Basilisk v3 (wired) Issue with scroll wheel not switching back to tactile mode

Hello,

About two weeks after purchasing my Basilisk v3 mouse, I noticed an issue with the scroll wheel. When switching between tactile mode and free-spin mode, the mouse never returns to tactile.

When I press the button on the mouse, I can see the setting correctly toggling between both modes in Razer Synapse, but the wheel itself stays in free-spin mode regardless.

I have already tried the following steps without success:

  • Changing the USB port

  • Reinstalling Razer Synapse and the full Razer suite

  • Restarting my computer

  • Creating a new profile and switching between them

This is particularly frustrating since the free-spin mode is extremely sensitive, and even moving the mouse quickly makes the wheel spin unintentionally.

Is there a way to fix this issue without opening the mouse (as I would like to keep the warranty intact)?

Thank you for your help.
