| I recently bought a new mouse (around 3 months ago), it's a logitech M171. For the first month, it worked perfectly. Since then, the scroll fucks up over and over again. I don't really know how to explain what's wrong, so bear with me. When I press the scroll, it could randomly jerk upwards or downwards as if I had scrolled instead and scrolling would be negatively read at times (scroll up > it goes down, scroll down > it goes up). Can this be fixed without buying a new one? |

Aww.. Coz i have the same problem with windows 10 and my mouse is brand new. I think it's because the CPU is overloading that's why the mouse is "active" like this. It affects the performance.. |

| Have you tried using your mouse on a different PC/laptop? If it works fine on others, then your mouse is not too blame. You could try re-installing the drivers. Also, most Logitech mice have separate programs that allows people to adjust their mouse settings. Take a look on their site and see if they have any programs available for your mouse. |

| To me it sounds as if that logitech mouse is not really suited to your hand, resp. your handling the mouse is not how logitech expects it / not perfect enough. Did you change sth. ? New mousepad, different default positioning you/hand/mouse ? Atm. I still have this microsoft mouse where for the scroll to work as a button, my "press" movement has to be within a rather narrow "direction" margin (vocabulary?) AND the mouse may not move in the slightest while I do so. That is not alsways easy - my hands are big, the mouse glides very easily, and depending on the mouse's / my hand's position/ my low attention - it may happen that the mouse moves a tiny bit while I press the button - and then happens pretty much what you described : scroll lock, which then results in unwanted behaviour. How exactly that unwanted bahaviour is I guess depends on settings in the mouse driver/ mouse-customising software. And I guess "mouse gestures" may interfere here or there - I would not know, I disabled those since I only screwed up with them. Try what happens with mouse-gestures disabled. PS - at least for this microsoft mouse here, UNinstsalling the extra software for it and just going with the windows mouse drivers / settings dialogues for me worked out better. (windows 7) |

| *darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.* |
| Go buy yourself a Red Dragon gaming mouse. They're super duper cheap and the build quality is outstanding. Logitechs always let me down. |
| Mouses are bad. Try to research into a good one and get that. No need to stick with trash. |
