Razer + USB = Sad Panda

by Soprano • 3 Dec 2007, 19:49 • Forums › Technology
Hellos there,

A friend of mine has some trouble with his new Razer Deathadder.

The USB-Port keeps disconnecting from time to time.

He installed new drivers, firmware etc. but nothing worked + he doesn't have an asus mainboard.

Any suggestions?

thx in advance

:/ most likely the cable inside the mouse is broken

if its the same in all ports then its a problem with the mouse. Razer mice are notorious for having poor cables. I send it back and ask for a replacement. It's a shame because they are decent mice just seems a lot of them are poorly made.

nope its not a broken cable- me and a friend of mine have the same problem ( and he has even a logitech mouse)
well i cant imagine what the reason is, but if i restart the computer it works for some minutes, then it disconnects again.

risee 3 Dec 2007, 20:14
how do you know it's not a broken cable?
i got the same problem with like 3 or 4 mice already and i was told it's probably a broken cable by logitech. Not disconnecting all the time and working for some minutes doesn't mean much, i got the same with my old mouse like 2-3 weeks ago. Since i got my new mouse it's fine again.

well it started since i downloaded a program, and sometimes even my keyboard doesnt work-- but i cant imagine that a program could be a reason for that-
all i know is that its reallly no broken cable, my friend bought a new mouse and he still has that problems... and he has the same program as me

have you seen logitech g5 cable?
Parent

Soprano 3 Dec 2007, 20:23
Don't think it's a broken cable either, because it works for 5 minutes and then it disconnects every minute

phobeus 3 Dec 2007, 20:36
well i had this problem with my old diamondback, i think he has got some mouse problem as well, but i dont know about any problem to DA.

USB 1.1 perhaps? Should be ok with 2.0.

Orrr reset the ports to default 125Hz, try that...

this is a VERY common problem with razer mice that DISGUSTS MY SOUL considering their prices.

Basically it is because of the fucking cheap tacky connection as the cable goes into the mouse. The wires can very easily become exposed at the join and short each other out causing disconnects.

I had to open up my razer and with pliers break a peice of plastic off, then SQUISH the wire into a fixed position and use EXTREMELY strong glue to cement it in that position and put the case back on and let it set.

Really gay. ALL my friends who got razer had this problem. If its still in guarantee he should get another.

find old usb mouse, replace cable

u'll have to rearrange the wires inside the cable because razer wants to be special but if ur fingers are not too thick its not that hard
