Introdução

If your Keychron M1 mouse is experiencing scroll wheel issues—such as inconsistent scrolling, sticking, squeaking, or no response—this guide can help. These problems are commonly caused by dust buildup, normal wear, or a faulty scroll wheel encoder.

In this guide, you’ll open the mouse to access the scroll wheel and encoder so they can be cleaned, adjusted, or reseated. You can also use this guide if you need to replace the scroll wheel.

The repair is beginner-friendly and requires only a few simple steps, making it a good introduction to mouse repair even if you’re new to fixing electronics.

Be sure the mouse is off before you begin this repair.
