Help in fixing Ajazz AJ159 Apex Scroll Wheel
So my Ajazz AJ159 Apex scroll wheel started acting weird a few weeks ago. At first it would randomly delay, skip, or scroll the opposite direction sometimes. I thought maybe dust or debris got inside, so I tried cleaning it and blowing air into the wheel area. It kinda helped for a bit, but now the scroll wheel is basically completely dead after only around 6 months of use which honestly sucks.
I’m thinking the rotary encoder probably died, but I’ve never repaired a mouse before so I’m not sure what encoder is compatible with this mouse or what size/spec I should buy. I also saw some encoders with dust covers and was wondering if those are better for long term use.
Has anyone here repaired an AJ159 Apex before or know what encoder fits it? Any recommended brands/models to buy? Also would appreciate any tips for soldering/replacing it since this would be my first time trying to fix a mouse.
Thanks.
