Removing Wobble from Quality Mouse Wheels through Superior Bearing Usage
A computer day-to-day grind ain't what our brains are designed for - we're here to chase rabbits, not waste time on the keyboard. Anything that makes the computing life a tad more enjoyable, hey, it's worth the hustle. And this high-end wireless scroll wheel? Totally worth it.
If this device looks familiar, it's because we've seen it before - Engineer Bo's inaugural take on it was back in late 2024. That version was a serious labor of love, delivering high-resolution scrolling with a premium feel, but Bo wasn't fully satisfied. There were a few issues, such as making the power switch user-friendly and extending battery life. The main worry, though? You guessed it - the wobbly scroll wheel.
Bo's initial approach to the wobble? A larger diameter bearing under the scroll wheel. Worked, but at the expense of the satisfying spinner action of the original wheel. Different bearings yielded similar results until Bo found the golden ticket: a large-diameter ceramic bearing that eliminated the wobble while supplying the tactile flywheel feel.
The larger bearing gave more space inside for the revamped PCB and a lower-profile, machined aluminum wheel. Bo also made a polycarbonate wheel, looks great on its own but would be even cooler with internal LEDs (alas, that’d eat up battery life). He's also got plans for a wooden wheel, which we're excitedly waiting on.
Despite the search results revealing info on other products like the MSI VERSA 500 WIRELESS 8K, Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical mouse, and HP 425 Wireless Bluetooth Mouse, there's no mention of Engineer Bo's latest work in those. If you're interested in a specific device, let's dive deeper for details.
This new high-end wireless scroll wheel, engineered by Bo, is a refinement of his previous gadget from late 2024, designed to deliver a premium technology experience without compromising on performance or user-friendliness. The latest iteration boasts a larger diameter ceramic bearing that eliminates the wobble, while maintaining the satisfying spinner action, a revamped PCB, and a lower-profile, machined aluminum wheel.
