   The year is 2024 and the humanity still can't invent a computer mouse the wheel of which doesn't scroll into opposite direction for a fraction of the second after a few years of usage.

     Even after cleaning it?
     My G401 and G402 only do it when the wheel gets dirty internally.

     @lauralt Mine's G403, but before that I had some A4Tech mouse which did the same and cleaning did nothing to it. Anyway, the G403 is in prtty rough shape as well (the rubberized grips started melting so I had to tear them off), so I just bit the bullet and bought some new chink mouse (lsusb detects it as "SINOWEALTH Wired Gaming Mouse" :xi2:).

     >some new chink mouse
     Some of these ubranded chink peripherals can be extremely durable.
     None of my chink unbranded mech keyboards ever malfunctioned while all the brand named ones I bought before (costing 2x-4x as much) always broke down after a couple of years, pokers especially.
