Introduction

A Logitech G Pro Superlight starts scrolling by itself. Not only does it become unusable but also extremely frustrating to the user. There may be problems like dust trapped inside, blocking the sensor from registering. It is very important to get this fixed because the scroll wheel is an important aspect of the mouse. Whether browsing or gaming it gives user many purposes of using it. This guide provides a solution by replacing the malfunctioning scroll wheel with a new one.

Caution: Turn off the mouse and disconnect the USB dongle connected to the PC before starting this guide.

Thanks for publishing this!
Do you replace only plastic part of wheel or plastic wheel + PCB?
Where do you order new wheel?

I don't think the soft black part is separable for the original wheel. Ordered an 'original' (or mostly original đŸ™‚) wheel at one famous giant Chinese marketplace for 6 USD, item id 1005006217893341 - couldn't find any difference

Thanks for the guide. Didn't need a new scroll wheel, but the disassembly guide was great.

Thanks for the guide. Some steps are not necessary if your purpose is just to change the wheel
