Desoldering is definitely the hard part and I’m not experienced enough to tell you exactly how to do it, but what helped me was adding a tiny bit of leaded solder to loosen up the existing solder on the mouse. That made it way easier to wick up.
Thanks, I appreciate the tip! I will give that a try next time (maybe I’ll do this Xtrfy mouse soon). I also got solder braid and a flux pen to help too, in addition to the solder sucker I was using before.
