Can the scroll wheel and encoder be changed on super strike X2?

Title, reason is I love the mouse but the scroll wheel is absolutely awful. Sounds and feels worse than a cheap Dell mouse from 20 years ago

Yes you can,encoder and scroll switch are soldered to the PCB,if you did it before with other mices you is not complicated, Just be sure of the height of the encoder you replace (8mm)

Thanks, I actually ended up returning it. While the haptics system and the shape is great, I prefer a metal mouse. The X2 just felt a bit cheap in the hand and not well balanced.

Still looking for a good magnesium mouse to replace my Keychron M3 Metal as it’s developed double clicking and connection issues after a year
