Most scroll wheels go to shit after a couple years to be fair. It’s like the single most common failure point for every mouse ever.
Finding a mouse that has a scroll wheel that lasts longer than 3 years with out quirks is a rarity. That or you don’t use your scroll wheel very much.
If your option is tell the truth or be a “bummer” then your only being an ass by lying to save others from reality.
Shit sucks but it never gets better if we hide reality away and never speak of it.
It only takes one right person to be bummed out to start a cascade effect that might create meaningful change. Never murder hope before it has a chance to even be born. Even if that means being a “bummer”.
