Anyone here having problems with double clicking your razer naga's left mouse button?
Is this annoying issue causing you to make dragging and highlighting things nearly impossible?

I have decided to document with pictures how I fixed this issue for good. (Razerblueprints.net for pictures)

First of all, updating your drivers and flashing your firmware will NOT get rid of this problem with your razer Naga. Razer claims that firmware update 1.07 fixes this issue which it doesn't, It does however make it a little better if its not already very very bad.

You can RMA your mouse if its still out of warranty if u like, however if you either don't want to wait weeks without your precious Naga or if your warranty is out follow these easy steps. Its really not hard and only takes you like 15 minutes.

Firstly Unplug your mouse.

1. First Carefully/Slowly peel off the outer plastic pad as the second picture shows, underneath you will see 4 small screws.
( you do not need to take off the large sticker on the bottom of the mouse, I originally thought I did but you don't )

2. Take out screws

3. Use either your finger nail or a pointy flat object to pop the back portion of the naga up then take off the top, the right side of the naga will likely fall off, no biggie you will put it back when were done.

4. Now were going to apply 3-5 drops of CONTACT CLEANER directly on top of the button that is giving you issue (in my case the little button switch on the left side of the wheel)

5. I recommend pushing the button a bunch of times slowly to help let the solution go down into the switcher, this will help remove whatever is causing your bad contact.

6. Let the solution dry for 6 minuites or so

7. Put your mouse back together and voila, your mouse is as good as new!

I used Deoxit brand Contact cleaner which is said to be the best you can get, if you want to use this just google "deoxit" with the name of your city beside it and you should find a retailer nearby. Let me know how it went, Worked like a charm for me.

There is no video nor any pictures here. Please post the video if you can, I have this problem and I can't quite see where I'm supposed to peel off the outer plastic pad.

great work on this zubba, I was looking after some instructions on how to open it, and the pictures are great!
First thing I want to point, its that when you did this, and took the pictures of your mouse, it was plugged in, the lights were on, I mean the leds, hahahaha.

The second thing is, I'm having a problem with my mouse, it seems the lubricant for the wheel has evaporated or something, and it makes an awful sound when I scroll, so, I'm thinking on opening it, and putting something to lubricate the wheel, any advices?
Please dont refer to a specific brand since I'm from South America, so something really specific wont be at sale here. And to finish, any advices on how to lift the teflon pad to take out the screws, and what to use to stick the teflon pads back into the mouse?

Thanks in advance, big big thanks for all your work on this =)


Big cheers from Bolivia!

Zethiel, I'm very happy some of this information was helpful to you.

As far as the mouse wheel sqeak/noise goes I'd reccomend visiting youtube and watching some videos on fixing the mouse wheel noises on other models. I understand other models are not the same however the theory behind fixing them for the most part are. I took information on how to fix the mamba double click problem and adapted it to the naga.

I must have peeled those Teflon pads off 5 or 6 times and they still had no problems sticking back on, however if they are being uncooperative for you I'd suggest applying a very modest amount of super glue in a few spots and spreading it VERY lightly ( you don not want excess ) Don't do this of course until you know all your mouse problems are solved.

I tried your method of fixing it Zubba, but my problem continues, maybe cause I dont have the spray you had, I live in The Netherlands and I cant find it at most shops (the ones I've checked).

What other chemical would you use instead of that Contact Cleaner?

I have heard of people using wd-40 on the clicker to also solve this problem. Go to http://blog.justfrag.com/2011/04/1 [...] zer-mouse/ for more information on using wd40 to lube the clicker.

Personally I would stick to the Deoxit, I understand that if u don't have access to a retailer this can be tough, however I did find a place in the Netherlands that carrys it, perhaps you could get it shipped from there.

I hope some of this info helps.

Hi. Thanks for the tutorial! For those in Australia who can't get Deoxit I used Servisol Electronic Clean and Lube available from Jaycar. Worked a treat.

Few insights into the problem.
(1) DSP based mouse use chip to control freeze delay between individual click, if mouse is new this could be a manufacturing defect.
(2) As mouse ages, return spring of click button loses stiffness and bounces under clicks and thus produces several clicks for one.
Tough Fix:
Open mouse replace click sensors on PCB by desoldering, switching places of sensors and resoldering.
*****Easy Fix*****
(1) Go to control Panel> Mouse >Double Click Speed and drag the slider to the middle between Slow and Fast.
(2) Download Utility MouseFix version 1.0 http://www.mediafire.com/?2cr4157s0rtnm44
(3) If rebinds keys and fixes double clicking, you can also use Left Shift as mouse click using this utility, Right Shift remains the same.

I just wanted to add my 2 cents, I was looking at this and thought, well before I take it apart.....

-I basically got my compressed air can, sprayed it in the mouse wheel section while clicking the left button. (Now this didn't work off the bat) So I then decided to blow in it myself haha. Well as it turns out, the mouse is working good as new. No taking it apart, no replacing, nothing. Just a bit of air and combined use of this guides method. :p I'm not sure how long this will last, but I will return and edit as soon as it stops working again.
