I got the new v3 pro Naga but the entire first day I had it the scroll wheel would not change sensitivity when pressing the button ndespite software showing it changing, next day when I turned on pc it was working, then since it mostly works but can stop working randomly for no reason. When it does work and shift it does make a loud is noise you can hear, maybe this is normal? But I don't k ow it's its hardware fault or just a software bug, anyone else had this? I see no reviewer mentioning it.

Are you talking about the scroll wheel changing from tactile to smooth scroll? It does make a sound and you can activate it if you suddenly scroll fast in a direction. Would be nice to be able to set the threshold of activation so that it wouldn’t activate randomly like that but the sounds it makes are pure hardware switching something to allow smooth scrolling to happen.

Yes, thay auto changing is a setting you can turn on but my concern is the switching from tactile to smooth to precise doesn't always work like it will be on tactile, I will click the button to change and it does nothing sometimes. Like the auto smooth scrolling happened when I scroll fast and then when I stopped scrolling sometimes it would not go back to tactile and stay in smooth.

It is like it could be a software or hardware issue; checking firmware and Synapse settings first seems sensible, and vh777a is worth exploring separately.

Just got the new Naga V3 Pro from the store. 10 minutes of testing and it's going straight in the trash.

The new scroll wheel is absolute BS! Razer quietly removed the absolute best feature of the V2 Pro—the custom scroll wheel haptics in Synapse—and replaced it with a cheap-feeling, mushy wheel. They kept the 'Pro' name and the premium price tag, but massively downgraded the hardware.

The tension on this new wheel is so weak that I can’t even use it in my software. For me, the Naga line has always been for productivity and MMOs, where you need precise, tactile feedback. Instead, the V3 has the weakest, loosest scroll wheel tension of any mouse I’ve ever used.

I can’t post Reddit links here, but I’m not alone on this. Many others are complaining about the exact same thing.

TL;DR for anyone considering the V3: If you need tactile scroll steps, stay away. If your V2 fails—and scroll wheel tension is important to you—try to buy another V2 while you still can. Vote with your wallet!

I wonder if I can do anything with this in the other softwares. I am fixing and adding so much to SignalRGB right now. 

 

Razer did me dirty. I have quite the collection and they just dropped me as though it doesn't matter. I am on a mission to show how bad this has got.
