@sara I've never had one actually fail but I've had one so completely filled with dust and gunk that it got really flaky

@noiob would be great if it was just that, but it keeps jumping and apparently it's a common enough issue.... should be easy enough to replace the encoder, or at least try to reassemble the thing but man it's frustrating because it's so random when it decides to swap the scroll direction
