Make your mouse scroll wheel move like butter

Hate that stiff, clicky wheel on your mouse? Give your mouse wheel a super slick, butter smooth spinning action in 10 minutes.

Since every mouse is different, this hack is mainly about the idea. If you can operate a tiny screwdriver, you should be able to do this whichever way your mouse is put together.

Tools:
1 computer mouse
1 #00 Phillips head screwdriver (small)
1 X-Acto or utility knife


I am going to do this with both a Logitech USB Mouse and an HP Wireless Elite Desktop Mouse.

Step 1 Find how to open it

Most mice use a combination of click-together and screw attachments.  To find any screws, look for screws under pads, stickers, and behind the batteries.  

Under pads: using an exacto top, carefully pry these up and keep in a safe place to reattach later.
Behind stickers: rub your philips head screwdriver over the sticker looking for indentations.  These indentations may be a sign of a hidden screw.

The logitech was simple: one screw and the whole thing came apart.  The HP will take some tricky moves...
