Razer Basilisk V3 stuck in free spin

I am experiencing an issue with the tactile scroll mode on my Razer Basilisk V3. When using the mouse in tactile mode, I can still hear a metal pin or component moving inside the device. Typically, there is some resistance during the first second of scrolling, but this resistance disappears shortly afterward and does not return unless I switch to free-spin mode and then back to tactile mode.

Additionally, when I spin the scroll wheel quickly in tactile mode, I can hear the internal component moving so something is switching between free spin and tactile.

 

I am on firmware version 1.0.3.0

 

To troubleshoot, I have already attempted the following steps without success:

  • Factory reset the mouse

  • Restarted Razer Synapse

  • Rebooted my PC

  • Tried different USB ports

  • Updated razer Synapse

I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. Please let me know if further information or diagnostics are required.

Notice how they never answered. Every basilisk with free spin access is doomed to this fate. I’ve had it happen on 4 different basilisk v3 pros, and now more recently the wired. I tried for years to continue supporting this brand, and they always drop the ball.  everything's been downhill since 2020
