I noticed that my mouse wheel when scrolling up would sometimes scroll down instead (and vice versa). I figured it’s probably because there is some dirt and grime inside the mouse wheel casing that’s somehow interfering with the sensor.

How can I clean it without taking the mouse apart? I guess I could fill it with some isopropyl alcohol and wait a bit to shake it out or something but I don’t know how well that would work and I don’t want to make it worse obviously.

Does anyone have a better idea maybe? It’s a Logitech G703 Lightspeed

    Get a good no residue contact cleaner. Unplug the mouse, then spray in the sides of the wheel opening and then work the wheel like a clitoris in a porno. Repeat a couple times. Give it time to dry then test it.

      Instructions unclear, I can’t find my mouse wheel anymore…

      Hmm… Slapping my dick against my mouse didn’t seem to help

      If you’re getting a good response, for god’s sake do not stop what you’re doing. Keep going with the same motion
