ZeroCable Assembly & Installation
__________
Thank you for purchasing a ZeroCable from MouseOne.
This booklet guides you through the quick and easy assembly and installation of your
ZeroCable.
We suggest you buy replacement mouse skates, as sometimes trying to remove and then later
reapply them fails.
If you have any questions or issues with assembly or installation, email us at: [email protected]
If you’d like us to add a mouse to our list email us at: [email protected]

Assembling your ZeroCable
With your purchase we’ve included a ZeroCable, some heat-shrink and a couple of JST 5-pin connectors.
In this section we’ll arrange and assemble these parts so that the cable is ready to be installed on your
mouse.
Step 1 - Thread the ZeroCable through the 2 black heat-shrinks and the 1 clear heat-shrink. Do
not heat them up yet.
Step 2 - Grab one of the JST 5-pin connectors and orient it so
that the completely solid side is facing down and the side with
holes in it is facing up.
Step 3 - On the next page starts the database of all the mice ZeroCable is compatible with. Find
your mouse and note the order of the colors.
Step 4 - One by one insert the colored wires into their designated spots in the JST connector as
specified by the database. The “nothing” signifies that no wire should be inserted in that spot.
The small “hook” on the wires should be facing up when trying to insert them into the JST
connector.
Example:
Mouse: Zowie FK2
Order: nothing black green white red
Assembling your ZeroCable on a mouse
that isn’t in the Mouse Database
If your mouse is not listed in the Mouse Database on page 4, use this guide to attempt to install
ZeroCable on your mouse. We can not guarantee that you will be able to install ZeroCable on every
mouse.
With your purchase we’ve included a ZeroCable, some heat-shrink and a couple of JST 5-pin connectors.
In this section we’ll arrange and assemble these parts so that the cable is ready to be installed on your
mouse.
Step 1 - Thread the ZeroCable through the 2 black heat-shrinks and the 1 clear heat-shrink. Do
not heat them up yet.
Step 2 - Grab one of the JST 5-pin connectors and
orient it so that the completely solid side is facing
down and the side with holes in it is facing up.
Step 3 - Now, take apart the mouse you want to install the ZeroCable on. Remove the original
mouse cable and note the color order of the cables. Make sure the completely solid side of the
original connector is facing down and the side with holes in it is facing up.
Step 4 - The original connector will have 5 wires attached
while our ZeroCable has just 4. The fifth cable is known as a
shield cable. It is black and thicker than the rest of the wires
connected to the JST connector. When noting the color order
of the wires of the original cable, put the shield cable down
as “nothing”. No wire will be connected in the corresponding
spot on the new connector
Step 5 - One by one insert the colored wires into their designated spots in the JST connector as
specified by the color order and placement of the old connector. As a reminder, the “nothing”
signifies that no wire should be inserted in that spot. The small “hook” on the wires should be
facing up when trying to insert them into the JST connector.

Installing your ZeroCable
Now that you’ve assembled your ZeroCable, it’s time for installation.
Step 1 - Use a hairdryer to loosen the feet of your mouse. Remove the feet.
Step 2 - Unscrew the screws located (generally) underneath where the mouse feet used to be
and remove the top of the mouse.
Step 3 - Remove the original cable from the PCB (the electronic board in your mouse).
Step 4 - Using a hair dryer or lighter heat up one of the black heat-shrinks halfway covering the
paracord material and halfway covering the wires.
Step 5 - Plug the ZeroCable into the PCB (where you removed the old cable)
Step 6 - Line up the second black heat-shrink to be ¼ in the mouse shell and ¾ outside of it
when the shell is closed. Heat the heat-shrink with a lighter or hairdryer.
Step 7 - Line up the clear heat-shrink on top of the black heat-shrink from the previous step.
Position the clear heat-shrink right at the edge (the edge closest to the mouse) of the black
heat-shrink. Heat the heat-shrink with a lighter or hairdryer.
Step 8 - Reassemble your mouse.
Switching your ZeroCable from One Mouse
to Another
Switching your ZeroCable to another mouse is simple. Follow the directions on page 6 to
remove the ZeroCable from the first mouse. Use a small flathead screwdriver to lift up each tab
on the JST 5-pin connector. Carefully remove each wire from the connector. Then, follow the
directions on page 2 to rearrange the wires to the specifications listed in the database. Now
just plug the ZeroCable into the new mouse and reassemble it according to the directions on
page 6.
