Introduction

This guide is for replacing the scroll wheel on the Razer Naga Trinity gaming mouse (RZ01-0241).  If the mouse is used for an extended period of time, the scroll wheel can become dirty or start to wear out, negatively effecting the user’s experience. A common problem that may occur is the rubber on the scroll wheel deteriorating from the oils on the hand and friction. Another problem is dirt collecting between the optical encoder and the scroll wheel (Optical Encoder Replacement). This will hinder the response time and accuracy of the user’s input. There are no special skills required to perform this replacement.

    • Using the opening tool, pry the black bracket holding the scroll wheel in place backwards until the scroll wheel housing pops out.

    You don't have to remove that part, if you're careful you can leave the mouse wheel attatched to the mainboard because it's pretty fiddly to get the feather inside again.
