CM Storm Recon Scroll Wheel Problem

[PointyFox]

I just got a new CM Storm Recon mouse and I noticed that:

1. There is a point on the wheel where it becomes harder to turn
2. Scrolling upward makes random clicking noises and is louder than scrolling down
3. The clear part of the wheel isn't uniform in thickness

Does anyone have similar problems?

Bump.  I'm going to get a replacement from CM.  No clue if the replacement will be the same.  I hope it's not a design problem like the Logitech G5 mice had with their scroll wheels.

2. That happens with every single unit of the mouse, it's a common problem but doesn't really makes it bad.

Strangely, the CM Storm Spawn and Roccat Kone Pure use the same scroll wheel but neither are THAT loud.

Here's a vid I made about it:

But even with that problem, I'd still throw any Logitech mice against a damn wall if I were to choose between them and a Recon (though Spawn and Kone Pure are nice too).

I have a friend with a Recon who also has this issue.

Update:  Got my replacement and it works perfectly.  I guess there was a problem with my old one.

I bought this mouse today, and when I noticed this issue too I was sooo... pissed off.
I immediately took it apart (haven't even plugged it in lol) and fortunately enough a little piece of tape on (around) wheel's leg fixed the problem
The problem with these mouses is not the scrolling wheel itself, it's rather plastic mountings around it - there is too big of a cavity for scrolling wheel to properly fit in, it's just loose. Technically it's a very minor problem, but surely annoying as heck. IMO it's unacceptable how $60 mouse can behave like that, while most logitech budget mouses for $8 are perfectly silent.

The leg I'am refering to is the part of the wheel which goes on top of middle click switch.

PS.

1. There is a point on the wheel where it becomes harder to turn

I noticed that too. It's not big deal and not hugely noticeable, but I do prefer smoother/ligher scrolling design overall. In windows I had to increase scrolling lines per notch to 7 lines (was 5 lines using Gigabyte M6900) to make it more practical.
