UNBELIEVABLE!! This works brilliantly…. having spent days looking up settings trying to fix an unresponsive mouse wheel this finally solved my dilemma!
Found it works best if you turn the mouse upside down and rub frimly and rapidly on the clean pages of a notebook for a minute or two a single sheet of paper on top didn’t work for me!!

Much thanks for this help- absolute Gold

I turned it upside down and rubbed very hard for a long time and little bits of dirt kept coming out. Now I have a downward scroll too!!

thanks

It didn’t work for me. I accidently popped off the rim, and I am cleaning out the whole thing before I seal it again. I only did this so I wouldn’t have to risk breaking it unscrewing the little screws that hold it.

Tried it… :( sadly my mouse wheel wouldn’t go up before trying this trick, but now it won’t go down either. Time for a new one I guess!! lol I’d still try this if I was someone looking for a quick fix. 1 fail out of 10 is good odds!

Thank you!!! I have been putting up with only an upward scroll for a couple of years. I tried with the paper on top first and it didn’t work, but after reading Yan’s post, I turned it upside down and rubbed very hard for a long time and little bits of dirt kept coming out. Now I have a downward scroll too!!

Thank you so much for this tip! I was ready to take my mouse apart because the scroll was completely unresponsive. I tried rubbing wet tissue paper, microfiber clothes, to no avail.

This paper thing really works! I just turned my mouse upside down and rubbed hard out on blank pages on my diary. Then bit by bit all the scrolling came to life!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
