i think something's up with my scroll wheel because if I scroll slowly the wheel moves but there are no bumps and it doesn't register
if i scroll quickly (doing it up and down right now) it works fine
i remember reading before I bought it that the scroll wheels were bad
has anyone else had this type of issue before and is there any way to fix it, or do I need to buy a new mouse?

i have something just like this with my fk1, if i scroll slowly the page im scrolling on will go down very briefly then jump back to the position that it was previously in

highperi have something just like this with my fk1, if i scroll slowly the page im scrolling on will go down very briefly then jump back to the position that it was previously in
for me its just that if i scroll slowly it doesnt register at all so the page stays where it is, but if i go quickly it will scroll normally

I have this exact problem with my G303. If I slowly scroll down a webpage it barely registers.

it's a known issue for a lot of mice, but afaik it's not possibly to fix it.
seems to happen only with optical encoders so there's probably a logical explanation. (logitech and zowie use optical encoders.)
you could buy a mouse with a mechanical encoder. for example razer use them in most of their mice (although cheap ones).
it might be possible to solder in a mechanical encoder into your zowie mouse, but i dunno how feasible that is

My ec2 is the same, but if i put alittle more pressure down on it while scrolling it works fine.

While Zowie wheels aren't that good in general the problem with slow wheel turns not registering is due to the optical wheel encoders, like Bucake already said. It's inherent in the design. That being said, you have to scroll extremely slow for that effect to come into play. Is this just theoretical or do you actually scroll that slow?

I don't normally scroll that slow but I did today and was startled and thought that something inside of the mouse was broken but it looks like its just the optical encoder.
It's a shame cause I have an old deathadder lying around but i dont like the shape of it as much as the zowie, wish I could just morph the two into one and take the good scroll wheel from the da and put it on the za11. Thanks for the help

Yeesh, this is the first time I've heard anyone refer to the DA as having a good scroll wheel. :P
I just want to put a good sensor in my Sensei, dammit. Come on Steelseries, get with the times, you bastards!

the wheel of the earliest DA version (3g) isn't too bad.
as for sensei shape with a good sensor, maybe something like this?

DreamMachines is also working on a mouse with the 3360 sensor. if it looks anything like one of their earlier mice, you might be interested

Hey, I really appreciate the information, Bucake. I've actually looked into the Dream Machines mouse, but the recurring theme that ends up being the deal-breaker is that they've removed the buttons from the right side of the mouse, so my left-handed self is out of luck. :(
