Same man. I have broken two separate scroll wheels on two completely different mice within 4 months. I don't see a problem with reinforcing the scroll wheels, it like the only thing that could break on them. Just making the hexagonal piece metal would solve all of the breakage issues.
The mice I broke the scroll wheels on are:
Corsair Ironclaw RGB
Corsair M65
I really don't want to send my mouse in, because then, well, I wouldn't have a mouse for a little bit.
