I have this issue as well. Looks like Corsair maintains that there is nothing wrong with the mice - this from another post about the issue on these forums. The following reddit link shows some users seeing good results from opening the mouse and applying some form of grease to the wheel. Good luck; this will void your warranty but does seem to work. I'll be trying this today and will be happy to report back here after some hours of use.

This is not an isolated incident and it is still happening to your customers. I am experiencing this issue as well. A quick search of your community shows, at least, several threads on the matter and the following reddit post is just one of many where other users experience the same issue. A workaround is even suggested in this post but it requires opening the mouse. You may want to forward this on to engineering so this can be resolved. EDIT: I should add that this will very likely void your warranty, for any users out there that want to try this.

I use linux only and would appreciate Corsair opening the APIs, completely, to the community. Right now I use CKB-next just to get my scimitar RGB elite to move my mouse pointer more than a pitifully small distance before needing to lift and repeat the movement. I don't care about RGB, at all, but I do like the feel of the scimitar, so I'd like it to be well-supported under linux. The mouse wheel sucks and requires the user to open it and apply grease/lubricant so it won't freak out and scroll wherever it wants to when engaged, but I can handle that bit of maintenance, I guess. I also use a K55 Pro Lite RGB keyboard. Again, not interested in light shows but back-lighting, in general, is nice to have. I've purchased three similar keyboards in the past year. Linux support would be nice even it comes from a community leveraging access to the complete APIs. Anyway, +1 from me. I use Pop_OS! LTS releases if that matters.
