Introduction

This spring is responsible for keeping the scroll wheel in proper alignment with the components of the mouse. Over time, this spring can start to wear out and lose its ability to do this. Once that happens, it is a good idea to start considering replacing the spring to keep the mouse scroll wheel functioning correctly.
