So really this is just a funny story and that is why I'm posting it here.

Few weeks ago I noticed my scroll wheel was acting up but I could not tell if it was chrome or my mouse, but I finally figured out that it was my mouse because every time I made a jarring movement in a video game my weapons would switch. So I went back to chrome, lifted my mouse off my desk a foot and shook it, while shaking, I was able to scroll from the top of the screen to the bottom, to take out the factor of the laser picking something up, I covered it with tape and it still happened.

So after 5 years of hard work, my Corsair M90s life is finally coming to a end.

The worst part about this, I just upgraded my computer and have no budget to get another high end mouse. looks like im going back to cheap plastic mouses for a little bit.

Try to open the mouse usually it's dirt and some cleaning fixes it.

Yeah, one my old mouse had a scroll wheel problem too.

Now I'm back to an old Microsoft mouse, which now has some scroll wheel issues too..
