Squeeking scroll wheel, is it repairable?

I have a Zowie EC1 that I really love, but the scroll wheel is squeeking and gets stuck sometimes.

Is it possible to luube it or will it make it worse? I dont really want to open it up before I know if its doable.

Thanks

Have you opened the mouse up yet to see if its not just really dirty with some small debris stuck against the wheel or something?

No I have not, but since people don't seem to know if it's luubable I will open it up anyway and but another mouse if I fuck it up. But it's not fun to buy mice, I'd rather buy new keyboards for the money. :)

It's a common problem with Zowie EC mices, you should RMA.

Haha, I think I'm going to buy a Steelseries Kana instead, might open the mouse up and check it out when I got the new mouse. I'm tired of Zowie now anyway, it's the second mouse that brakes down.. Love the design, hate the quiality.
