Problem with my mouse wheel

[Alan]

I'm having a problem with my mouse wheel. Sometimes when scrolling the page it would sometimes shift up and down after releasing the wheel. Sometimes it will jump all on it's own accord when just moving the mouse. Happens in Bioshock as well. Haven't been playing any other games though.

Sounds as if your mouse needs cleaning.

If it's too icky a task for you, then purchase another one.

Mouse needs training - get a cat

Next time buy a cheaper mouse, they last longer

The scroll wheel thingy also uses an optical mechanism, and there might be some dust in the optical sensors causing wibbling and wobbling.

First time I've heard about a scroll wheel wibbling and wobbling though.

Or it might be faulty.

I recall once a some dust getting on the main opitical censor a the mouse went nuts every once and a while. Fixced that though. So yeah probably the some thing now with the wheel. Problem is how to get rid of any dust. I've tried shaking it, moving the wheel repeatedly. Still nothing.

Move the mouse cord away from speakers and cellphones.

Seriously.

Looks like I'm going to have to disassemble it

Took it apart cleaned out the fluff and now it works 100% thankfully
