I was using a viper 8k the other day when clicking on the scroll wheel to ping items in game stopped working. I assumed maybe it was just getting old and had a mechanical issue, but when I started synapse software (beta) it started working again normally. I didn’t think much of it, but a few days later, using a deathadder v3 wired on the same pc, the same issue happened and was fixed by opening synapse (beta). It also happened with a viper v2 pro (on that same pc). I was going to chalk it up to synapse beta, but I just had this happen on a deathadder v2 pro on a different pc with regular non-beta synapse where the scroll wheel would not click until opening synapse. All of these mice have the latest firmware and synapse/synapse beta are always updated. Seems connected to the synapse software, which I usually only run when I need to change some configuration. Is there some kind of fix for this other than to open synapse when it occurs (and/or remap the button, and/or reset to default).

Same issue hereFix!!!I had the same issue, when I closed Synapse it would not work and register in any tests, but then in "Customize"I changed the Scroll Click from Default to Mouse Function →Scroll Click and it worked after closing Synapse. No idea to why or how it worked, but it did. Also after this change I changed it back to "Default" and it still works.
