Hi, The scroll wheel on my mouse has suddenly started to give a jerky action to the scrolling on the screen. There is a delay between moving the wheel, and the action on the screen. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what has happened please?.

    Fluff/gunk gumming up the roller inside the mouse ..... needs a good clean (if you can get into it).

    I know it sounds obvious, but have you tried a different USB port?

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.
