Introduction
After extensive use or a large period of time, the Razer Deathadder Essential’s (Model Number: RZ01-0254) mouse buttons may begin to double-click. Double-clicking is when the user only gives one input but receives 2 outputs.
In this guide, I will show you how to replace the buttons so that they will be brand new!
Before getting started, if you are unfamiliar with how to solder and desolder components from a motherboard, please read this guide.

you helped me a lot
My scroll wheel was totally messed up, when I would scroll in down, it would randomly scroll up for for a split second, and vice versa. This guide was super helpful in figuring out how to take apart the mouse and clean out the scroll wheel sensor, which turned out to have a ton of cat hair wrapped around the axle.
