Oh, bless. You enabled me to revive my M305! Its mouse wheel had ceased to scroll reliably. Following your instructions, I was able to clean out all the accumulated dust and hair and lint that was getting in the way, and now it works like new.

I would add just one more step: There is a screw towards the front of the mouse which holds the wheel down. Remove that, lift out the entire wheel unit, and then you can get at any built-up yuck that was trapped between the wheel and the board.

Ok thank you. I will look into that.

Thanks again.

I’ve found the answer! How to separate out the on-off switch:

The circuit board is fixed to the base/bottom of the mouse by one silver screw in the center–you can see the screw clearly in the last photo Darren posted. Remove that screw, and lift out the circuit board. Since the on-off switch is just sandwiched between the circuit board and the mouse’s base, it will fall out freely as you do this.

one additional thing that’s nifty is to get rid of the spin wheel “click.” to do this, once it’s guts are exposed, take off the wheel mount, remove the wheel from the mount, and stick a small flat head screw driver in the open side to pry out the spinning part. a small ball bearing will fall out - that’s what creates the friction and the “click” when you spin the wheel. now put everything back together and presto! smooth wheeling!
