Razer Naga moves slowly right

First thing first: This only happens in 2 games: Battlefield 3 and ArmA 2. I am unsure if it happens in BF4. My mouse works fine on my desktop, in other games like CSGO and Planetside 2, and in the menus of both BF3 and ArmA 2. I have a video at the bottom to show what I mean.

My Razer Naga Hex (Red) has been doing some very weird things. When I play ArmA 2, it works fine mostly. However, when I try to fly an air vehicle, it slowly banks right, as if I'm moving my mouse very slowly to the right. I can counteract the movement to the right fine. I can alt-look, and my looking isn't affected by it (I can still look around fine, and it stays still if I don't move my mouse).

When I'm playing Battlefield 3, it is constantly making my character aim to the right, as if I'm moving my mouse slowly to the right. Thing is, unlike ArmA, I can't actually aim. It slowly moves right if I DON'T try to move my mouse, but I tried counteracting the slow right movement, and my character aimed everywhere at once, as if I was moving my mouse around really quickly.

I have had this mouse for about a year or so, and it has worked fine up until now (with one exception I will talk about here). That exception is that at random, the mouse would spike downwards, as if I was ripping my mouse towards myself in an instant, forcing my character to look at the ground. This hasn't happened for a very long time though, but I do remember it happened for a bit. Does anyone know what that would be, my friend has this issue with his new mouse.

I also have a Razer naga, however have not experienced any problems yet. Do you have Razer synapse installed? If you have it installed remove it and see if it solves your problems, if not than just reinstall it. If this doesnt work i really don't know what could cause your problems. You should just RMA your mouse since Razer mice come with 2 years warranty.

Or maybe you have a friend who lives nearby and you try your mouse and see if it also doesn't work properly on his PC, if it does work properly on his PC than you atleast know the mouse isnt the problem.

Alright well it seems as though I'm a moron. After convincing myself that it wasn't Synapse, I took to THW, and guess what? It was Synapse. A quick reinstall did it. Thanks.

Alright, problems. It works fine without Synapse installed, but as soon as I installed it and started playing again, it continued happening. I don't really need Synapse for BF, but I changed a bunch of the thumb buttons for CSGO (because of how the keys work on the Thermaltake Challenger, I can't press the keys I need at the same time, so I bound voice chat to L, and changed numpad 1 to L through Synapse). Will I have to uninstall every time I want to play Battlefield now? It was working fine with Synapse a few days ago.

I really have no idea what causes that problem, maybe Synapse automatically selects a profile for battlefield which changes the X/Y sensitivity for that game. If this is not the cause i would have no idea, and you might wanna contact Razer (if that is even possible) or check their FAQ. If all of this is not the cause i would simply keep Synapse uninstalled.

Oh yeah, bit of a late reply, but I guess I'd like to tell you what was causing it. A joystick. That's right. A fucking joystick. It had the hat I use for TrackIR sitting on top of it, slightly pushing it to the side. I'm not sure why it only happened with Synapse installed though. It was a Logitech Attack 3 or something.
