My logitech optical mouse is currently sending spurious scroll commands from the mouse wheel, causing me to jump to the top of pages randomly. I've confirmed this is the problem with the event viewer.

What is the proper syntax for disabling the scroll wheel on a logitech mouse within the XML file? I already am disabling the slash key, which inexplicably is repeating so it currently looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <devicevendordef>
    <vendorname>APPLE</vendorname>
    <vendorid>0x05ac</vendorid>
  </devicevendordef>

  <deviceproductdef>
    <productname>APPLEKEYBOARD</productname>
    <productid>0x0245</productid>
  </deviceproductdef>

  <item>
    <name>Slash on Internal Keyboard</name>
    <identifier>private.deviceproductdef</identifier>
    <device_only>DeviceVendor::APPLE, DeviceProduct::APPLEKEYBOARD</device_only>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::SLASH, KeyCode::VK_NONE</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::VK_NONE</autogen>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::DELETE, KeyCode::VK_NONE</autogen>
  </item>

  <item>
    <name>Disable keypad Slash</name>
    <identifier>private.swap_space_and_tab</identifier>
    <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::KEYPAD_SLASH, KeyCode::VK_NONE</autogen>
  </item>
</root>

The information on the mouse is as follower:

Pointing

    USB Optical Mouse (Logitech)

    DeviceVendor::RawValue::0x046d,

    DeviceProduct::RawValue::0xc05a,

    DeviceLocation::RawValue::0xfd130000,

Put this <item> into your private.xml:

Thank you sir! I'll try that tonight and reload the XML within Karabiner.

How did not work?

Does the setting not stop scroll wheel events?
Or the physical scroll wheel stops but your jump issue still happen?

The event continues to register on EventViewer and in applications. Also normal scrolling events show up in the Event Viewer as well.

I see.

Does removing <device_only> make change?

No, it did not change. I still get the spurious scrolling show above.

I guess that your pointing device are ignored in Karabiner.

Did not you enable "Generic > Don't remap any pointing device" or
similar settings or you use SmoothMouse together?

And now it's working. No idea why it changed or what happened.

Thanks!
