Good day!
Not so long ago, my working computer mouse began to "surprise" me: when I scrolled the wheel, the page being viewed began to jump and twitch (not always moving up or down). Honestly, with such management, it became uncomfortable for her to work and she had to do something (in fact, this is what today's article will be about).
By the way, if something like this is happening with your mouse, then how alternative scroll wheel you can use:
- key space or Shift + space ;
- keys PgUP , PgDn (they are next to the digital block);
- scroll bar (as a rule, there is a vertical one on all web pages).
Of course, these are temporary measures.
Now about the more permanent ...

Solutions...
❶
Cleaning the mouse
If your mouse is not too old, then the likely reason for this behavior of the wheel could be dust, small hairs and other debris that accidentally fell on it. To get rid of them, try simply blowing the wheel hole hard. Then scroll through it and repeat the purge (by the way, for this it is very convenient to use cans with compressed air (sold in any computer store)).
Disassembled mouse ...
Of course, it is even better to disassemble the mouse, wipe the areas with dust and debris with cotton swabs dipped in alcohol. It is recommended to remove the wheel when cleaning (note: such a simple cleaning method helped in my case, the mouse is already alive for the third year (though I don’t play various shooters and shooting games, and therefore the load on it is not so big ..) .😉)).
❷
A few words about batteries
If you have a wireless mouse, then pay attention to the batteries. If they sat down and do not provide sufficient power, the mouse may start to malfunction: the left (right) buttons do not always work, the wheel is often "lost", etc.
By the way, in some cases, the batteries can oxidize (for example, with low quality of these or high humidity on your desktop).
Battery oxidation
If this happened, then some of the conductive elements could become unusable, and, most likely, the easiest option would be to buy a new mouse.

❸
Try to diagnose from Windows
Windows has a troubleshooting wizard that can automatically fix a number of software glitches and errors. To run it, you need to enter the Windows Control Panel and open the tab:
Control Panel \ Hardware and Sound \ Devices and Printers
After select the device "USB input device" and click on it with the right mouse button - in the menu that appears, select Troubleshooting .
Devices and Printers - Mouse
Next, Windows will automatically check the operation of the mouse, try to detect and fix typical problems (see the screenshot below).
Diagnostics (as an example)
❹
Check mouse settings (including touchpad)
If Windows doesn't find anything, I would recommend opening the Control Panel again and see what is there with the mouse settings.
Note: in the control panel, to find the mouse settings, use the search bar in the top menu, on the right. See screenshot below.
Change mouse settings
Then open the section with the wheel and change the value of scrolling the lines (by default, it is usually set to "3", which is not enough for some mice and various "inconveniences" may appear when scrolling the wheel ...).

By the way, if you are working on a laptop, then the unstable scrolling of the page can be caused by the simultaneous operation of the mouse with the touchpad.It is recommended to try disabling the touchpad (in addition, this will prevent accidental contact with the palm of the touchpad surface during operation).

❺
Check the drivers (try removing the device and reinstalling)
The problem with drivers often arises with various fancy and gaming mice (which have additional buttons and functions). In this case, the best option would be to install a driver from the device manufacturer.

But in many cases, a simple removal of the device (mouse) helps in order for Windows to automatically reinstall the driver. To do this, you first need to go to device Manager (if you have Windows 10 - just right-click on the START menu, see the screen below).

Then find the device "HID-compliant mouse" and remove it.
HID Compliant Mouse
After removing this device, your mouse will stop working. To start the driver installation: reconnect the mouse to the USB port, and then in the device manager select the name of your PC and press the combination Shift + F10 -> "Update hardware configuration". The mouse will be installed automatically.

❻
Damage and wear of the mechanism of the wheel elements
If all of the above does not help, there is a high probability of wear on the mechanism of the wheel elements. Much here, of course, depends on the manufacturer of your mouse, its workmanship.
Anyway, repairing a mouse will cost more than a new one 👌. Therefore, the most reasonable option is to purchase a new one. By the way, in Chinese online stores you can find mice at very affordable prices - from 150 rubles. (take several pieces at once with a margin ?!).
