buy a g400
cant really fix bad build quality

I've had two different Razer mice and I don't think I've ever experienced that problem.

That or I never noticed it since I don't use the scroll wheel that much.

Except the G400 feels like a turd compared to my SUPER ERGONOMIC DEATHADDER BLACK EDITION. Please don't sass again me downpour.

ill sass you as much as i want
bitch

i had a death adder 3.5g as well as the black edition
switched to the g400 in one day
your move

Mine came like that out of the box. They just have shit mousewheels I guess. Dunno if there's any fix, maybe 2013 DA is better.

I've tried that and the G500. DA 4 lyfe.

Sounds like the scroll wheel is wearing out, my 2 year old DA has a pretty loose scroll wheel that randomly scrolls on its own. There's not much you can do to fix the DA's scroll wheel, it's a different kind of design that's not easy to perform maintenance on.

The only things I could suggest would be to either get another DA, or try something like the EC1 which has a pretty similar shape as the DA with a more durable scroll wheel.

Here's a thread with some information: http://www.overclock.net/t/1169826/deathadder-be-loose-wheel

i actually purchased the G400 as my first mouse, and had this problem, returned it, got a different one, same problem, so i just bought a deathadder and i haven't had the problem since.
weird

I've owned two DeathAdders, a Mamba, and a Lachesis. All but the Lachesis experienced this issue. I just got sick of it, never found a fix either. Switched to my Corsair mice and never looked back. :3

I've been using the same death adder for 5.5 years now. I never got this issue or any issue.

I had a death adder from 2009 to 2012, it was fine then I had the mouse wheel problem so I bought a new one and it got the same problem in a few months.

So I got another one.
Then the mouse wheel broke.

I'm on death adder #4 right now.

Yeah my first DA had the same issue, I've basically accepted that this will happen eventually, as it does to most people. Was just wondering if anybody had found a fix, because I love the feel of the DA.

I had mine for like 3 years, then the click broke a bit so I got a new one. On DA #2, been good for the past year. DA 4 LYFE

I have the same death adder i got years ago. At one point the mouse wheel was being dumb, but it's back to normal now... idk what happened.

Build quality is something that's hard to work around. You could consider a Zowie EC1 eVo. The shape and weights are fairly similar so the move shouldn't be that difficult.

I'v not encountered this problem yet.
my only issue with it is that its way too far back on the mouse.

why keep buying the same product when it's failed you three times

it's slightly different from having an abusive boyfriend, in that you can throw it across the room

I've heard the new DA's have worse build quality(IDK about the new 2013 version)

I have a DA I don't use anymore, want it synchro?

only if you bring it to lan bby

My DA does this from time to time as well in that it'll just randomly scroll. Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to do this while I'm browsing - or even playing other games - only tf2 (I use the mouse wheel to switch to primary and melee). I've always theorized that it's some issue with the drivers and TF2 itself or the way the device detects motion from the wheel.

Although I do have to say one of the side mouse buttons broke almost immediately after my 1 year warranty was up :(

The Deathadder is an okay mouse...it's nothing special. It might just be that it doesn't fit me well, but I get pretty bad soreness in my palm from it.

My Naga Molten's side/thumb grid (buy binds in CS) wont light up.
I want my cool light

Did anyone end up finding a solution to this problem? My mouse has the exact same problem and it's making everything on a computer a pain.

Edit: Turns out blowing hard into the mousewheel fixes the problem.
Who would've guessed.

My old deathadder 3.5's mousewheel just stopped scrolling and functioning. My only solution was to get a new mouse.

when my DA mousewheel completely stopped working it was a godsend, because that mousewheel was garbage

get a naga :")

literally spilt countless glasses of water on it and it works, no problems except 1 hour when i spilt water it wouldnt work for a bit

To be fair my friend went through 3 G400's which all had the same cable issue where the mouse would keep disconnecting from his PC mid-game, all the while screaming "RAZER FANBOY!!!" at me because I bought a DA.
