Introduction
It is not uncommon for mice, such as the Razer Basilisk V3, to see mechanical difficulties through wear and tear of the mouse. In order to fix issues such as unregistered scrolls, double scrolling, or general friction, it might be necessary to take apart the mouse and perform a replacement.
