Most scroll wheels use an optical sensor inside the housing to monitor the motion of the wheel. If you got paint inside the housing then it can confuse the sensor.

Question: did you take off the top of the mouse to paint it, or at least tape off any areas that needed to be protected like the scroll wheel and the bottom sensor?

I remember that post from slazer2au… https://lemmy.world/post/19338754

When we talk about 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz the devices don’t operate at exactly that frequency, but within a band more or less on that number. For example 5 GHz is actually a set of channels between 5150 and 5895 MHz.

Why isn’t there a 3Ghz, 3.5Ghz, 4Ghz, etc?

Technically there’s 802.11y (3.65 GHz), 802.11j (4.9-5.0 GHz), etc. It’s just that several of these bands cannot be used universally across the globe, because they may be reserved for other purposes. By and the bands that end up being used are ones that don’t require licensing to operate.

Wankpanzer is also pretty good.
