Plug the Mouse into Another USB Port<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The quickest fix that I've found for this issue is to unplug the Razer wireless adapter or USB end of the mouse from the USB port at the back of your computer and then connect it to any of the other USB ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the more common causes of this problem is a malfunctioning USB port, so this is the quick fix for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Update_the_Razer_Synapse_Software\"><\/span>2.

Clean the Mouse Sensor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In some instances, cleaning the sensor at the bottom of your mouse is the fix you need. Your mouse uses the sensor to \u201csee\u201d, so making sure it isn\u2019t dirty can solve your problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic procedure for cleaning your mouse is straightforward. If it\u2019s a bit dirtier than usual though, I\u2019ve added some additional tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You should start by simply blowing into the bottom of the mouse to clean off any loose dust or dirt. If this doesn't work, you'll need to try something else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The second stage involves putting rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and wiping the sensor clean. I find that this works for me most of the time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you're willing to, you can search for videos of how to disassemble and deep clean the sensor for your particular Razer model. After all, there are multiple models of this mouse, so you want to make sure you're following the right steps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Razer-Naga-Trinity-Gaming-Mouse.jpg\" alt=\"Razer Naga Trinity Gaming Mouse\" class=\"wp-image-4049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Razer-Naga-Trinity-Gaming-Mouse.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Razer-Naga-Trinity-Gaming-Mouse-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Try_Out_a_Different_Mat_or_Mousepad\"><\/span>4.

This is thanks to the numerous extra buttons that they come with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a lot of people complain that their Razer Naga stops moving randomly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are quite a few reasons why you might have to face this issue with your Razer Naga mouse, and they include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You have a faulty USB port. This causes the USB plug or wireless receiver to make unstable contact with the port. This means that a slight jolt can suddenly cause the mouse to disconnect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The surface you're using your Razer Naga mouse on is not ideal. This causes problems when the sensor tries to get information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sensor for the mouse is dirty. This prevents the mouse's sensor from reading data as you move it around, and instead, it simply doesn't respond.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are bugs or glitches in Razer Synapse, which is the software that comes with each Razer gaming mouse. It handles a lot of the added features that the mouse provides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Naga is not properly calibrated. The sensor in the Naga needs to be reset or properly set up with the surface that it is on. This helps immensely with accuracy, and if your Razer Naga stops moving randomly, it might be because you need to fix your surface calibration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MOBA-_-MMO-Gaming-Mouse-Razer-Naga-Trinity.jpg\" alt=\"MOBA _ MMO Gaming Mouse - Razer Naga Trinity\" class=\"wp-image-4048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MOBA-_-MMO-Gaming-Mouse-Razer-Naga-Trinity.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MOBA-_-MMO-Gaming-Mouse-Razer-Naga-Trinity-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more resources<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get your Naga mouse working perfectly by trying a new port on your computer, cleaning the sensor with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol, updating Synapse, or using it on a new mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also make sure it is calibrated with whatever platform you place it on while playing on your computer.
