great. Helped fixing my mouse in 5 min.

[@harshvardhangodara5852]

Fun Fact: My mouse automatically fixed after seeing this video😂😂

[@ibizamusic]

😂😂😂

[@babluchaitanya5248]

Same thing happened to me now.!! Lol🤣🤣🤣 it automatically fixed😂😂

[@GarGlingT]

Make silent magic mouse modify. Haha it is too old no apple gonna claim these.

[@hichamouahi1]

Mouse like : damn bro discovered our secret it’s finally time for giving up

[@doskalata]

Thanks for risking your hardware! I was able to tweak the same spot with a pocket knife without opening it. Worked like a charm! Now to fix all the jammed keys on a keyboard that's 3 months old. All this new apple stuff is crap!

[@doskalata]

None of this was sarcastic. I was about to pry this thing open like you did but saw what you did and was able to fix it with out having to risk it!

[@ibizamusic]

@@doskalata :-) perfect that it works now THX for the positive feedback cheers from Ibiza Max

[@HanzWors]

Thanks for the sacrifice dude

[@awsoftwaresrl7501]

I had the same problem and I fix it with your solution. Thank you very much. Best Regards

[@narendrasurana]

Had the same problem, right click wasn't working/clicking smoothly. I just used your concept and without opening the mouse, I fixed the issue. I fixed the very small dent on the right side of the mouse with the backside of a spoon (the first thing I saw on the table) without opening the mouse and it fixed.

[@hamishrodda]

Thanks, I fixed mine which had the same symptom but a different issue. When I clicked on the top right, the bottom left would lift up, therefore not applying any force on the button which is at the top left. Couldn't see any damage which is responsible for this laxity. Closed it again and put a bit of stickytape over the bottom left between the casing and surface. That is enough to hold the buttom left, so that the top right can apply pressure to the button which is on the top left. Genius engineering but maybe the casing connections could be a little stronger :)

[@michelcedrick]

Your video was very useful, I just dropped my mouse. Now it’s fixed. Thanks for sharing.

[@Xpajun]

Thanks for this - I really wanted to know how to get into my mouse without damaging it - rather than a screwdriver I used a plastic lever you can get in the tools for removing the screen on mobiles, cheap on eBay, and a tip for everyone when using pliers for straightening the base use a piece of carboard to protect the outside surface

[@roycarmona833]

My mouse didn't look pretty after but saved me money! Thanks mate!

[@BuckeyeStateMalaise]

Ah heck yeah thanks man, got my mouse working in 5 minutes thanks to you

[@OscarKochpiano]

I did it. Thank you so much. It worked.

[@ibizamusic]

Great 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@shahabmokhtare6252]

Thanks for the video! My mouse wasn't clicking after a drop on the floor either. After watching your video I saw I didn't even have to open it. Just opened up the frame on front of the mouse so there would be space to click it. I used a small/thin flat head screw driver.

[@anthonyloeb8572]

Thank you. I had the same issue. Your video showed me the way.

[@ibizamusic]

You`re welcome :-)

[@allankelley176]

Thank you for your video... exact thing happened to me. I had no idea it was caused by a bent piece...my mouse is working again!!!!

[@ashnk]

just saved me 100 bucks, thanks fam

[@ecappabianca]

Thank you for the video -- it actually helped me in fixing my mouse that dropped on the tile and had the same exact issue / bent it back and its golden. I also didn't even take the entire thing off, I just popped the front part off a little bit and then bent it back! cheers

[@sophocle4427]

The best Apple's customer service is this video
