Razer Blackwidow Elite Volume wheel problem

This is wrong explenation. I disasembled my keyboard and the volume sensor IS NOT OPTICAL. It is a kind of mechanical potentiometer with steel plates. The plates get rusty and start to malfuction. Probably sometimes it just get a little bit dirty and compressed air will help but it's not long-term solution. So everybody with this issue - you HAVE TO DISSASSEMBLY your keyboard (2 screws underneeth keyboard rubber pads (tope ones) + lots of screws under the keys). Then You have to unplug the potentiometer itself and disassembly the petentiometer which is kinda tricky. You can do it but it's not easy job. Be carefeul to not brake any parts. When You have steel plates visible I reccomand to clean them with ipa (isoprophyl alcohol) - as I'm from Poland I did it with pure vodka + deminaralised water. To clarify - it's not user fault - it's device flaw. It's not user's dirt getting underneeth. It's some kind of oxydation/rust on those small metal plates.

Yes, clean the part in bottom left corner with tape connected. I had the same technology in my '99 Audi TT's heated seats potentiometer. They failed after 15 years :-) Yes, You have to tear rubber pads but only two of them. One under the ESC button and second one under potentiometer (+- few cm). To be precise - you can tear only half of the pad (no need to tear entire as the screw is near the middle of the pad).
