Scroll wheel on Naga Trinity | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

I have an issue with a recently purchased Naga Trinity mouse. I’ve owned a trinity for roughly 6 years and over time it the buttons started to misbehave. Not by much but I thought it was time to buy a new one as it was looking a well used.

When the new one arrived all was well for about a week or two. Then the scroll wheel started to stiffen up to the point where it was hard work to scroll at all. Not comfortable for the finger and certainly not something  I could put up with. So as it was only a few weeks old I returned it as faulty and bought a third one.

Again after about a week or two this mouse also started to be difficult to scroll. Baffling as my 6  year old one still scrolls perfectly.

If I return this one also how could I be sure that the fourth wont also have the same issue. I’ve seen various people discuss this issue as affecting the Trinity but for it to happen while it’s less than a month old seems odd.

Any suggestions welcome.

I tried to post but it didnt let me for some reason. Anyway i’m having the exact same issue, we even went through the same scenario of having the same of for years then replacing it and within the first month i abruptly had a stiff scroll wheel. i’m going to take it apart and investigate. I’ll post here if i turn anything up. If i come up with a fix i’ll let you know as well.


UPDATE: I FIXED IT!!!!! Alright so all i did was open it. i didnt have to unplug anything however i did have to remove the tiny board that sits inside of the wheel from its mount. i didnt’t unplug anything however. SO, what i did was open up the mouse and observe the wheen. I noticed a bar that sits in little notches inside of the wheel. I noticed this was the issue immediately. there was plastic dust all over the rod so somehow there was too much tension on the rod. Naturally i Painstakingly removed the tension rod (it’s tiny, VERY tiny.) i just barely bent the tension rod the opposite direction. I bent one arm of the rod just slightly past the other by maybe a millimeter if that much. you can do it a bit more or less depending on how you want the wheel to feel, but i recommend taking a bit more time and bending it less than you think  you need then reinserting it and testing it from there. its much easier to ease the tension than increase it you see. Anyway if you have any questions you can reach me here jake.bechtel32@gmail.com
