very helpful. good directions, good light, good pace, no crazy tangents.
Thank you very much for the feedback. I do appreciate it.
I've had my Naga Chroma for about 6 years now.
In the past I had problems with the mouse wheel, where scrolling either way would wildly flicker up and down instead of smoothly in one direction. Blowing a little compressed air into the sides of the mouse wheel (or doing the same with a plastic straw) fixed it momentarily but not permanently.
In the last couple of months I have been having additional problems whereby a few of the side panel buttons (7, 8, 9 and 10) were unresponsive - they'd register presses very rarely. Also it would stop tracking multiple times per hour for seconds at a time.
I used this guide to take it apart, use compressed air to thoroughly clean it (around the tracker dust had built up, around the mouse wheel cat hairs had gotten inside from my cat often sleeping on top of the mouse for whatever reason), and took apart the housing around the side buttons to air clean it, as well as clean the little bits of dirt and grime from the side buttons themselves and reattach the wire to make sure it was in securly.
Put it all back together and it's working like new, none of the issues persist.
Have to say I don't like Razer keyboards but this mouse is a credit to them, it has lasted 6 years and all it required was a single instance of basic disassembly and cleaning to work like new.
Thanks for the guide!
broke the mouse before watching this video... threw it out the bedroom... thanks for the advice
LOL
Fucking idiot lol
I had the tracking issue. Hated this mouse from the day I bought it when it did this. Yesterday I said enough is enough, so I tried to fix it again. Everywhere people are saying that you should re calibrate it on a mouse pad.....Well this only worked for a while then I needed to re calibrate it again.
Here is how I fixed the issue it seems:
1. Uninstall Razer synapse.
2. Press the middle, right and left mouse button at the same time to reset it.
3. Go into your device manager of your computer.
4. Under mice and other pointing devices, uninstall the current device (mine didn't say Razer Naga).
5. After it is uninstalled plug your mouse into an other usb port.
6. After the mouse has installed the issue would be fixed.
7. Reinstall synapse.
Hope this works for you too.
I tried something like this, but it only seemed to fix it for a bit, and the mouse will from time to time stop working randomly. It seems to be when I lift off of the mouse pad, it'll jump to a random spot on the screen, then proceed to not detect any movements for the next couple of seconds. It isn't too bad until it does this in the middle of a fast pace game, at which point I get the temptation to burn the mouse.
ruanpottaz would do it but my mouse don’t even wanna move
So far it has seemed to work , ty
@@freya9107 Legit had like 5 nagas and all do the same.... They really dont give a good solution too, blames it on calibration or that there is something blocking their sensor. All bullshit they just dont have a sensor that works more than 3 days properly.
@@magikille ya, it was bad enough I litterally swapped back to my $15 mouse. It's kind of frustrating to pay over $50 for a mouse, than have it loose to a $15 mouse. Don't get me wrong, when the razor worked, it was great, loved it, but it was very shortly lived. I don't think I can get my money back either
You're a legend, my 2014 Naga lazer stopped working today, pulled it apart and dumped a little solder on the joints as suggested and the beast lives again.
Didn't have the tracking issue but half of the numpad no longer responding, the video teached me how to properly disassemble the mouse properly, which was pretty much all I needed in order to fix the rest!
Lifesaver, I'll never be able to thank you enough :D
This is the exact problem I was having with my naga. Tysm
You're welcome, happy I could help
Helpful video. I had up/down tracking issues and took mine apart and found the sensor to be in perfect condition. Since I didn't have soldering equipment, I decided to just clean it with some isopropyl and see if that does anything. And to my surprise, it completely fixed it!
That is a wonderful surprise , I am happy for you! just a cleaning needed is always the best outcome . Congrats again and thanks for checking out my video
what helped me was using a q tip and some isopropyc alcohol just press it into the laser opening and try to clean the laser as good as you can, worked wonders
Thanks for this, ended up having a close look at the sensor and found a tiny hair to be the culprit, great video and well executed!
I am happy you found the issue and thank you so much for the kind words
this completely fixed my sensor and I did not even have to fix anything. Thank you so much you saved me $40 for another mouse.
I suffered from this problem for so long, and it was all due to dry solder joints :-(
I tried different mats, mouse calibration and other stuff. Only banging on it helped sometimes. Ended up replacing the mouse, but now I can repair it :) Thanks
I could fix my Razer Naga thanks to this video. I spilled water on it and wanted to know how to open it up to clean it.
Thanks a lot. Very cool.
It works all fine now.
I just need to buy and install mouse "feets"
Congrats on fixing your Naga, I'm happy I could help. Those feet are the icing on the cake
I've used mine for 4-5 years so far, a little tip guys is when the tracker/cursor moves weird just blow/clean the sensor real quick. When the scroll wheel gets jumpy and behaves weird, just blow in the holes next to it to get rid of dirt stuck there.
This 3 year old comment just saved me 400 bucks!
@@rupertbreach6654 Gotchu friend!
i use mine since november 2013 for heavely daily usage still works as good as it was the first day!
ty, numpad wasnt working on my mouse for the 12 button on my games, had to click it like 30 times to get one to go through, tore it apart, cleaned it with some air/alcohol wipes and it works great
Dude, quality video. Props.
Short and to the point, no bullshit.
that's what wanted the out come to be. I appreciate your awesome words !
thanks for the advice, I re-soldered the tracking sensor and it worked perfectly
ive been going crzy trying to figure this out, same exact issues, dont have a soldering tool but now i know for sure what to do, life saver.
wow, thanks mate! I really need to clean my Naga Chroma.
No problem, happy I could help
I've had 2 razer naga classic edition mice each one only lasted about 2 years, as the r-click stops registering and will frustratingly drop clicks if you try to hold them. I really hope cleaning mine internally will resolve the issue! thanks for the vid!
I hope that fixes it as well. Your super welcome and best of luck
Thx a lot! After encountering the same tracking sensor problems you describe I've followed your guide and found that I've got some apparently conductive oily fluid spots on the main PCB. After cleaning with pure EtOH and reassembling the mouse works fine again :)
I am happy my video helped :) and happy to hear it is fixed
Thank You so so much for this tuto ! I was just about to buy another one, finally I opened it and blew inside and it fixed the sensor !
nice video helped me to fix my razer naga epic chroma (wireless). i just cleaned up everything under the plate next to the sensor and that worked well for me ! thanks bruv greetings from germany
Happy I could help ! You got away with an easy fix. I am jealous of you for that :)
I took it apart and cleaned the sensors using multiple q tips and rubbing alcohol it works fine for me now.
Hi I just wanted you to know that this was a very well done video. A friend at work was frustrated with this mouse and because of your video and a little effort it is now working!!!
After a couple years of my mouse working flawlessly, it quit tracking. this video helped me to take it apart. Right at 2:02 in the video where he has taken the ribbon out you see the soldered parts in the diamond configuration. I had gunkus stuck in it on those solder points. I took the gunkus off and now it works perfectly!!
Thanks, just dismantle mine on the 2014 and now the clics reworks perfectly in arena in wow :)
No problem ! I'm happy to hear you got your Naga back to working order. I know how relieved you must feel rn. Thanks for watching :)
All i watched was the unskrewing of the bottom part :) thanks bro my red LED logo wasnt working so i needed to solder and it worked :D
I am happy the video could be of help :)
imagine shipping out a defective mouse where the customer has to open and solder something so the mouse can work as advertised
Te easiest way to fix the bump is removing the bottom pads. That's how I fixed mine. Greetings!
i have the same mouse and i disassembled it for the first time.there had much dust , much much ^^' but i took off all ^^ and i cleaned the mouse wheel too . thank you for your video , it helped very much :)
Thank you!! its not exactly to my mouse but you make me get courage and open my Scimitar Corsair, because was stuck my button (those one back the wheel) so i opened and it was okay, nothing wrong except some bad manufacture stuff but nothing else, so i just push back the button and now its okay! 8D it does not stuck again! Thank you again! 8)
+Blake Stark No problem. I am happy I could help :)
My main left button snapped off for no particular reason so all I need is the first top cover removed to fit another 2nd hand one! Cheers 👍
crazy how this tracking issue has been a problem for the last 6 years. you would think they would have it fixed by now. Both of the naga chromas I've used have had this problem.
Back in 2014, I bought a new naga 2014 edition and the sensor started acting up within 6 months, razer sent me a replacement and that one also failed within 6 months. That was the last time I would buy anything by razer.
Thanks a bunch for uploading this i was having trouble with mine but now it's fixed :)
thankyou n happynewyear 2019 my problem was a screw leg had broken into 7 pieces ..so was rattling around inside .. superglue and patience! ..btw the inner 12button cable can be disconnected but it has a side clasp ..then the cable comes straight out n back in.. choice.. hi all n bye all.. 0range
MY HERO! it's exactly what happened to mine! saved me 100$
Im happy I could help !
Well, I didn't get to disassemble it like you showed us because changing the USB port did the trick. But thanks for the tip.
Thanks! I just wanted to disassemble it, because I was thinking about spray paint the top white! the mouse works fine for me, but i'll keep this in mind if my naga acts up in the future.
My naga kept jumping and stop tracking whenever I lifted it.
Cleaning the sensor sorted it right out. A bit of IPA and a cotton bud
Thanks for the guide!
Rob Ackers not a problem ! I'm happy the guide was able to help :)
Thanks I had this issue, re flowed all the soldered joints on the senor checked it again and fixed the issue thanks alot :)
Glad it helped
I dunno why people always hate on Razer, i've had zero issues with my black widow keyboard and naga mouse, and i've had both for 3 years. Zero issues. Although I did wanna see how to take apart the mouse since the buttons are getting pretty filthy ;) Great video!
woohoo, used your video to clean the sensor and the rest of the mouse. thanks man.
Np man. I am happy it helped you out
The problem with the Naga is that they don't tell you to make sure the power switch on the bottom of the mouse is set to 'off' when you are using it in wired mode. It should only be set to 'on' if you are using it wireless. If these directions are not followed when using it wired, it will cause the mouse to jump all over the place and sometimes not even move. Very annoying problem that even the tech support at Razer didn't mention when I called them.
Had the same problem. 6 times. I kept reclaiming the mouse since the first version of Naga untill the last one. I didn't get to reclaim it in time now, so I've done the fix now and it seems to work. I will game test it tomorrow and will update it :)
Have you tried it yet
@@ddamfaeoll508 it still works, mate!! But it does have bad and better days. There are some lesser stutters from time to time but 3 years after your comment, it still does it's job :D
@@oOWiTyOo thanks for the reply lol
Will try this today. Same problem here. Nice video! Thanks Eddie.
I hope it goes well and thank you Martin :)
Hey did it work?
Hi I'm Brazilian and i didnt understand what i have to do after disassembling him..
Depois de abrir ele refez a solda dos conectores do sensor ótico.
just ordered a new cord my dog chewed threw mine, thanks for the video
Glad I could help
You are lucky you had the knowledge how to repair your mouse. Have fun with it :)
very good tutorial! nice voice 🙂helpfull at all 🙂
Thank you so much ! Happy I could help
Thanks so much, fixed my tracking issue
I am happy to hear that :)
This video was super helpful, thank you!
agreed ..helps to know how not to break it more ..while trying to actually fix it! ^^
Thanks for the video Eddie! You helped me save our (razer naga epic chroma) mouse.
( our cat ran across the desk kicking and spilling a cup of coffee last night, mouse button was sticky today. )
Everyone please hit the like button for mister Brown!
I think they changed the design of the Naga 2014 at some point, because I have some transparent plastic plates over my 4 screes on top of the glide pads.
Great video, I’m just having problems with the cable, talked to a Razer agent & they told me to get a replacement cable so hopefully that’s the only problem 😅. Looks simple enough to disassemble.
That is awesome, I have my fingers crossed for you !
Eddie Brown thanks I actually got it yesterday & this video helped a lot, thank you
Just wanted to know where the screws were. Thanks for the heads-up about the cable attached to the top of the mouse. Cheers
i have it for 8 years and yesterday he start to jump i will try it hope it will fix it cuz i love him
Thnx work perfectly got my dad to open it up clean censor when some alcohol and it works fine! Thnx
screws holes aren't there at all fro me ,raz01-0161, not sure if 2014 edition or not, it'
s a naga chroma aswell. I kinda tore off the top part where the mouse cover and there are screw holes there but no where on the bottom of the mouse, wtf?!
Gracias, tu vídeo me ayudo a solucionar mi problema, mi ratón tenia exactamente el mismo problema y después de ver tu vídeo ya nunca tendré este problema de nuevo =D
Had my Naga 2014 since they came out and it started doing this shit about 2 years ago and I've just lived with it until I just drowned the fucker and alcohol and that solved the issue
That is the best strategy ! I find myself doing that first with things too
thanks i used a demonstrative vdo
Legendary eddition
i had the same exact problems you described but a recent Synapse update finally fixed it!
Thanks for the underside view brah. Couldn't find it on google images. Needed to know where to punch out holes in the feet, cause my cable is shorting out every 30 seconds and the replacement feet ain't coming for days.
These laminated feet can't survive a reapplication.
They are not exactly the same after reapplication I found this on amazon if it helps www.amazon.com/Mouse-Skatez-Razer-Gaming-replacement/dp/B00V6B3G12
Sorted the issue for me, thanks!
Np Glad I could help !
thx i fix my mouse thx to this illustrate video same problem here and now my mouse work fine !
+Akuda Fox what is sawter
+Akuda Fox I am glade I was of help :)
+Akuda Fox how did soldered the leads around the tracking sensor?
+KikitodjGamer all I did was press the soldering iron carefully on each lead of the tracking sensor and used a spool of solder to apply solder to each lead area when it got hot enough
okay thanks
Super great tutorial, subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
I was wondering if there was any way to make the mouse lighter. Now seeing the internals.. it looks like a Dremel would be the only way to make something like that possible... but extremely carefully. Thanks for the walkthrough!
You are a legend
WOW after 6 yrs,mine magically turned on after just removing the pads ffs. it went wonky and shut off after 1 yr use in 2015. is razer known for dysfunctional mice?
What is better:
Razer Naga 2012 or 2014? I've never tried the 2012
both bad just get another mmo mouse
@@invertmousegod6997 ?
@@invertmousegod6997 i got mine back in 2015, still working well for me
Let’s put it this way I got the molten as my first gaming mouse then when the sensor went I thought hey I’ll just replace it with a new trinity... horrible decision the new mouse is bulky and not even close to the same. The 2014 is best mouse I have ever owned
@@deadly134 agreed, my 2014's been sturdy all along and I think it also has great functionality as well.
My issue with these mice is that the right click last maybe 3 months. I've gone through 3 in a year. I'm tired of it. Razor gives no help what's so ever. I took all three apart thinking they were dirty. Nope.. so I did some small engineering on the part that reaches down and pushes the button. Let's see how it goes. Oh the ones I have, have the changeable buttons on the side.
I've had mine for like 4 years now no issues with that, I am using right click A LOT in league. What I did have problems with was tracking issues, cursor froze and behaved weirdly, I fixed it by using "commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White_menbo.jpg" these, I just pulled them into the sensor under mouse and twisted it around for like 2 seconds and the tracker would work fine again. So basically it's just dirt getting stuck in the sensor under the mouse that you need to get rid off, maybe you can blow too. I've used this method for 4 years and it still works like a charm.
At one point I had an issue with the scroll wheel skipping steps and behaving weirdly, I fixed it be simply blowing into the holes right next to the wheels, took me 10 seconds. So in my experience there is very rarely hardware issues people have with these mice, only little dirt getting stuck in sensor/scroll wheel at least for the 2014 version.
I've already bought 2 mouse since the issue happened a year and a half when I bought it, i just remembered to search on how to fix it lol
very helpful! thank you
i found that when i use a black mouse pad i was having issues.. i followed this guide i found that allowed me to calibrate the the sensor to the mouse pad i was using. What you do is hold the left middle and right mouse button down for 5 secs. this worked for me.
Wow man thank you
I threw away like 3 razer mouses all because of this problem and you fixed it simply. thank you
Yeah good work, helped me!
My clicks need to click hard so mouse doesnt release by it self
What should i do
I have a question, the issue i am having is my left click button isn't working properly. the clicking it self works but when I hold Left click down doesn't work. not unless i click really hard and hold it
I fixed my naga2014 mouse that was having flaws. Only the side buttons. I replace the cable from my mouse with a simple mouse cable, just need to invert the wires to their respective colors.
I fixed it it worked for me thanks man!
I am happy I could be of help :)
thank you vry much i fixed my mouse :)
Roght clic doesnt hold is an issues that lot of naga has
So... the problem was just those 3 tapes to be removed.... ok got it!!! ;)))
Saddly, I needed info going a step further in order to fix the top of the two buttons under the scroll wheel; it clicks nicely but has stopped responding. After getting mine apart (thank you for your instruction) it seems I can't get that final piece off to get at the button.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
nice video
Unfortunately, I don't know what a lead is, and I don't see 10 of anything.
all naga taht i used did this !!!
I have no experience with soldering :( Can someone point me in the right direction for what tools i would need to solder the leads on my board? Also, again i will show my inexperience with this stuff lol, those circles with the TP numbers by the leads, i want to make sure i don't get any soldering material on them?
I need a teardown of the side plates or picture of it.
Just Super Nintendo Cartridge Blow one side of the mouse.... Watch the magic happen
Didn't work for me so I tried to Sega Genesis Cartridge Blow it and working fine now. Thanks for the tip!
I was having the problem with my Naga Chroma. Blew right at the sensor and the problem was gone. Amazing... Thanks!
Monto you're a lifesaver
After buying a Naga Trinity and hating the larger model, this simple fix was the answer for my Naga 2014, thanks dude you rock!
Dope man. My scroll wheel was whack for a bit. This actually worked.
On the yellow tracking thing is 2 little bubbles normal bcs my tracking doesn't work at all
Can you teach us what it's like to "Sauder the leads"?
I want to learn more about taking hardware apart and fixing stuff, and my Naga has tracking issues, but I don't wanna be doing stuff like that blindly.
I also wasn't really sure what the "leads" are.
Soldering. A method of combining two metal things together with another metal that melts at a lower temperature. Circuits use metal wires and pads because they conduct electricity, they need solder (a low-temperature Tin alloy metal) to melt around these connections (aka leads) and turn solid, holding the parts onto the board.
I did this fixed my problem ! Thanks :)
no problem ! Happy I could help !
I bought one for 6 dlls! and this fix it :v ty dog
hey fellow, how did u manage to buy a single led? i'm looking for it but not finding it anywere
+Gabriel Rajao no man I don't know , I just do the same in the video and it works
Hello, can you pls tell me the model of switches that razer naga 2012 use in both clicks?
I will be releasing a new video in about a week about replacing the left and right click modules and will have detailed what the part is
Why not show how to solder those things? I've no idea how to do that
How do u solder a lead?
When you pull off those stickers where the screws are is it possible to put them back on smoothly?
If not is it still smooth without them?
Thanks in advance to anyone.
yes and no i used spirits to remove any residual glue ..but i'm buying a pack of the slide-pads before my new mouse mat arrives..
