Abstract
A user-repairable mouse for an information handling system comprising a board-to-board connector comprising a sensor printed circuit board (PCB) connector first side bridged to a mouse main PCB connector and a user-replaceable mouse bottom cover having a user-replaceable mouse scroll wheel and scroll wheel encoder operatively coupled to the mouse main PCB having a mouse controller. The user-replaceable mouse bottom cover has a replaceable mouse sensor aperture to receive a user-replaceable mouse sensor assembly that includes an optical sensor operatively coupled to a sensor PCB and an optical sensor lens, wherein the sensor PCB includes sensor board side connector contacts for removable coupling to a first side of a sensor PCB connector on the board-to-board connector, and a user-replaceable mouse top cover operatively coupled with the user-replaceable mouse bottom cover.
