Any way to free up the Microsoft Wireless mouse wheel?
The Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 is easy to disassemble, but nothing I do will unstick the wheel. The rubber wheel spins on a drum-like encoder machanism, and it is not turning freely. This is the fate of all my microsoft wheel mice after about a year of use. I can spray a silcone lube on the drum but this only works for few minutes, then the wheel starts to stick again. I've cleaned all the visible dirt out, and doused it with a lot of isopropyl to no avail. Suggestions? I am interested in salvaging this device, not buying a new one.
