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
So glad you found it useful, respect!

@@boxbiruhow did u do that emoji?
@EmanUg atfer i search for about 5 minutes, I can't find my emoji -_____-
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.
You're welcome. Thanks for the info, I know that vaseline is a lubricant although never occurred to me to use it in this application. Glad to know it worked out well for you.
I also used Vaseline and would have never thought of it if it weren't for this comment
@@cartmaneric1008 Appreciate the feedback Eric, and it's good to know it worked out well for you.
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.
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!
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 appreciate the kind words, I'm glad its working well now.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Thank you for the feedback, this will help others 🙏🏻
i dont have coconut oil only oil
@@OzVeroy you can use any oil, vaseline etc, just has to be greasy
you know if i can use soy oil?
Actually worked! Razer Viper Mini user here, though I had to watch a different teardown, the process is basically the same. Thanks!
Did it work for long? Is it an actual long term solution for you? I have the same issue but idk if i should bother buying wd40?
@@maccly3352 you probabaly bought a new mouse by now, but vegetable oils works like wd40
@@Vortex53306 Yeah I swapped to Steelseries Prime. Couldn't be arsed to deal with Viper. After a while of wd40 the problem was coming back. Such a shame nowadays they make pc mice so poorly. Even my new steelseries is not without issues out of the box :/
I'm amazed of this solution. Now my mouse works again as expected!
I'm glad it works for you again!
Corsair Scimitar (wired) owner here. WD40 works like a charm! I didn't even need to remove the scroll wheel for my mouse. I soaked a blue shop paper towel with WD40 and brushed the teal colored cog wheel that the scroll wheel is attached to, while rotating the scroll wheel to coat the whole cog wheel. As some other people have mentioned, using a proper silicone/grease would be more preferable than WD40 over the long run. Thanks Alwadii!
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!
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 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
same. I've watched many videos, but this one actually showed me that the part holding the scroll wheel is not as rigid as I thought, that it can safely be pried slightly to get the wheel out and in again.
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 fixed mine just opening it and blowing the dust out. this video still helped me figure out which part to focus on thanks.
Nice, job well done 👏🏻
i can't believe it, it actually works.
@@aldiauliaali5260 Thats great to know!
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.
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!
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
It worked a miracle! Saved me from a new mouse and boosted my fixer spirit! Thank you!
Ha, I was watching this with my mouse scrolling jumping all over. Mission accomplished, thanks!
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
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!
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!!
I have a razer viper mini and it have this problem can you tell me how can i open it thanks
@@abbreylifn7483 just take the screws on the bottom out. They might be hidden under the little pads, you will have to peel them off.
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
this general-use version of WD40 lubricates
Can I use cooking oil or electronics compressed gas usually used for computer lint and dust removal?
Wd40 eventually attracts dust/grime. It's been a while now I thought everyone would have stopped using it. Technically cleaner than maybe add silicone spray is the way. If cleaner works you should probably use rubbing alcohol. Can probably just pour some 90% down there an scroll it a few times without opening. Im not saying do that though. Contact cleaner can cause shorts can't it?
@@uliveulearnandregret hell no cooking oil. You trolling? I'd skip all this lube schitt. Very rarely did I see liquids near circuit boards. I'd be worried about shorts.
It is a short time lubricant. But you're right, that's not its purpose.
Brilliant solution - was driving me crazy - works really well - thank you!
Your welcome.
I'm delighted to hear that you have it back working well, craze no more!
Does it still working or begins to glitch? After a year.
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
Glad to know that you were able to save some money, and yes, i didn't think about that but it's a good idea to apply a drop or two on the screwdriver to help with the precise application, thanks for the feedback 🙏🏻
thank you from the bottom of my heart
I had a different mouse but the WD-40 worked. Thanks.
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.
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
i know this comment was made a long time ago but i had a simmilair issue the peice of plastic that went into that gear thingy on the scroll wheel broke off so i had to do a wheel transplant with a diffrent broken mouse i found
pal, this is magic. for so long it frustrated me. now i found the solution, thank you!
Gald to hear it works like magic!
Your welcome mate.
I can't believe that was such an easy fix. Thank you very much for this! I save a Logitech mouse.
Thank you for this. I have saved a money for buying a new one.
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 :))
Glad to hear you found an alternative solution, enjoy!
OMG, it works! almost bought a new mouse because I thought it could not be fixed, saved me $50! Thank You!
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.
I used few drops of clipper's oil instead of WD40, and it worked like a charm 🙂
Thank You❤
the wheel has been driving me crazy man. thanks to you it works normally again!!
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
Worked for me. Thank you!
Bravo! Thank you for instructions, Sir! Worked like a charm!
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
I'm so glad to hear that it works
@@mralwadii7275
Thank you, although it's intimidating to open the mouse and mess with what's inside you really helped me on this one!
Tried it on my Steel series mouse
Totally works!
Saved my day
Works like a charm, why did i never thought of just throwing "magic potion" onto the scroll :D
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.
Great work you did, happy to hear it's back to normal!
I have the same exact mouse with same problem. This really helped fixing it. Thanks a lot!
Unbelievable. Thank you. You just saved me from buying/keeping/not returning this new one....now where did I put that receipt?
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!
Broooo!!!! We love you brooo. Kudos to you brother. Saved me from buying mouse again and again.
Thank you very much, it's very useful.
Fixed mine with this. You are a life saver!! I wish I didn't threw my old mouse with the same issue.
it works!! Thank you for sharing this tip! I used a specialist contact cleaner though which is non conductive and had to spray it it 2-3 times and test again until the scroll went smoothly
Worked perfectly.
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 ~
I've never tried WD-40 Dry Lube, I'll give it a try sometime.
Thank you for the feedback 🙏🏻
didn't do any effort since june.. now i did what i had to do following these steps and works perfectly!
Thank you Alwadii! Appreciate this video :)
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
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.
Cleaning the wheel.This method definatly works.
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
This worked! Can't thank you enough. Mouse wheel now feels like new.
Thanks for posting, you've just saved me buying a new mouse.
Thank you soo much! It drove me crazy.
You are most welcome!
I appreciate your video, I did it a few minutes ago with oregano oil and a clip to apply ,it works perfectly.
Serbian!
Mnogo ti hvala!
Uspeo sam!
Taj problem me izludeo.
Thank you sooo much!
It worked!
I almost went crazy about it.
Thank u soo much I just repaired my Corsair mouse with this method. U are hero!
Totally worked. I had started looking for a new mouse and now I don't need to! Thank you a lot
Thank you for saving me from loosing my temper. BTW I used Petrolium gel as I do not have wd40 at the moment.
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
You my friend are a lifesaver. I was about to throw it away! Thank you!
Thank you for the tip, works perfectly now....amazing
Gotta remember to do this periodically. Thank you so much!
Thanks! I used coconut oil and it worked like a charm! I hope it stays like this fora while
you're a life and money saver man! thanks for this!
You're most welcome, gald it helped.
Thank you! Worked perfectly for my Rainbow 680
Glad to hear that it works perfectly!
Hell yeah this worked for the mouse I'm currently using rn
I didn't have WD instead used few drops of coconut oil, it solved the issue. Thanks !!!
I don't know why it woks, but it does!!! Thanks dude, you saved my mouse and my money
I had my doubts as how this would work but Worked like magic with WD50.. thanks Soooo much.
I have this problem right now, thanks for this video.
Thank you!! Fixed it and it works better than ever!!
Takes a bit to work, but after the oil the more I scroll the better it works. Great!
Yeah that's true, I'm glad it works!
Works like a charm, saved me 60$ + a trip to the tech store
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..
Thanks! Got it working with chain lube
Super vidéo ! I sprayed Electronic contactor cleaner instead of Wd40. It works like a charm now !
tape the shaft for a tighter fit in the scroll mouse encoder or WD40 on the scroll mouse encoder hole.
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.
Yes that's a great tip, I'll keep it in mind for next time, thanks 🙏🏻
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 💯
Thanks, so glad to hear that it works!
Really easy and works like a charm. Thank you very much!!!!
You're welcome.
Glad to know that it worked out well and was easyto follow.
Great stuff. Instantly felt like that repair guy meme after doing this quick fix. Scroller works perfect now.
Thank you soo much brother
because of lockdown shops are close
but all thanks to you i save some money as well
You're welcome brother.
Glad it was helpful.
it's only been 5 minutes of use post lubing but it seems to have fixed my issue! Save me spending another $150! Thanks
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.
