Question Mousewheel Scrolling Faster than Normal at Random

[SwissxPiplup]

Hi there,

I've been experiencing an issue recently where my scrolling will skip more lines than I've set in the mouse options, currently it's set to scroll 3 lines each notch of the wheel, but sometimes and at random it will start to scroll more lines each notch.

Any ideas?

My mouse is the Steelseries Rival600, using Steelseries Engine 3.

Thank you.

Dust inside the mouse wheel may disturb the optical censor and therefore clutter about mouse wheel rolling. Try to use a vacuum cleaner (very carefully, nozzle with brush should be the safer choice).

Or - try it on another computer (with no drivers installed) and see if it behaves the same way. If yes, then it is the mouse itself - aka dust in wheel.
If not - driver software may be the culprit.
