Weird mouse scrolling issues

Hey everyone, I’m dealing with this weird glitch with my Razer mouse. Every time I boot up my PC, it takes a few minutes for the thing to actually wake up—like, I have to sit there waiting for the RGB lights to finally kick in. The funny part is, even before the lights turn on, the mouse actually works; I can right-click and mess with my sensitivity settings just fine.

Once it finally decides to "wake up," half the time the scroll wheel just refuses to work vertically. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s totally dead. I’ve already updated all my drivers, but when I check Device Manager, it still just shows up as a generic HID-compliant mouse using standard Microsoft drivers.

The weirdest part? I can scroll left, right, or even diagonally without any issues. It’s just that straight up-and-down scrolling that keeps ghosting me.

Have you tried plugging it into a different USB port yet? That might actually fix the issue for you

Fired up the PC this morning and it’s actually running better. It still stutters a bit when I scroll up and down, but at least it isn't totally frozen like it was last night.

I went through the exact same thing. You pick up this top-tier mouse, thinking you're set, and then after a while, the scroll wheel starts acting possessed—jumping pages like crazy. I took it in for repair, and the guy tells me they have to ship it all the way to Washington, D.C. just to look at it, and by the time you factor in shipping and labor, it’s looking like $100. Honestly? I just gave up and bought a new one.
