I've been using this mouse for five years now, and recently the scrolling has become extremely sticky and broken, especially scrolling down. It's impossible to scroll the page down more than a few "sections" because the input keeps jumping back (in the video below I'm only scrolling down, not up).

I want to try and clean it inside, but I don't see any screws on the thing. Can it even be fixed? If not, what are some good cheap non-gaming mice with side buttons?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

screw(s) must be behind the sticker or mouse feets. It can be fixed temporarily by cleaning with Isopropyl alcohol or sticking a small piece of paper (folded) inside the hole where the scroll wheel is fitted (this lasts a bit more).

The paper method works quite well. It can last for almost one year before you need to replace the paper.
