EVGA x17 Scroll Wheel Replacement

Introduction

If your EVGA x17 gaming mouse wheel doesn’t seem to register any movement, use this guide to replace the scroll wheel.

A scroll wheel is usually made of hard plastic with a rubber cover and located in between the left and right mouse clickers. A scroll wheel is intended for scrolling on a device. An unresponsive scroll wheel may be caused by a faulty USB port or incorrect mouse settings. Please refer to the troubleshooting page to explore the alternatives. This issue could also be caused by a build up of dirt or dust.
