Mouse tracking working only on some surfaces

I have a Razer Viper | RZ01-02550 that worked great for years. Sadly all of a sudden my mouse wont work well on my mouse pad. It works fine on my desk and on another mouse pad that I tested it does not on paper or my mouse pad. It tracks well on my mouse pad but only if I move it very slowly. I tried everything: cleaning, reinstalling, resetting, uninstalling, updating, different usb ports … allways with the same result. It just feels like such a weird issue. Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas of what happened and will it get worse and unusable on all surfaces. I really loved using it for past few years so if its sensor that is starting to die or something its fine it served its purpose masterfully.

That’s really interesting. I have a deathadder elite and last night tracking problems started for me. I’ve tried the change USB ports, uninstall/reinstall synapse, checked for debris on the mouse pad and on the Lense. Nothing works, but if I use my mouse on my desk; no problems. I’m using a Razer Gigantus mouse pad, and only having issues with it. I’ve tried recalibration, resetting; but nothing is working. 

Saw your post, you’re not alone.
