Hey guys to cut a long story short, I broke my mousewheel through slamming the thing when my pc stopped working.
Basically I dont really want to buy a new mouse and it feels odd using my old copperhead. The mousewheel is unfortunatly not the same size so I cannot transfer the parts.
Anyway if anyone here has a broken deathadder with an intact mousewheel that ‘should’ or does work, perhaps they can help me out and we can arrange something.
Now obviously im not going to pay for the full mouse, but id try and work something out….
I did briefly look for a spares and repairs type thing, but I dont believe razer sell spare mousewheels … at least I couldnt find it from a quick search.
Thanks for your time guys.

The treatment is for the user, not the computer :)

btw, in what way is it broken? is the mechanism broken or just the wheel?
the wheel is intact but inside you push the ‘axel’ into a slot which as you spin the wheel rotates as im sure you know.
Well its a tiny bit of plastic which slots in and I can only assume the force of slamming down pushed the wheel down and broke the tiny bit off so now it doesnt slot in.
I have considered gluing it but I doubt it will be strong enough, and I dont wish to glue it to the slot as it may jam as the glue dries, I dont think im careful enough to not mess it up !!
Done the exact same thing multiple times when I was going through a DA phase. Have you checked everything near the wheel inside the mouse? I’d say you’ve shattered the internals of the the micro switches for the wheel, just like I did. Then all you need is a soldering iron and an old mouse you can steal some micro switches from. Might not work because you’re Welsh though.

haha thanks you git.
I know I broke the plastic bit that holds the mouse in and rotates the thingy inside. Its a tiny bit of plastic.
Also Zappah Warranty doesnt cover retarded people smashing their mice, aka me … plus I doubt its still in warranty anyway, its close to two years old now I think.
Tbh I think ill just use the mouse for now, I just cant scroll which is a royal pain in the ass, but ill get a new mouse in september.
If anyone has a spare DA button 5 you can send me a message :p
