How do you change the batteries? I found no information in the provided instructions on how to change the batteries of the mouse. I looked online everywhere, and couldn't find information about this.

Question

1. Pop off the cover.

2. Press down on the two plastic tabs just above the batteries and this releases a small plastic holder which you then just slide completely out and set aside. (This is probaby the step you were understandably missing because the tabs are small-ish and their purpose isn't documented or readily apparent)

3. With thiis holder out of the way, the batteries have plenty of clearance and can be removed by hand.

4. Replace the batteries, put the plastic clip back into place, reattach the cover, done.

Not hard but the holding clip is not obvious or inuitive and should at the very least have been documented in the guide. It's a nice little mouse though, I'm happy with it, and hope this helps someone.

Just lift the "v" shaped plastic part on the upper side of the mouse. Take out the blue plastic piece that keeps the batteries in place, then you can remove / replace the batteries. It only takes a couple of seconds.

The top comes off-life the back end first and gently pry the loose from the left and right buttons by sliding your finger underneath each one. Next remove the battery brace by pressing down on the blue tabs that stick out and slide the brace forward. Remove the batteries and do it all in reverse. be sure to press the mouse keys to lock the cover on.

Yes. The top comes off.

Schmeckie · Answer

The batteries can be attended to by removing the mouse buttons.
(The buttons are actually just a cover held in place by magnets and tabs).
Pry under the rear of the buttons/cover where it tapers underneath your knuckles. There, you will find the batteries housed in the main body of the mouse.

Pop off the top to get to the battery compartment.

At the back of the mouse where the point is just above the HP logo, simply use your thumbnail to push the button plate up and off the mouse. The batteries are inside and can be easily removed from there. To reattach the button place, place the front end of the plate on first the drop the back on. The back latch is held in place with magnets and will just snap right on.

If you remove the top cover you can change the batteries. This should have been included in your quick start guide.

The top click panel lifts and reattaches very easily. That is where you will find the batteries.

Just pop off the panel on the top of the mouse, then pry the batteries out with your fingers or a butter knife.
