[QUOTE="rwernst, post: 1062117, member: 160509"] Found the solution at last, thanks to a fellow named James from the UK. You just pull off the coloured plastic trim, then you can access the two philips screws to finish disassembly. If you put a fingernail from the bottom/side of the mouse, under the end of the plastic trim by the cord and push upwards a bit, it'll pop right out. Do the same on the other end of the piece (there are two halves to the colored parts). Then, gently slide the whole thing up towards the top of the mouse and the last part will pop right off as well! Side note: these were the parts that were really, really sticky, so I don't actually have to take the screws out and wash/clean the inside, just brought the colored parts to the sink and scrubbed away without fear! But I might go ahead and do this mod on one (I have two), just to see how it looks.
