I am to the point where my next mouse will probably not be Corsair, my scroll wheel has failed on my harpoon, glaive and now my iron claw. I did the nail trick on my glaive and it only partially worked.
If you don't have a 3d printer, you can use a small hex wrench to fix it. I just cut part of it off, heated it up with a soldering iron, then melted it through the center of the axle. It wasn't a perfect fit, so I put a bit of hot glue on it. It's worked perfectly like that for over a year. It's not visible at all and doesn't interfere with the LEDs.
I bought my kailh red microswitches on ebay. I also tried the firmware thing and that only worked for less than 2 weeks. The omron switches are just bad and they all fail eventually.
Thank you so much! Found your video when just looking for help disassembling my mouse to see if I could fix the middle button click issue - lo and behold, you give me the way to fix it! Soaked in isoprop and worked the button - now working perfectly!
I bought a 3D printed wheel from you guys. I literally just installed it, and it works perfectly! Thank you guys for the tutorial and the replacement wheel!
Used this guide to fix my Iron claw mouse. the tip of the mouse wheel that engages the scroll broke off. Didn't have the option to 3D print. I have many 2mm Hex keys to spare. So I used a metal file to bring the 2mm hexkey down to 1.7mm Fits perfectly, I then used my drill to spin the hexkey and used a metal file to round the hex key. I drilled through the mouse wheel first with at 1.5mm drill bit, then a 2mm drill bit, slotted the hexkey through the middle, added some super glue and re-assembled the mouse! Problem solved! Thank you for this Guide!
@@mortimizer232 Just used this method with a filed down 2mm at one end and was able to press fit so no glue involved. I think 1.5 will be too small. Yes the tolerances are that tight and its tedious to get it to fit but mouse wheel is bullet proof now
Very helpful video. Fixed my scroll wheel using a 1/16th inch allen/hex key as I don't have a 3d printer. It fits perfectly into the encoder wheel. Had to drill through the plastic of the scroll wheel and then twist in the allen key and cut down to size with a grinder. I didn't have to heat up as it's a very tight fit. Saved $100 on a new mouse! Thanks.
Basicaclly everything on my mouse which was flawed/broken is now fixed...thanks guys! instead of replacing the whole wheel, I just bought an 1/16 inch allen wrench and drilled a hole through the original wheel. inserted it after heating it up and now its melted together like 1 part. Works like a charm! also the wheel-click is fixed by the alcohol. Many thanks again!
Great video. Typically ill go to deconstruction videos for the device I need to fix and 9 times out of ten they will tell you how to fix the issue you were having and low and behold you did thank you!! (PS it was the scroll wheel button with alcohol)
Thanks for this video, managed to fix my mouse wheel without printing anything but wouldn't have got the mouse apart and back together without causing more damage. 👍
Jesus Christ died on the CROSS FOR YOUR SINS REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND PRAY TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS GOD AND JESUS CHRIST LOVE YOU NEVER FORGET THIS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man! I respect you endlessly Thanks to you and your guide, I cleaned everything in 15 minutes and fixed the wheel sticking. Bottomless mug of beer for you
You saved me buying a new mouse because my battery needed replacement - thanks!!! Question: How important is the metal band, because after I assembled everything again I saw I forgot to put it back, but the mouse seems to work fine?
I'm so grateful that some people just take time to record the process of taking apart a mouse. I accidently dropped my mouse, which must have unclipped something on the inside when it hit the floor, shifting my right-click position and disabling it. Disassembling and reassembling the mouse properly fixed the issue (and allowed me to clean the inside a little bit). I couldn't have done it if it wasn't for this video, huge thanks!
Same mouse externally but wired instead, different inside and montage is way different so here a explanation for the wired ironclaw RGB: The screws are not on the bottom side, they are on the top. Gently with a thin blade or razorblade you can click off the top cap, it will reveal 4x a t3 (torque) screw. Those are not in very tight so if you do not have a t3 torque driver. Well I just used a watchmakers star screwdriver) once the 2nd top cap is off you have access to everything inside and can clean it like that. If you need to replace parts then you will see that all of the remaining screws that holes each side panel and electronic board together is fastened with a star screw. Its so well put together that one by one you can take it apart, or even leave a panel or board on if you only need to take of 1 part.
I just fixed mine with a small 1 inch nail that was part of some wire guide/clips I have, they may be from Christmas lights or some other electronics. It has a head just the right size to keep it from going all the way through the wheel post/holder. On the actual wheel, I drill it out with the smallest bit I have from the end that is already hollow. The nail was the perfect size to fix it and left no slack or play in it. This also seems much easier than using a hex wrench and probably even more durable than any of the other fixes I'm reading about.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I had a spare wheel from the first Ironclaw I bought and it saved me. Update: the spare wheel broke too, i regret choosing corsair.
My guy, you have saved me. Currently printing a new wheel as the original had decided the 2mm inside the scroll housing needed to come off the attachment. My kudos and my likes
Hi, i see you have one of those magnetic cable connectors in your mouse, can you show us how you modified to mouse to get it to fit because i am having trouble and i dont want to butcher my Ironclaw to get it in unless i have to. Thanks
This is very useful specially to those that are out of warranty. I'm on my 3rd RMA with Corsair's Ironclaw mouse because of the same reason: the axis that connects the scroll wheel with the encoder just breaks and the mouse start receiving scroll events.
Thanks for the tutorial, I ended up re-using the same wheel and glueing an allen key through. Works like a charm now and it will probably never break again.
Thanks for this tutorial. I managed to fix the scroll wheel on mine by applying Vaseline on the contact point. The problem on my mouse is that when I scroll down really fast, it inputs a scroll up occasionally. Disassembling was relatively easy as long as you have a torx and philips driver but reassembling was a huge pain in the ass.
Jesus Christ died on the CROSS FOR YOUR SINS REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND PRAY TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS GOD AND JESUS CHRIST LOVE YOU NEVER FORGET THIS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
this video literally saves my life whenever I drop my mouse. even all of the times I dismantle my mouse, I just can't memorize and always go back to this video. Thank you so much!
You are the fucking best. I mean that. The wheel broke for no apparent reason (i was just scrolling through the code I'm writing and suddenly it felt loose and it didn't scroll anymore). As I was looking online for a possible fix I found your video. 3d printed your thingy, cleaned it, installed it. less than 4h after breaking, it's as good as new! awesome. Your video is clear, concise, helpful. Thank you very much.
WOW - thx alot for this (dis)assembly video! My middle mouse button did not work anymore - spraying some contact cleaner (Reiniger 601 from Kontakt Chemie) onto the middle mouse button (the non-omron switch) did the trick for me. Thumbs up!
Had mine replaced under warranty once...and then the same thing happened just out of warranty. Took a rotary tool and finished snipping off the fragile tip on the wheel axel. Then, I used the large, hollow post as a guide with a tiny drill bit to create a proper hole for seating a new axel. Then, I took a junk 1/16 allen wrench that I had in the drawer, and used the rotary tool to create a small axel of the proper length. Tried just installing it in the wheel itself, but it was actually just a little bit too small to consistently turn the tiny wheel that controls scrolling. So, I removed it, got Gorilla super glue, dipped a sharped toothpick into it to have a very, very fine point with just the glue (because if you get any on the outside of the little orange wheel you're trying to turn, you're screwed), and coated the inside of the hex seating with it. Then, I carefully tapped in the metal hex bar from the outside toward the mouse wheel. The glue was enough to complete the gap, as well as some being on the tip to seat it in the mouse wheel itself. Once that had set up and seemed to be holding, then I very carefully repeated the dip-and-touch process with the toothpick in three locations on the axel against the orange wheel (being sure not to get any on the outer part of the turning surface). So far, it's working like a champ. Scrolling is smoother than when it was new. I've had good luck with this adhesive in the past, but only time will tell regarding longevity. But for now, this guy is repaired. And, I could pop it apart and touch it up with a couple of new dabs if for some reason it breaks loose over time. But knowing the strength of this stuff, that's doubtful. Cheap and simple, so long as you have a steady hand and are patient. But also...I'd like to smack the crap out of the guy who designed the interior of this mouse. It was clearly not done with maintenance in mind. This thing's a nightmare. Sheesh.
BTW Corair has a really nice customer service.. I lost the dongle, and got a replacement.. twice. So I recommend you try your luck, maybe they'll ship you out a new mouse or something.
Not necessarily the purpose of the video, but the teardown of this mouse in the video showing how all the outer shell parts fit on was super helpful in my endeavor to replace the outer shell of one of my Ironclaws. Thanks!
My cat knocked my Ironclaw off the desk the other day and both LMB and RMB wouldn't click. I figured something was unseated rather than broken, since both buttons had the same problem. Used this vid to take it apart and put it back together and it's working like new. Many thanks for saving me the cost of a new mouse!
After this video, i decided to can not change the battery for upgrade. There is no more enough space for much higher capacity lipo battery. 😭 Thank you bro
Hi Is there a mod to make my Corsair Nightsword scroll wheel free spin??? ....... i have always had Logitech mice and never knew it was a Logitech patent so i thought all mice did this. I love my new mouse but i can not live without a free spinning scroll wheel so unless i can fix it i will have to buy another mouse.
Great tutorial! Quick question, I notice you are using a magnetic plug to charge the mouse, what brand / how did you get it to work? I've tried a couple brands and they don't fit, when I've modified the bits with a Dremel they fit but charging is spotty at best
I had two of these, both broke. The first one after a couple of months, the other one after about a year. Any ACTUALLY durable mice out there in the market???
Hey mate, thanks for your video. My Ironclaw had the wheel not correctly responding. I gave a little of contact cleaner and for now looks good. Some tips you gave we essential for the process, specially for reassembly. cheers
I nearly bought this mouse today, but looking around I have seen no end of comments pertaining to mouse wheels and double click issues. It seems be an issue with not just the Ironclaw but all Corsair mouse products. In the end I put up the extra £10 for the Roccat Kone Aimo.
Thanks My cat through my mouse over the table and my right click button was kinda stuck i dissassambled just up to the right plastic exterior and were able to fix it thanks
Perfect! The middle click button on my Ironclaw recently went wonky (Still registering a click but only at a certain angle) and neded a vid for disassembly!
Thank you for the video, but I would not buy Corsair again, it is pricing itself with other top brands but it used all kinds bad parts and materials. I really liked their palm grip designs but ended up really disappointed by their practices.
I'm going to fix mine using the hexagonal 1.5mm bit fix but I just wanted to ask a question about the disassembly: Do you have to pop the circuit board out to take out the mouse wheel and to put it in again or is that just needed to make changes to the button?
i used to like corsair, but i had 2/2 mice so far break down within a couple months. (M65 and Ironclaw) with this Ironclaw it was one of the thumb buttons, then the wheel-click, and then the wheel itself (scrolling)
is there an option with a hole for a metal rod to be pushed through the shaft? something like the size of a sewing needle would be sufficient I believe
I had a similar problem with a Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB. The wheel, It's axle & the pin that fits into the blue/green spinny clicky thing that registers the wheel's motion is made of cheap plastic & is all one unit. The flattened edges which wore out, thus the free spin. A meticulously placed drop of crazy glue on the tip of the pin & placed with the utmost care into the spinny/clicky part that is attached to the sensor fixed it. It's done, should have recorded the process for demo, but it's fixed now, forever, so dismantling is not an option, lulz.
Wish this video was available when I tried repairing my mouse wheel :(. I didn't know it was such a weird assembly or I wouldn't have tried. Had the exact same issue a month after I bought my Ironclaw, didn't have the means to print my replacement mouse wheel and voided my warranty. I did repair other mice I had, including a Roccat Tyon, but this assembly is something else and the wheel design is so fragile almost made to be broken. I wouldn't have tried if I saw the issue before hand, but hindsight is 20-20 so... It sucks that this mouse was my favorite shape, but with such a problematic wheel I don't think I'll get another one.
Thank you so much! My scroll was broken since I bought it, I got lucky and it fixed when I took the roller off and cleaned it and put it back on, but i still needed ur full tear down since i had to get to the wheel only step I skipped was taking the board off with the ground screw. Reminded me of resetting my thermo coupler in my coffee maker.
my problem was that the scroll wheel tiny plastic hexagon at some point before I opened it from factory was not full seated in the scroll pot hex hole on the board causing it to reverse scroll or not even work at all, since it was in at a slant.
I saw someone said they stole the wheel from their Corsair Scimitar so I tried that and it worked! Just had to trim a bit off the Corsair Scimitar's mouse wheel right side!
i got a hex key cut to lenght, extended the hole through the wheel by drilling, applied some glue to the metal hex key, and then put it through the wheel :D so now that part is metal
My mouse is also broken, but I don’t know how to disassemble it. Fortunately, I found your video，thank you！！！ Then I found that you also used a magnetic charging cable, this is very convenient。 I'm sorry I don't know much English, so I can only use Google Translate
It really depends on the resin. I did have to replace mine one more time (elegoo abs-like) I bet if you used an engineering grade resin like formlabs or maybe matterhackers it could be? If you got it SLS printed I suspect it would be stronger
Hey man, awesome work on the wheel. What material do you recommend I get it printed in? I'm not the most experienced with 3D printing and I'm getting it done through a service. Thank you
Sorry for the delay! Check out shapeways! They offer SLA and SLS and should be able to make one for a reasonable price. I can't say I'm exactly familiar with what they would charge though
Unfortunately I do not have the resources to produce these. If you do not have a printer there are some great 3d printing services where you can send a file and they'll mail you the part! Check out shapeways. I suggest using SLA or SLS technologies!
Unfortunately I don't know where you can buy an OEM wheel. With that said hope is not lost! There are a number of print on demand services out there. Shapeways is a popular one worth checking out. Just make sure you order the print using either SLA or SLS material so it has high enough resolution!
@@SNRTechBytes You are not going to believe this one, i dropped my mouse and it landed on the scroll wheel and then one i got from you broke :( i will have to get another one lmao but the one i had was amazing, just couldn't survive the weight of the mouse from a 6ft drop lol

Upvote if you used this video to replace the omron micro switches with ones that don't suffer from double click
Yup thats me
Is that what is causing my double click? The switch? I found this video while trying to figure out what was causing that.
@@ukaszkucharz2784 2021 and still the same problem. Except i don't know where to buy mouse switches that work with this mouse.
for me it was a firmware issue. Went back to release firmware and is working flawlessly, can´t say the same for the scrollwheel
I bought my kailh red microswitches on ebay. I also tried the firmware thing and that only worked for less than 2 weeks. The omron switches are just bad and they all fail eventually.
just bought two now the wait......you have know idea how much you use your scroll wheel till its gone lol

Do you think this will also work with a standard 1.5mm hex key? I've seen someone else in the corsair forums solving it with that.
yes just got mine apart and this is the best repair option cheers
@@mortimizer232 Just used this method with a filed down 2mm at one end and was able to press fit so no glue involved. I think 1.5 will be too small. Yes the tolerances are that tight and its tedious to get it to fit but mouse wheel is bullet proof now
Thanks so much for the video and making the file available. Mine just broke hoping to have a new one printed today 😁 liked and subbed
Thank you so much for the stl! I am currently watching your video using my disassembled mouse while my wheel is printing!
Using an FDM printer works, like my Prusa, but the hexagon axle will be deformed. Printing it with 40% infill helps though.
Very helpful video. Fixed my scroll wheel using a 1/16th inch allen/hex key as I don't have a 3d printer. It fits perfectly into the encoder wheel.

if you dont have a 3d printer you can use a small washer directly on the right side of the scroll wheel
What's a "small washer"? I'd like to try.
Thank you, it acually helped for me!!

For such a tiny axle, I can't believe they didn't just make the wheel out of metal.
Thanks for the tutorial, I ended up re-using the same wheel and glueing an allen key through. Works like a charm now and it will probably never break again.
Great tutorial. The very same piece broke on mine but fixed it (temporarily) with some careful supergluing. Mouse is back working. Thanks heaps
I'm done with corsair gaming mice. The RAT Series is so much better.
Simple, easy, effective, thank you so much! I think I will not buy corsair again though.

i used to like corsair, but i had 2/2 mice so far break down within a couple months. (M65 and Ironclaw)
with this Ironclaw it was one of the thumb buttons, then the wheel-click, and then the wheel itself (scrolling)
is there an option with a hole for a metal rod to be pushed through the shaft? something like the size of a sewing needle would be sufficient I believe
Thank you sir. Right click has gotten mushy. Time to disect.
I had a similar problem with a Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB. The wheel, It's axle & the pin that fits into the blue/green spinny clicky thing that registers the wheel's motion is made of cheap plastic & is all one unit. The flattened edges which wore out, thus the free spin. A meticulously placed drop of crazy glue on the tip of the pin & placed with the utmost care into the spinny/clicky part that is attached to the sensor fixed it. It's done, should have recorded the process for demo, but it's fixed now, forever, so dismantling is not an option, lulz.
Any chance you guys can ship that scroll wheel to Canada?
Is the battery removable and can it be replaced with another brand?
It was very useful, thank you very much !
Wish this video was available when I tried repairing my mouse wheel :(. I didn't know it was such a weird assembly or I wouldn't have tried. Had the exact same issue a month after I bought my Ironclaw, didn't have the means to print my replacement mouse wheel and voided my warranty.
I did repair other mice I had, including a Roccat Tyon, but this assembly is something else and the wheel design is so fragile almost made to be broken.
I wouldn't have tried if I saw the issue before hand, but hindsight is 20-20 so...
It sucks that this mouse was my favorite shape, but with such a problematic wheel I don't think I'll get another one.
can you deliver to france?? i rly need this 3D printed wheel lmao
did you by any means remembered how many wires comes out of battery would be possible to put in bigger one inside
Any chance you could ship to the UK?
watching this with a broken scroll wheel
That was an awesome video! It's rare to find an instructional video on RUclips that works as easily as it is shown. Cheers!

@@peyton6466 no he didn't. Please buy a new keyboard too as your Caps Lock button seems to be broken 🤣
@@dannalboon it’s not broken and Jesus Christ died die on the CROSS FOR YOUR SINS
@@peyton6466 Prove he did.
@@dannalboon the Holy Bible is proof enough
You don't ship to Australia but I would like to try and fix my mouse ... Is the file available to 3d print my own ??
Yes! Check out our website. There’s a downloadable version!
Thank you so much! My scroll was broken since I bought it, I got lucky and it fixed when I took the roller off and cleaned it and put it back on, but i still needed ur full tear down since i had to get to the wheel only step I skipped was taking the board off with the ground screw. Reminded me of resetting my thermo coupler in my coffee maker.
my problem was that the scroll wheel tiny plastic hexagon at some point before I opened it from factory was not full seated in the scroll pot hex hole on the board causing it to reverse scroll or not even work at all, since it was in at a slant.
perfect, thanks!
Thanks a lot! I ended up inserting a mouse wheel from another mouse I had around. Coincidentally it used the same mechanism.
Back again. After 3 months the scroll wheel started acting up again because it slipped out of place. Once again, this video saved my ass. THANK YOU
My Iron Claw just stopped scolling! Sheesh!
I saw someone said they stole the wheel from their Corsair Scimitar so I tried that and it worked! Just had to trim a bit off the Corsair Scimitar's mouse wheel right side!
i got a hex key cut to lenght, extended the hole through the wheel by drilling, applied some glue to the metal hex key, and then put it through the wheel :D so now that part is metal
How were you able to do this exactly? Just be was this he shown with my M65 Elite.
Can you replace the battery of this mouse?
My mouse is also broken, but I don’t know how to disassemble it. Fortunately, I found your video，thank you！！！ Then I found that you also used a magnetic charging cable, this is very convenient。
I'm sorry I don't know much English, so I can only use Google Translate
Is the 3d printed piece (with resine) is going to be more durable than the orinal one ??
Thanks a lot for the helpful video :)
It really depends on the resin. I did have to replace mine one more time (elegoo abs-like) I bet if you used an engineering grade resin like formlabs or maybe matterhackers it could be? If you got it SLS printed I suspect it would be stronger
Thanks very much for this video!
Hey man, awesome work on the wheel. What material do you recommend I get it printed in? I'm not the most experienced with 3D printing and I'm getting it done through a service. Thank you
Sorry for the delay! Check out shapeways! They offer SLA and SLS and should be able to make one for a reasonable price. I can't say I'm exactly familiar with what they would charge though
can you sell those replacement mouse wheels?
Unfortunately I do not have the resources to produce these. If you do not have a printer there are some great 3d printing services where you can send a file and they'll mail you the part! Check out shapeways. I suggest using SLA or SLS technologies!
Do you have to rip the grips at the bottom?
Unfortunately yes. If you go slow and are careful you should be able to re-use the adhesive!

Thanks for the awesome video. Do you know where I can buy the wheel? I dont have a 3D printer.
Unfortunately I don't know where you can buy an OEM wheel. With that said hope is not lost! There are a number of print on demand services out there. Shapeways is a popular one worth checking out. Just make sure you order the print using either SLA or SLS material so it has high enough resolution!
@@SNRTechBytes thank you so much. I will try your recommendation.
i ordered one from you guys on May 2nd, USPS is still awaiting item :( :( :(
Sorry Aidan! That's my fault. It was dropped off today and should be with you in 2-3 days!
@@SNRTechBytes Thank you so much, i appreciate it!
@@SNRTechBytes You are not going to believe this one, i dropped my mouse and it landed on the scroll wheel and then one i got from you broke :(
i will have to get another one lmao but the one i had was amazing, just couldn't survive the weight of the mouse from a 6ft drop lol
@@triggermoke oh no! Shoot me a message on the website and I’ll give you a discount! Sorry that happened!
@@SNRTechBytes Hey! I got my order in! Idk if it has shipped yet but just wanted to say thank you and that i appreciate it very much!!
Kindly do you have the 3d model so that i can print it.?!
i was in the same boat,
search thingiverse for corsair ironclaw scroll wheel, also the instructions say you need to print out of resin (SLA)
If you still had trouble finding it, I have updated the video description with a direct link to thingiverse!
