Mouse wheel scroll problem fix.

[@IshrathNawaz-b2s]

This man deserves an award! What a simple and brilliant 5 minute hack that saved me time and money.... Simply outstanding!!!

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped.

[@madalinalogofatu]

OMG, cannot believe it actually worked. I was just about to give up and start looking for a new wireless mouse because opening up the mouse and cleaning all the lint inside did not fix the problem. Had some plumber's tape on hand and used it as in the video, and now the scroll wheel works. Thanks a lot!

[@Your-Self]

Good to hear it!

[@UniverseChild777]

Teflon tape worked perfect. Was considering throwing the mouse away but this was super helpful! Thank you!

[@lennymustarde4965]

Excellent. Worked perfectly using Microporous Surgical Tape out of the first aid box. Great to have the scroll wheel back in action.

[@Your-Self]

Good to hear it!

[@ghanshyammishra6740]

when it started working ahaa moments for user

[@stevenbernstein1978]

Brilliant! I repaired my Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 using PTFE plumber's tape. The center mouse wheel lost its scrolling grip years ago and now it works! I was so close to shopping for a new one! Gotta love YT for these brilliant hacks! Thanks!

[@Your-Self]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TXenoT]

Sitting here high af at midnight with that problem. Now i sit here crying from your help. Thanks man!

[@GencayErdoğmuş]

using tape around the shaft is a great solution. it worked perfectly. thank you so much.

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped

[@hadiulbasharalvi2280]

Thanks man, it works! In my case, I've used micropore as I didn't have the thread type. The key is, you need to make the shaft thicker to reduce the gap between the shaft and rotating wheel in my opinion.

[@Cianuro01]

Thank you so much for the solution! I've been struggling with the mouse wheel for a while and couldn't find a fix. I guess, at least in my case, the plastic must have worn down over time, which is why it became too thin to make proper contact.

[@Your-Self]

Great to hear!

[@waburden]

Thank you Sir! The cogwheel not moving was the issue and the critical clue to my fix! Yaaay! I found it easier to layer a small square over the cogwheel hole and push the shaft through rather than trying to attached the tape to the shaft (not much shaft to work with).

[@Your-Self]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Wallie759]

Thank you so much for this video. ive been struggling with my mouse for a while and your humble and to the point video was the answer i needed. thank you so so much

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped!

[@KenFullman]

I had a slightly more extreme problem. The shaft of the wheel had snapped where it enters the encoder. I was able to retrieve the tiny nub that was still in the encoder. I then pushed a hot needle down the centre of the nub and into the shaft of the wheel. I then dusted the joint with bicarbonate of soda and put a few drips of superglue onto it. After allowing it to set completely (about 10 minutes) I then cut off the excess needle (that was still sticking out), reassembled and it works.

[@Your-Self]

Thanks for sharing.

[@kafuvolim9729]

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly with the Teflon tape on a wireless mouse (Hama AM-7300) 😊

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped!

[@ricardohincapie1537]

Thanks because your video encouraged me to try and fix my mouse insted of discard it. In my case, a wireless Genius, the encoder was rolling smooth, nothing seemed to be malfunctioning, so I decided to use a Wahl oil (yes, the electric hair clipper) on it, and it started working again from almost being unusable. Afterwards, I removed the excesss of oil and got back to work :)

[@Your-Self]

Good to hear it!

[@mira8950]

ty for your video :P you also help me selffix my 20$ mouse

[@Steventhefounder]

Really helpful, i couldn't find Wahl oil tho, so I used cooking oil, and it still worked fine. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@nestorlarez336]

The tiny shaft of the wheel is hexagonal shape, and fixs in the hex hole, but with the use, the plastic cornes get round so the tape trick works fine, thanks!

[@Your-Self]

Cool, thanks!

[@Tasos521]

If every product have a KZbin tip for malfunctions the world wide waste will be reduced by half !! well done !!! In click switches wd40 works perfect but for wheel malfunction your solution was genius.

[@Your-Self]

Thanks for watching.

[@CerpinTaxtt]

thankfully I found that white tape laying around in the house, worked like a charm, thanks a ton

[@Your-Self]

Good to hear it!

[@QuintonKettleburgh]

Turns out mine didn't even need the tape, it just needed 5 years' worth of dust and hair removed🤣

[@CosmosMint]

Thank you! The final fix worked! Increase the shaft size worked for me! 🥰

[@Your-Self]

Excellent!

[@Zeltesh]

Well, I at first just cleaned it and that worked for that particular mouse as it had some hair + dust all over the scroll wheel. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial and let us save some money from buying a new mouse :D hope you have a lovely day! ❤

[@Your-Self]

Thanks for watching!

[@spiinniing]

Fixed my mouse wheel perfectly with the plumber tape which I had at hand. Thanks!🎉

[@Your-Self]

Good to hear!

[@arunp8212]

Thanks for the video. It helped to find the root cause of the issue. Tape didn't work properly. So, I used thread instead and my mouse working perfectly now.

[@Your-Self]

Thanks for sharing

[@vladibalan]

This is the solution that worked for me. New Hama mouse started having scroll problems after 1 week of heavy use. I guess germans don't make things like they used to...

[@damonfikes9797]

Thx.... basically what I did though instead of that because it didn't work as well kept slipping anyway was cut the tape about the size of the hole or a little bigger, basically a square, layed that over top of the hole where the wheel goes in, then attached to push the wheel through it.......works perfect 👌

[@Your-Self]

Thanks for sharing!

[@PhoenixRising233]

great idea. wish I would have read this before I fixed mine.

[@tamara-amir]

Your technique was perfect. Thank you.

[@Your-Self]

How do you take of and put back the rubber feet ?

Not sure. The feet could be glued or just inserted. You could try a small screwdriver to prime them off.

[@Your-Self]

Excellent!

[@807800]

Thank you for this!. Now, I'm feeling effing dumb for not thinking about that before. I mean, it's clear the scroll wheel was losing friction, duh!. But, I'm just using a little piece of tissue, and it works again!.

I got my mouse wheel fixed thanks to this video! I cleaned it first (there were a lot of cat hair in it lol) and tried different tapes but my mouse wheel had different kind of nub at the end so tapes just didn´t work, but I but a little dab of hot glue and let it dry and that did the trick!

[@Your-Self]

I was thinking of trying the hot glue myself ))) Thanks for sharing!

Threw it in the bin, after 40 minutes of trying to get the top part of the case back on enough was enough. I'd love to speak to the engineers of some of these products and ask them what they are thinking.

What if the green mini wheel spins but it still doesn't scroll? Like it only goes sometimes. And usually I kinda fixed it, then I scroll for flawlessly for 5 seconds and then it is busted again. Edit: Okay, I had to fix the green mini wheel casing. Glad I didn't break my mouse and fixed it. Thanks for your video.

[@SL4PSH0CK]

my days of trying to fix my Razer Viper mini leads to cleaning dust from the wheel, to noticing the lack of resistant of the scroll wheel and ended w/ the same treatment. it seems like the wheel shaft being dislodged case the wheel to slip and lose contact why the scroll jumps back and forth. cool!

Thank you!!! It worked for my HP wireless mouse!😃😃

oh god it worked! thank you so much!

[@Your-Self]

Glad it helped!

[@ksdragona_5583]

Went to try this on an Onn. mouse, but there are no visible screws on the bottom. The feet are plastic, and peeling back the corner damages the plastic, so I'm not sure if there are screws to remove underneath, meaning this fix might not be possible on models like this. Granted, the mouse itself costs about $12 these days, but I'm more annoyed by the disposal requirements of electronics than the costs of a new one.

My little wheel thing is spinning, but nothing is happening.

[@jamessiagian8124]

Thank you very much. It works 😁

[@Your-Self]

Welcome 👍

[@MustangBoss1973]

Why not just super glue the wheel to the rotary encoder eliminating the chance of slip?

[@Your-Self]

When you click on the wheel, it should have unrestricted movement up and down. So I suppose, a flexible (silicone-type) glue may work. But not the super glue.

[@MustangBoss1973]

@@Your-Self micro switch is normally the other side and just a tilt movement, the axle mounts allowing for this.

[@samshekhawat8852]

definately helped me thanks a lot

[@Your-Self]

Glad to hear that!

[@michaelhastie9729]

In recently bought a “Logitech M189” wireless mouse to replace my old one as the “scroll wheel” stopped working. Everything on it worked okay, except for when I tried to type text, even in the “Search box “it wouldn’t show. Has this happened to anyone, if so, how did you fix it?

[@SANS-pm5de]

in my case the mouse wheel rotates backwards from its direction and because of that the wheel doesn't work properly, can this method also fix it ?

[@SL4PSH0CK]

yeah if it jumps try it, sometimes 8 out of 10 the mouse wheel shaft gets dislodged or its material wears and the surface lose contact , so tape works

[@vathirus7880]

Thank you, it such a pain when come to scroll button mouse broken 😮‍💨

Great video man

Hey! im 12 years old and im looking foward if you know a little more info for this. Because when i did the tape method all it did was turn the tape around adn the plastic thing that makes your spin wheel work didnt move. PLEASE HELP 🙏
