I love the scroll wheel on my logitech mice…. but sadly some of the ones i got have a noisy clicky scroll wheel. This guide mainly applys to the Logitech Optical Scroll Mouse (OEM model).. but should work with most logitech mice… Opening instrutions will be different but the wheel assembly is the same.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage incurred by the following of this guide.

A. Get the tools:

• Philips Jewelers Screwdrivers (your mouse may need different size)
• Needle-nose pliers (more…)
