Buy a cheap mouse and take the mouse wheel out of that and put it into your new mouse. look up a guide on how to replace a mouse wheel.

 

although its probably better to just buy a whole new mouse

 The Wannabe is no longer. Replaced by the Flotilla. If you replace every part of a computer is it still the same computer?

I wonce fixed a mouse with a broken wheel with superglue, but middle click is alot more fragile after you do that

For how long do you've got the mouse?

If it's less than 2 years you should be able to just RMA it. (at least if you're from Europe, European law says you've always got 2 years of warranty even if the company/store says you don't.)

Well I'm in Canada so unfortunately I might  just gonna get a new mouse.
