Razer Naga 2014 (Left-Handed Edition) Scroll Wheel Encoder Replacement

はじめに

A faulty scroll wheel encoder chip will cause irregular scrolling. You can replace the chip and still preserve the stock wheel and lights if you follow this guide. Also make sure that the mouse is unplugged from the pc prior to beginning.

The Razer Naga 2014 (Left-Handed Edition) was discontinued from production shortly after it’s initial run. Unfortunately for many people, including myself, using a standard right handed mouse is not an option. So this guide will help people preserve their mouse and use it for years to come.
