Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

i love the 502 but my scroll wheel is stuck. anyone know how to fix it?
i assume it's just finger gunk slowing it up because it's not completely locked solid, but it's very difficult to spin the wheel. i tried getting in there and scraping it with a small pocket knife. i also put some WD-40...
