Razer Scroll Wheel Squeak Fix

This is a fix for people who might have a squeaky Razer Mamba Scroll Wheel.

After a year or so, mine started squeaking and drove me nuts. So I tore it apart and fixed it!

Enjoy!

You, sir, are either very sure of yourself not to break anything while taking this thing apart or dropping $130 on a mouse isn't that big of a deal to you. Cool fix nonetheless seeing as it worked for many people.

@MrEnglishMuphin I work with robotics and electromechanical products for a living, I am just careful and use common sense. Usually thats all it takes... a little confidence that nothing is too hard helps too!

Thanks for the comment!

@TheGhostshadow95 wd-40 and duct tape can fix the world!

Helpful video is helpful. Learned the lesson to stay away from Razer when my Abyssus and Salmosa Mini started squeaking, and when the rubber layer came off one of my Krait scrolls and the scroll just gummed up on another Krait.

Worked perfectly with just a little air duster and a baby wipe. No more squeak... thanks!!! I had some reserves on removing the Teflon and rubber strips but as he said in the video as long as you don't let them stick to anything they will go right back to original placement.

Fantastic, helpful video. Thanks so much, man. :) This was killing me!

Hello,

you showed how there are two LEDs on a small piece being on top of the achis inside the wheel. Is your wheel lit out evenly?

My Mamba (2012) has an uneven lit, the right side is brighter than the left and if you look at the wheel right from the front, you can se the right side (inside the casing, next to the wheel) being lit out strongly, while the left side is totally dark (only axis has a weak glow).

Is that normal? Frustrating if the side facing you is darker than the other.

u used WD-40 on my Abyssus..and it fixed it...

@ShadowChickenz the same here. I bought mine few days ago; the scroll is loose and makes rattle sound and shaky feeling, when I shake it in air or move it from side to side on my mousepad. I've just written to Razer's technical support and introduced them my problem, but I'm considering to stiffen it by myself somehow with a lil drop of a glue on the plastic between the scroll and side wall or some slip among. If you try to tuck there a bit of paper or sth, you will notice the scroll is stable.

Don't know if someone has posted it here in comments already, but that was quite idiotic (to be more gentle - useless) what you did with the side "holders". You didn't need to pick the whole rubber when you found out that the screw is just after your first revelation. That's what I did not do. But it's just a small notice.
