My problems with Razer mice.
About seven or eight years ago I bought my first Razer mouse (DeathAdder Elite) and it suited with my right hand very well.
But as I kept using it for a while, I encountered an issue. When I scrolled the wheel, it would jump back and forth, so I naturally assumed it was broken. Because of that, I bought a new one, but the same issue occurred, and I ended up rebuying the same mouse three times.
So this time, I opened it to see what’s wrong with it.
Some clarification
Before I talk about the modifications I made, I need to mention that I have no knowledge of anything. So, for someone professional, what I’ve done may look silly.
Disassembling
TL;DR: Just remove the LED if the scroll wheel of your Razer mouse is faulty!
There are couple of videos online about how to open and clean it up like this is the one I used as a reference.
I’m not a professional like I wrote, so I just moved the LED placed on the wheel and taped it to the different location.
In order to disassemble, you need to remove the mouse skates/mouse feet pads, which could damage in the process of removing it. I’m saying it from my experience XD. Cuz I tried to remove it carefully, but ended up I damaging it and had to buy new one from AliExpress.
Nonetheless, I was being able to fix the wheel issue. So it’s whatever.
If the issue still occurs, just blow on the wheel part.
