If the scroll wheel is too loose, it may spin out of control without it, but normally it won&#8217;t.  In fact, in some mice, the clicker may cause unwanted scrolling, so removing the clicker will eliminated that.<\/p>\n<p>(The little metal stick inside my mouse broke recently, and I panicked because it was a fairly new, expensive mouse, but before I knew it I was hooked\u2014pun intended.
