How to Fix Mouse Scroll Wheel in Less than 3min ! 👀 

Thank you. It worked like a charm for me. This had been so frustrating. I especially like the tip to mask the rest of the device with a tissue. In my 50+ years of doing DIY (reluctantly) I had never run across this advice, and I can see how useful it would be in other situations.

i use a wired mouse but followed the same steps but instead of putting WD40, i gently apply Vaseline Petroleum Jelly and it worked like a charm. Thank you for this tutorial.

I fixed two broken mice using this method. If I wouldn't have lost my temper and threw one against the wall, I would have had three. 'Preciate it my brotha

DUUUUDEE THIS WAS INTANT, very well done and good job on helping soo many people fixing their stuff instead of buying new ones, thanks again!

Thank you so much for this fix! I tried everything and have been dealing with this issue for over a year now. I even completely took it apart and cleaned it and it still didn't work. I was skeptical, but this worked immediately! I almost bought another one too. Thanks!

This worked for me on my Steel Series WoW Cataclysm Mouse. I had to find the screws first and then spent a good hour cleaning out years of hair and fuzz out of the sensor. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the video. My mouse was so bad, it was absolutely pointless to even try to scroll. if it worked, it went in the wrong direction. All it took was a little oil on the small wheelie thing, works like a charm now! Awesome stuff!

Actually worked! Razer Viper Mini user here, though I had to watch a different teardown, the process is basically the same. Thanks!

I tried this method and came back just to say that this really worked. Never thought this would help. You just saved me $30. Thanks brother.

Great video. Easy to understand and see while being short enough for my limited attention span. Did this with my mouse and worked great. A+

I was going crazy trying to clean the scroll wheel instead of the mechanism beside it like you showed. Thank you for the tip, works perfectly now!

MY DUDE! It's actually working! I've seen this before, but I thought it wouldn't work and I just spread the WD without opening the mouse. Now some months latter your video and the comments encouraged me to open it, thanks!

Your video is short and to the point. I've fixed my mouse, It was scrolling so bad I couldn't take it anymore. Thank you.

I have suffered for months with a jumpy scroll, watched this vid but used an AIR DUSTER spray instead. FANTASTIC, mouse is like new. Thanks Mr Alwadii

Those who are not having the grease / lubricants and can't buy due to lockdown, try using a small quantity of a coconut oil, it worked for me very well.

Common misconception: WD40 is a solvent, not a lubricant. It may act to dissolve any fatty residue on the mouse wheel which was causing the sensor to misfire. It will not lubricate the mouse wheel though. As long as it fixes the issue then this is a fine method

I'm amazed of this solution. Now my mouse works again as expected!

It worked a miracle! Saved me from a new mouse and boosted my fixer spirit! Thank you!

I can't believe it was this simple. I have a Starlight 12 TenZ edition and it's had the "phantom" scrolling problem ever since I got it. I RMA'd it back to Final Mouse and they sent it back... problem still persisted. I even installed the latest firmware and that didn't help either. I was reading on Reddit that you shouldn't use WD40, and that Isopropyl alcohol is better. WD40 is all I had. Glad I tried it because it scrolls PERFECTLY now. Seriously, not a single incorrect scroll input. Thanks for this video you're a damn life-saver.

Before surgery, I tried this. My Corsair Ironclaw wheel was jumping the webpage erratically up and down. I turned the mouse upside-down, and gently but quickly rolled the wheel along the big mousepad about 15 times. I guess some stubborn dust got removed because it worked perfectly after that.

Thanks a lot!!! this saved me 40 bucks and a few days waiting time. Mine was a bit different in setup, nothing to take out, just the top that comes off. But thank you!! Have a nice 2024!

I couldn't actually remove the wheel, as it was fixed in place and not easily detachable, but I did clean the wheel with WD-40 and a bit of Vaseline using a Q-tip and my finger whilst rotating it so that the carriage it sits in would get the lubricant, and it worked fine. Many thanks. I've seen lots of websites and videos that didn't work, this did. Much appreciated!

Brilliant solution - was driving me crazy - works really well - thank you!

Thank you for this video!! I just tried this on an expensive Razer gaming mouse and it 100% fixed the scrolling problem. I was about to buy a new one, but this just saved me some cash!!

Perfect tutorial! I substituted a drop of oil on my finger tip for the WD40, and my mouse is as good as new. Thank you for the excellent video!

While this video itself didn't really help exactly as intended since my mouse apparently has optical scroll. I did notice the optical sensor was crooked so i bent it back straight and now it seems to work better than it ever has. So while this didn't help me it prompted me to take apart my mouse and fix it. But i am grateful for you pointing out it was a hardware issue and not software issue as i originally thought! Thank you :D

This worked a treat, thanks!! The only difference for my mouse was there was a lip on the front lid and two screws hidden under soft pads on the front, and the wheel couldn't easily be removed so I left it in place whilst spaying the lubricant.

But mine when i try to scroll down with the wheel scroll it doesn't work , it doesn't go up or down its just quiet and i tried other videos but it didn't work

I used few drops of clipper's oil instead of WD40, and it worked like a charm 🙂 Thank You❤

This is it, easiest way to fix a mouse's scrolling issue I tried and it worked I didn't have to wait a week for razer to fix it for me. Thank you so much this was so helpful

Tried it on my Steel series mouse Totally works! Saved my day

Bravo! Thank you for instructions, Sir! Worked like a charm!

worked very well for my G102 mouse. i opened it and cleaned some dust off then added some WD spray. now it feels like a brand new mouse

After much searching, this solution right here did the trick on my Steelseries Sensei Ten. WD-40 worked like a charm. Very satisfying. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the tip! I really didn't think it was going to work, but it did. I fixed my Microsoft wireless mouse 3500. I used a lot more WD-40 than you did. I really blasted it a number of times! When I reassembled the mouse, I also put just a tiny bit of white lithium grease on the axle-shaft supports, since the original factory grease was old and gunky.

I already bought new mouse and have a courage to fix the broken one and i did it and it FIXED, Thank you so much!

I need to comment that this video saved my budget corsair mouse. It didn't take long daily driving and gaming on my Corsair Katar Pro XT mouse for it to develop this jumping/skipping issue. Had a small battle with Corsair RMA department about replacing the mouse at zero cost to me (shipping included) they agreed. Within a few weeks the new mouse developed the same problem. Well, I'm certainly not having the same conversation with the RMA department so I tired this method and it has been a legit 6 months and ZERO skipping from my scroll wheel. I do however suggest to spray the WD40 into a bottle cap and use a micro swab (from Amazon) to drip the WD40 inside the encoder.

Serbian! Mnogo ti hvala! Uspeo sam! Taj problem me izludeo. Thank you sooo much! It worked! I almost went crazy about it.

Cheers, got a new mouse a few month ago then this started happening, was driving me nuts, opened it up and it had hairs around the wheel, removed them added a bit of vaseline for lube and its all good! Much appreciated good ser.

i couldnt actually open my mouse , but i used the same spray he used and sprayed it near the scrool wheel on the mouse and its working perfectttt thanku u soo much :))

just tried this today... works like Magic!! you just saved me 40 bucks! thanks brother!!

thank you from the bottom of my heart

OMG, it works! almost bought a new mouse because I thought it could not be fixed, saved me $50! Thank You!

Thanks to you for this video. Your video helped me in cleaning my mouse and the mouse is working like charm.

I can't believe I just found this after ordering a mouse encoder online ughh, it still hasn't came so I tried this instead and it worked! Thanks bro!!

I was literally on the shopping website about to buy one and then came across your page'cause I was gonna replace my£6 mouse that I've had for years - I think now this will go another six years after your fix thanks very much

you're a genius thank you for save me some money note: you add a drop on the tip of screwdriver and use it as a more precise application

I logged in just to say THANK YOU. I just love my mouse and I don't feel like changing it with another trashy one. I had this mouse for so long. I can't just let go of it like that. Thank you again

Unbelievable. Thank you. You just saved me from buying/keeping/not returning this new one....now where did I put that receipt?

Gotta remember to do this periodically. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! It worked like a charm on my Xiaomi wireless Mi Silent Mouse. It's even working better than its original state. If I knew this trick before, I would prevent loosing so many mouses for that only problem.

Tip: Try a dry lube spray like WD-40 DRY LUBE, it will lubricate much better and prevent build-up in the future because it will not attract dirt & dust like oil based products... It's recommended to test on the specific type of plastic you're lubing first ~

Fixed mine with this. You are a life saver!! I wish I didn't threw my old mouse with the same issue.

Thank you, although it's intimidating to open the mouse and mess with what's inside you really helped me on this one!

Thanks, it worked for me! I allready ordered a new mouse before i saw your video 😁

the wheel has been driving me crazy man. thanks to you it works normally again!!

you're a life and money saver man! thanks for this!

I have the same exact mouse with same problem. This really helped fixing it. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! I used coconut oil and it worked like a charm! I hope it stays like this fora while

thanks for this solution, worked really well, man! i didn't even have to take the scroll out, just move it around and click back in. but the amount of dust and cat hair that collected inside of the mouse over the years- crazy :O finally, i can scroll internet in normal way, oooff it's so relaxing now

I just used my Bike's chain cleaner and Chain lube... It's working good for now... Thanks!! Will update if it gives problem again! You're a legend

Super vidéo ! I sprayed Electronic contactor cleaner instead of Wd40. It works like a charm now !

Thank u soo much I just repaired my Corsair mouse with this method. U are hero!

I had my doubts as how this would work but Worked like magic with WD50.. thanks Soooo much.

You my friend are a lifesaver. I was about to throw it away! Thank you!

I have a Technet SKU:M003 cordless mouse which was jumping and I took it apart eventually, as there were two hidden screws under the front feet. It turns out that the jumping was due to a loose rubber tyre on the scroll wheel and it was slipping, a couple of spots of glue under the tyre fixed it!

I appreciate your video, I did it a few minutes ago with oregano oil and a clip to apply ,it works perfectly.

Ha, I was watching this with my mouse scrolling jumping all over. Mission accomplished, thanks!

Really easy and works like a charm. Thank you very much!!!!

I had a different mouse but the WD-40 worked. Thanks.

Thank you for this idea ! Well ... sprayed WD40 through the gaps around scroll wheel using the fine tube that comes with the can (without opening the mouse ... because my mouse screws seem to be hidden behind the footpads ... did not want to removing them cause they will not fix back as good as they were originally ). It worked !

Thank you soo much! It drove me crazy.

Thanks bro. Your video really helps. Go right to the point for solution! Kudos to you.

Totally worked. I had started looking for a new mouse and now I don't need to! Thank you a lot

This worked! Can't thank you enough. Mouse wheel now feels like new.

Thank you soo much brother because of lockdown shops are close but all thanks to you i save some money as well

That was great tip. If you have the time and means: don't use regular WD-40. Buy some dry oil-free contact spray / electronic cleaning spray.

Broooo!!!! We love you brooo. Kudos to you brother. Saved me from buying mouse again and again.

You are a lifesaver! I had allready dismounted it and cleaned the best I could, but the real trick is the WD40, insta-fixed it! Thanks

I give this a 9/10... there are some occurrence of jumping but not that bad like it was before... thanks! Im using cheap logitech wireless silent mouse

Thanks a lot...it worked...i kept mouse a side an year ago on scroll issue..today i fixed scroll prob with ur vid...

I didn't have WD instead used few drops of coconut oil, it solved the issue. Thanks !!!

This works... My mouse was acting weird and i was about to throw this.. But i watched this video and followed same. And guess what !!! it worked. Thank you..

Takes a bit to work, but after the oil the more I scroll the better it works. Great!

Salamat pre! It really works! Just needed a lot more WD40 spray but it works better than the other methods such as using tissue to jam it between the rod.

This actually works very good, didn't have the oil spray so just put one drop of CBD oil (lol) inside the hole and worked perfectly!!!! There are still some very occasional jumps but thats completely fine, I was desperate, thanks for this man!

Im mad at how easy this method and how effective it is! thax mate

Works like a charm, why did i never thought of just throwing "magic potion" onto the scroll :D

I can't believe that was such an easy fix. Thank you very much for this! I save a Logitech mouse.

Thanks for this tutorial, the music is a vibe by the way 💛🌸

Great stuff. Instantly felt like that repair guy meme after doing this quick fix. Scroller works perfect now.

I was about to throw my mouse into the bin.. until i saw your vid. Works like a charm now, thanks so much! You're awesome 💯

Thank you very much, i was thinking i would need to replace the sensor thingy but so far the WD40 seems to have done the trick, thanks for a short and informative video! 👍

Thank you! Worked perfectly for my Rainbow 680

Thank you for the tip, works perfectly now....amazing

Thank you for saving me from loosing my temper. BTW I used Petrolium gel as I do not have wd40 at the moment.

Thank you so much! I couldn't remove the scroll wheel in mine (Titanwolf Gaming mouse), but I used the tissue paper trick with a WD40 equivalent and now it works like a charm :)

Wow! Worked 100%. Just awesome! Thanks so much.

Thank you very much, it's very useful.

Works like a charm! Thank you!
