I really hate this mouse wheel on the new mouse I got (trivial thread) [View all]

I was all excited about buying my new mouse and getting it from Amazon, and now I find out the mouse wheel is extra stiff and hard to roll, and it is pissing me off. I'm actually going to have to return it, which is a hassle, just because I like to use the scroll wheel a lot, and I know this thing would drive me batty. A trivial and small thing, but damn, it just is a shame, because I love the mouse in other respects. My trivial complaint of the day!
