Mouse Scroll Wheel Jumps Up and Down

I've been using Razer DeathAdder Essential mouse for couple of months and lately when I try to use scroll wheel it started to jump up and down. Its happening in all browsers and games. If I try to scroll down the direction in the application I am using at the time will jumps  up then 1 down (and vice versa) chaotically.

As per the razer support article for this issue I have done all the following to no avail -

  • Tested in another USB socket.
  • Checked the firmware.
  • Windows and nvidia driver are already upto date.
  • Used a hand blower that I use for blowing out dust from inside the PC, on the gaps between and around the wheel.
  • I dont run Synapse or any other Razor related bloatware in the background - its a mouse.

As an engineer, this to me ‘looks and feels’ like a sensor error on the mouse, I did post aanother thread for this issue but its not longer visible?!

If scroll is jumping up/down, then scroll encoder is faulty.

Only replacement (requires soldering) will help. Unless you still have warranty - then RMA it.

Regarding replacing the sensor, where can I buy this from, or failing that, whats the part number so I can try and source it myself.

Regarding warranty, all razor mice have a 2yr warranty - https://www.razer.com/warranty. I just attempted to file an RMA and got told the Mouse is no longer under warranty, which Iis entirley incorrect! The mouse was purchased on Feb 2022, so I still have another 7 months left on it.

 

 

So spoke to the Razor shop in London, they reminded me of the link you can click on when the warranty search comes up correct and advised that I would be able to return the product to the original place of purchase.  I took the latter and they are just refunding me the original cost, so I will just go and buy another DA mini.

 

But back to the scroll-wheel sensor, this will happen again on the second mouse, so I would like to know where I can go and buy a replacement part from please.

Was this resolved? Oh man. I’m having the same issue. This is a premium mouse and would expect it to work the same. 4-months in and I’m having this issue. But I did already reported it to them though.

I’ve had this issue on 2 Naga Pro’s, both new in box (RMAd the first one).  I’m pretty disappointed with the nosedive in quality.
