Greetings Humans,
I have been using Razer Orochi V2 for quite some time, Its a great compact mouse for work (and gaming ofc :>) Due to some some issue the scroll wheel stopped working and it glitches out while using, So me being me decided to straight up open it and look inside.
I had little bit of experience repairing mouses when I got my Logitech G102 where it was constantly having double clicking issues.
Logitech G102 PCB
So, when my new Razer orochi’s scroll wheel decided to stop working on me, I was pretty sad and happy that I get to repair it.
Getting into the Guts
Popping off the cover its pretty straight forward spotting the screws and opening it.
Unscrewing time .. Very repairable ofcourse
Be careful when removing the upper lid as the battery and DPI button wires are attached to the top plastic housing (Unfortunately I havent gotten enough photos)
When you do carefully unplug the wires for the battery and DPI button here’s what you see inside.
Unscrewing more screws to get the PCB out… You’ll notice the first thing
It’s Absolutely TINY!!!!
Like here’s the comparision between the Logitech G102 vs Orochi V2’s PCB
After some gawking about thinking of custom 3D Printed chassy for Orochi v2 like something Optimum did for the Logitech G superlight pro
I was legit tempted by it but alas, I didn’t want to ruin the perfectly good chassy of orochi and all. So the main culprit is the broken Rotary Encoders
Desoldering time
With some desolder pump + desolding patience … (Painful work later)
ITS OUT !!
Rotary Encoders
Now I’ve ordered some 9mm Kailh Dustproof Encoders off from Esckeys.in
Soldering time
So now Soldering this thing back in with some careful soldering :>
Now just doing the same process backwards of screwing back in the PCB, putting back in the connector for top chassy, Screwing everything in.
Works flawlessly :3
