I had a similar problem. Although the rubber wheel wasn't slipping, the scrolling action was random. Following this guide I was able to take the mouse apart, clean everything up and, on reassembly, it's working properly again. There's one point I'd like to make: when you've removed the circuit board, there's nothing holding the on-off switch in place, so don't lose it - I nearly did!
Glad you got it fixed :)
Had the same problem with the exact same model. Following these instructions, it took me ~10 minutes + the drying time of the superglue to fix it. Thanks!
Welcome!
Thanks, I had a similar problem: thanks to this video it was a two minutes fix! And now my mouse has a new life :)
You're a smart guy with great attention to detail. just a quick tip, you can wipe off superglue quickly before it dries with kitchen towel or when it dries to a white foam it sands off really easily. and also if you boil the rubber fitting in water it will shrink back to normal size.
+biscuitBrush thank you! And also thanks for the tips :)
Absolutely ,Thx for helping us My wheel was driving me Nut's I like the glue Idea! I hope I don't glue my finger to it LOL!
Glue and fingers don't mix well! :))
When you do a teardown of anything, it's always helpful to show the pcb and components. This is the only reason I watched this video, as I'm just looking for the microswitch package size -- the clicking noise is driving me bonkers. I'm sure others will definitely appreciate the effort you made though.
Will keep that in mind for future videos.
I was inspired by your efforts! I could not get my case off so I jammed a toothpick in the crack around the mouse wheel and it had all kinds of fuzz and dirt there around the wheel that I could pick out carefully without snapping the cover. Now my wheel works!
Glad you managed to fix it!
Awesome fix! I couldn't find super glue but had some double-sided tape that I cut to width and wrapped around. It did the trick. I was ready to go out and buy a new mouse but now it's working like new. Thanks a lot!
Welcome! Glad you fixed it :)
My man you are the best, my baby nephew dropped my mouse tonight and I thought I had to buy a new one. But I was lucky that the power cable thingy came lose, so all I did was put it back on it's place, thank you for this video!
Glad my video helped ✌🏼
And I thought it was because I smashed my mouse down when my screen froze, haha! :) thanks for this
LMAO SAME
Thank you for showing this. This is exactly what I need to do with a wired "Microsoft Comfort Mouse 4500", which is a damn good mouse. But, mine will let you scroll down easily, but it starts to not receive signals as you want to scroll up. Very frustrating. So, I sure hope that I can find the screws. Rest of the repair doesn't look that bad.
Hey, thank alot for this. I save my time especially at the screw part and solve the lagging problem.Thanks you!
Great! Welcome! :)
Bravo! Thank you so much!
Your video gave me the confidence to take apart my Tdagger mouse which had issues with the scroll wheel skipping up/down with the slightest touch. A q-tip & rubbing alcohol to clean the wheel mechanics did the trick! Thanks very much!
Thanks a lot. This method saved my mouse and keyboard set.
Welcome!
I have 2 of these units from Walmart since 2013 for $10 each. This video is great but I had to buy a smart phone repair kit that comes with torx bits. Just blew out the lint, works great now. Thank you!
Welcome! :)
Finding the hidden screws made all the difference. The wheel can be taken taken out without disassembling anything. Just lift out the left side carefully and it goes back in quite easily. The rubber tyre can be removed and refitted on the axle with a bit of rubber glue.
Thank you for that. It was exactly my problem.
Welcome!
Just fixed mine. bought 2 years ago, developed same problem. Thanks sir!
+Anurag Dongre welcome! :)
Thank you so much for that! Very clear and easy to follow. You've saved me a new mouse!
Thank you! My problem was hairs around the axis that carries the rotation to the chip. I used toothbrush and soap to clean the plastic cover.
Many thanks for this, I managed to glue the rubber wheel onto the inner one and wow, didn't realise how badly it had been for the past few months. Great video, great explanation.
Thank you, very helpful as I wasn't sure where the screws were.
Welcome!
really helpful video, it happens that am also a fan of this Microsoft 850 keyboard and mouse set too...
I bought a second set for work 🤭
@@UltimateDIY haha great for u, am waiting for mine to be delivered in 26 june, my current Logitech mouse is driving me crazy...
Thanks buddy! I just cleaned mine. Didn't use the glue though. It works better!
thanks for input, i was a bit doubtful about using glue
Thank you for this very useful video. I followed your instructions but the wheel scroll didn't still work. I found out that the problem, in my case, was with the little pin like end of the scroll wheel shaft assembly. This pin end of the assembly is inserted into the potentiometer hole so the when you turn the wheel, the pin end in turn turns the potentiometer. I found that the pin end on the shaft had worn out some causing the potentiometer wheel to slip. I solved this problem by dipping the pin end of the wheel shaft in some glue and inserting that into the bearing hole in the potentiometer. Since now the pin is glued on to the potentiometer, is no longer slips. See the picture at 10:38 minutes in the video above that shows the pin end on the shaft I am talking about. At 4:38 , you can see the potentiometer at the top of the wheel assembly.
Glad you got it solved!
ahaa - I never even thought of this - splendid! brilliant! Thank You.
Welcome!
Great video. I have a newer Microsoft mouse which has a different "rubber" tyre. It stretches beyond repair. I replaced it with a plumber's O-ring washer, super-glued in place like your suggestion. All is good! :-)
+Grunfeld thank you! Good job with the O-ring :D
thanks for this, my exact problem and now fixed, cheers
Welcome!
I had the same problem. Before you buy a star drive to take this apart consider trying what I did: take a cotton swab and dip both ends in alcohol. Gently lift the rubber on the wheel and slide a moistened swab underneath, between the rubber and the wheel it rests on. Release the rubber and slowly rotate the swab which then turns both the wheel and the rubber. After one cycle of that I reversed the swab so the unused tip was sandwiched between the rubber and the wheel and I held the swab in place while I pinched-pulled the rubber, forcing it over the swab and repeated until I made another full cycle. Mouse now works fine.
+csimring that is the first stage. The rubber will get looser over time and that will not be enough. But for some maybe it's enough for the time being.
Thanks man, wasnt sure about gluing it
Welcome :)
Great video, helped my fix my intellimouse with a sticking button. THANKS
+mattc941 welcome! :)
I had exactly the same problem. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the advice😊
Welcome!
Good Video fixed my problem! Thank You -👍👍👍👍
Welcome!
you are the best bro!!!
✌🏼
Thank you. I removed the rubber from wheel and cleaned with hand wash removing the grease. Home mad easy and mouse scrolling problem is fixed
I had the same problem of the scroll wheel not relaying commands: however the problem in mine wasn't the wheel itself but rather the small point which goes into the adjacent bracket. The ball point was no longer rotating the bracket it fits into - because that's the part which actually relays the scroll command. If that bracket doesn't rotate when you spin the wheel: it doesn't matter how well attached the rubber is to the wheel. So what I did was use a razor blade to cut a very very small sliver of rubber off of my mouse pad, lay that atop the hole which the mouse wheel's ball point fits into: then put in the ball point so the sliver of rubber would be wedged between the ball point and the bracket the ball point fits into. Now when I rotate the mouse wheel: it also spins the bracket that it fits into and thus sends the scroll commands properly.
So while my issue wasn't exactly the same as seen in this video: this video's instruction *did* point me in the correct direction in order to determine the actual problem and I was able to fix it. So thank you Ultimate DIY
- you saved me $50 on a new mouse.
That is awesome! Glad my video helped! :)
keep up good content , i enjoy watching those kinds of repair videos , theyre so satisfying
+Youssef DAK!NG CSGO & More will do! I never run out of stuff to repair :))
Thank you for watching!
Excellent video, cured the problem with my mouse.Thanks.
+John Beevers nice, welcome! :)
Hey, this got me through the same repair. Thanks heaps.
+deslightfly great! Welcome! :)
Somehow I don;t think glueing the rubber wheel was what fixed it. there's little or no slippage there. what probaly cured it was cleaning the fine end of the spindle, the part that goes in to the potentiometer. Clean that up, simply by wiping it down with a cloth etc. (I used my fingers). put it all back together...all good. Anyway, thanks for showing how to take it apart.
In my case I could feel it slipping a lot. So for me glue was required. Maybe in your case it was a bit different.
Thank you for the video, it helped a lot!
Welcome!
mouse manufacturers are doing this on purpose. To force us to buy new mouse every year. My Dell mouse wheel started slipping in just 6 months. Same problem. Had to use super glue. Now works fine.
Sadly, it's the same thing with most products...
Me ayudó para reparar uno que me encontré olvidado por ahí. Muchas gracias!
Welcome!
Thanks so much, this worked for me
Welcome! :)
If your mouse scroll is squeezing clean right side of scroll (looking from front), this big black cilinder over third button.
Thx for video 😀
Welcome!
you"re helpful
thanks man
lmao my mouse had tons of garbage between its mechanics and the cover
so i took the cover out and cleaned it, but then the right clicker wont shut, im just 13 so i didnt know what to do
then i realized the place where the clicker goes is bent, so i bent it back with a toothpick
and thus i repaired a semi-broken mouse with a household item
i feel like a magician now XD
+Asriel Dreemurr you should feel good :)
You saved a few $, you learned somenthing new, you did not contribute to the waste our planet has to deal with and you might get a new hobby fixing stuff in the future.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained...Well done!
Thanks man! Very helpful video.
Welcome!
Thank you so much. I have the same model and the wheel was plenty of oil even I only use the mouse few times.
+Bob Báez welcome! :)
Very useful. Thank you very much !
Welcome!
you saved my life bro!!! well actually you saved my wallet!!! hahaha thank youuuuuu
+Alvaro Carrascosa :))) welcome! :)

Welcome!
thank you very much! :D
thank u bro
Welcome!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Good job 💯👍
Thanks!
Yeah I just got a new mouse. Cool new color, and it even came with a fresh battery.
And the point is? 🤷🏻♂️
worked perfectly, thanks
+Margo Henning perfect, welcome!
before taking anything apart, get a small bowl to hold all the parts.
Especially with kids in the room :))
Thanks.
It's bad engineering. it's not the oil, the soft rubber get loose with friction and heat.
Make sure to notice any switches or buttons so you won't lose them!
Probably you are right.
@@UltimateDIY planned obsolescence, such a simple fix.
True.
I just bit down on the rubber scroll part, pulled it a bit, fiddled, let it back down and my mouse scroll was working again. Then again, my mouse was thrown down by a younger sibling.
just tried it, broke 3 teeth
@@killtummy oh my- um.
Thanks
Welcome!
the problem is not the white rubber... problem is (tiny area which rollover again and again, it get slipped by using more)
problem is not the rubber and it will be fixed by glue.
Well, not really. Just think about it. The plastic does not change, but the rubber wears out and starts to slip. Obviously glue will make sure it can't slip again.
Using ankle ergonomic mouse. Wasn't easy to find the scree. Still figuring way to open it... Damn
Some are really tricky to open.
Thanks for your helpful tips. I appreciated it man. btw i bought a new one after doing it
Welcome! :)
Excelente funciona perfecto
Very helpful.
Thanks! :)
I don't have superglue at the moment, so i just wrap a small rubber band on the inner tube so the white rubber will have grip, it works
+rudilee that is good :)
Thanks, and btw i don't understand why on earth does microsoft design the scroll that way :P
+rudilee maybe it's designed to break after a certain period...
i need help my mouse scroll but has some problem it dosen't scroll up and down properly if i scroll up it scrolls down and if i scroll up it scrolls down please help immediatelly
Check for wheel slip.
@@UltimateDIY i didnt get you
Thanks! My problem was that the rubber on the wheel has moldered and so much gunk has accumulated on the inside of the wheel that the mouse no longer scrolled, the photodiode or transistor (I didn't check what it was actually) was constantly in the dark.
Welcome! Glad you solved it :)
before doing this check your 'mouse wheel scrolling' options on your pc and check.
Thanks, you saved me $20!
+RvaSyncDeveloper welcome! :)
26-12-2019 Just fixed my mouse thanks to you (..) Liked & Subscribed
Awesome! :)
Maybe the main problem is the central axle bearing is not turning freely.
If it did gluing may not be necessary ?
My mouse wheel is not turning easily, but not slipping.
For you it might be that. For me it wasn't.
@@UltimateDIY You're right, I found in mine the central light pillar had come loose and was jamming the wheel.
It working fine now thanks.
Perfect!
Can you help me? My rii wireless mouse works and moves and can middle click but scrolling does not work
Well...follow the advice in the video.
Thank you :)
Welcome!
My problem is the scroll always has a random direction. And i fix it after clean the axis of rotation. Thanks!
Great, welcome! :)
I love you i ve done it successfully
Awesome!
Thanks man :)
Welcome! :)
Thank you I can fixing the mouse
Welcome!
Got loads of mice (?) with scroll wheel problems in a drawer.
Now they have a chance 👍🏼
@@UltimateDIY Yeah thanks. Where are you from? You are a patient man!
Romania 🇷🇴
I have a problem, my mouse had 2 screws on the back but I can't find more and it doesnt's opens. Is there any other place where it could be screwed? (its rechargable so the battery place is not an option)
So you took off all the low friction pads and there are no more screws? Maybe you just have some strong clips then.
i took it apart and it was snapped in half. its not working at all now
The scroll wheel was snapped? Sad to hear that.
Show, com essa dica o meu funcionou também, tinha muito pelo de gato.
Glad you got it fixed.
I have Ranz company bluetooth mouse. Scroll is loose. I watch your video. I tried to open. And this mouse doesn't have any screws to open. Please can you tell me. How to open and fix Ranz bluetooth mouse
Screws can be sometimes hidden under the slip pads from the corners.
maam up si ke liye kon si book le
Finally same mouse as mine
:)
I love you 😘❤️
:))
thanks a lot :D
+Nestor Fiori welcome :)
شكرا
Welcome! :)
can you do one for onn mouse
I don't have such a mouse.
I have a mouse, and when i scroll it won't scroll on my computer... And i wanna fix it but i dont wanna break my mouse (not wireless )
Most likely it's the same problem presented in this video.
In my opinion your mouse is already broken, but if you really do not know how to do this kind of repairs, then maybe it's better to have someone else fix it for you.
i have a ligitech mouse and i think i broke the weel because it dosent stop
Probably it has the same problem.
Muito Obrigado
+Dymas Grave welcome!
where you can buy a roller
I don't think you can buy parts for a mouse.
There is no screwdriver small enough for my screws in my house:(
Shopping time.
@@UltimateDIY I'm 13, no job I def can afford a screwdriver
guys if you want to fix your scroll mouse i will recommend punch in the bottom in your mouse it take couple of tries
LoL
Does it work with a wire
Yes, it's the same thing.
