Please can someone who owns the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum, answer a question for me.

Is the mouse wheel supposed to rattle/clunk? If I have the mouse in middle mouse free roll, which it really comfy, it rattles under the slightest movement. When I move mouse from side to side, on the mouse mat, it clunks, when I stop movement. It happens with only the lightest movement too, making it completely unusable.

If I hold the mouse wheel, all is fine. Or if I put the mouse wheel in normal ratchet mode, it's fine. However then it's hard to scroll, and grinding noisy.

Crying shame because the feel of the mouse is excellent. ... I am asking though, because if this is normal, then I won't get a replacement. I will just return it.

Yeah a new buy. I can RMA it. However I wanted to be sure they are not just all like this before trying.

I like the free-roll mouse wheel setting for browsing. Whereas I like the ratchet mouse scroll for gaming.

As I say though, just moving the mouse about when the middle-mouse-button in in free-scroll mode is annoying. Every single time I move the mouse, the mouse wheel clunky rattles, arghhh!
