MX518 - Scrolling up is noisier than scrolling down?

My mx510 is the same. It's more "clicky" scrolling up than down.

this happens to my naga too, but it's a lot louder than scrolling down

My MX518 is the same when scrolling up on the wheel !!!

The pin used to generate each click means all mx518 mice will have a slightly different sound. Shown here to left of wheel:

Any subtle changes to the shape of that pin will adjust the tactile feedback, noise level and symmetry of both. I've had to modify mine a few times to get the wheel semi-decent. You'll need a spare set of feet if you attempt this. Also be warned, a spring on the other side tends to fly off into the distance when removed

Interesting, here is the G500 wheel, the MX518 seems to have a flawed design, the shape of the pin will change through use. I guess in an ideal world you would hope the user does the same amount of scrolling up and down.
