How do you get back off to change batteries without breaking all of your nails or even worse?
There are several Apple wireless mice. We'd need to know which one. But I know what you mean. I have the "Magic Mouse". Sometimes as soon as I press down on the lock the bottom plate falls on its own, other times it seems to be a struggle. But a downward press should release it.

Obviously, mine didn't fall off, broke most of my nails on one hand and used a butter knife that didn't end to well either. But I did get the back off and no ER visit. Ridiculous! Not impressed at all.

Like I said, the slide switch can be difficult sometimes. All I can suggest is to use something softer like a new pencil not sharpened to a point instead of a butter knife.

Individual mice will have individual faults but in general I find that holding the mouse upside down and flicking the black rectangle with my middle finger nail removes the back. It doesn't need strength, just a little practice.
