No 400DPI In driver v6.00?

by mEzame7a • 12 Feb 2007, 19:24 • Journals
Hello all,

I wanted to know why the DPI can only be set to 800 or 1600, and not 400 with this driver?
I've just purchased my first Razer Diamondback Plasma, and installed this driver directly. But I'm rather dissapointed to see that I can't change the DPI to 400.

Anyone has any idea?

its somewhere in there, try looking for advanced settings (x/y axis stuff)
its at the bottom of that screen, giving you the option to choose between 400 and 1600 dpi

otherwise I suggest you just use the Pro Razer solution drivers, its basicly the same mice. maybe you will need to edit the drivers.inf to recognize your db as a pro solution. Heres an explenation on how to do it:

QuoteQ: How do I make the Razer drivers work for my mouse?
A: Since many asks about it, I will explain how you can make it work with all mice. When you install drivers for a mouse, and the drivers recognize it. It's because each mouse has it's own "ID" number. You need to know what "ID" your mouse has.
Lets use mx510 as an example:

1. Unpack the mw980enu.exe to any folder (selfextracting files can be unpacked if you didn't know).
2. There is a folder called "Win2K_XP", and inside that folder there is a file called "Lm2kplus.inf".
3. Open it in any texteditor. Search for "mx510". It will find something looking like this:
HID\VID_046D&PID_C01D.DeviceDesc = "HID-compliant MX510 Optical Mouse"
5. Search for "mx310", and you get this:
HID\VID_046D&PID_C01B.DeviceDesc = "HID-compliant MX310 Optical Mouse"
6. Yes, you saw it. The "ID" for mx510 is "C01D", and for mx310 it's "C01B".
7. All you need now is to install the razer drivers. Don't bother about any error messages.
8. Look for the folder "Karna" or "Razer"(different versions) after installation in the "Program Files" folder.
9. Look for "Razer.inf" in the driver folder. Open it in a text editor. Look for something like this:
%Karna.DeviceDesc0% = razerusb, HID\VID_05E3&PID_FE00 (that's their boomslang I guess)
10. Copy that string, paste it on a new line underneath. And make it look like this:
%Karna.DeviceDesc0% = razerusb, HID\VID_046D&PID_C01D
11. Save the file, go to your Device Manager, select the mouse. Go to the tab saying "Driver".
Click on update, "Install from a list or specific location". Then "Don't seach. I will blabla".
12. When a new window opens, click "Have disk". Find the "Razer.inf" file, click "Ok".
13. You should now have a "razer" mouse installed on your pc. Usb is hotplugable, no need to reboot.
14. Any problems? Then you probably wrote the "ID" wrong, or still have the mouse in ps2 :P gl


€: actually im playing with wmo again, the diamondback / prosolution just doesnt feel right :/

Hey Over,

I hoped that you would reply. I already searched through the "advanced settings", but nothing there. Only 800 - 1600 DPI. 400 is nowhere to be found.

I removed the new driver and installed the one that was given on the CD. And guess what... in "advanced settings" 400 DPi is now available, but no 800. So on driver v6.0 it's 800 - 1600 and on driver v5.90 it's 400 -1600.

just use 5.9 then :P
or use 6.0 if you got a fast pc, 800 dpi shouldnt be much of a problem once you start using high fps / high mouserate / high resolutions.

Hehehe ja klopt :)

I am using the 5.0.9.0 right now. I should be getting a new processor and graphic card in about a month or so, with which I can play at r_mode 6 whilst having a stable 125 FPS :D. So 800 DPI/500 HZ wouldn't be a problem then. Ofcourse.., I hope by then that the Deathadder will be better available and not having the little problems it's having now, so that i can test that one aswell.

You can use the old one (v.5.0.9.0) you'll be able to switch to 400DPI, does the new one include a mouserate switcher?

Hey Dr3am,

Thanks for the info, I too found out that the driver on the CD, v5.0. 9.0 contained the 400 DPI instead of 800. It's pretty weird though. one might think that those newer drivers would be "better".

Actually those v6.0 are more stable when it comes to "overclocking" the mouse to 500 hz. With the v6.0 500 HZ was more stable than with the v.5.0.9.0 version. It's jumping alot more now. But hey,it's a small price to pay.

Here are some pictures of the new driver.

Maybe I'll give it a try again in the future, but for now, the 400 DPI is what I wanted :D
