Remove the Ratcheting on the Click Wheel of a Mouse

Have an old mouse lying around? Want to stop the even clicking of the mouse? How about taking out the ratcheting mechanism out.  I found that it is just a little spring to be removed and then lubricating the wheel.

you will need just two simple parts to complete this.

a mouse
graphite

first unscrew the mouse.  The case should pop apart fairly easily.

now we will take out the spring.  this is pushing into bumps along the inside of the wheel and causing uniform clicks.

We will need to use graphite to make it spin freely. take your graphite and graphite on both sides of the axles. now spin it and add a little more. do this until it spins freely.

We now need to put the mouse back together.  click the wheel back into its hole, and put the cover back on
