Default Info: Deathadder USB Device Not Recognised
If you are receiving this message, then your Deathadder is broken. It's as simple as that. There are no fixes for this other than sending it back.

This has happened to countless users, including me, from what I can see.

Symptoms:

Wheel light glows but razer logo does not flash any more.
Computer does not start up when the mouse is plugged in.
When plugged into any computer, it says "USB Device Not Recognised"

Causes:

When using drivers v1.05 and firmware 1.21:
DPI changes and Polling rate changes in the drivers
Changing profiles using the button on the underside of the mouse
Incorrect flashing of firmware (to a lesser degree - this often causes other problems)

The root cause of this appears to me that the memory inside the mouse has become corrupt when trying to change various settings. There is no "reset" button as such, so this cannot be solved from what I can see.

Just thought I would give make this information available, in case anybody else has this problem in the future. If anybody finds a fix for this, or develops one, I'll add it in here.

Oh, that sucks. Is this like, some kind of sudden widespread occurrence? I'm getting my DeathAdder tomorrow via Newegg.

I dont think i've heard of mice breaking so much.

My mate has had 2 Razors break on him. One just broke and the other one, the wire inside the mouse became loose and stopped responding.

His new one sometime just stops working and he has to unplug and replug it in to get it working again...

I would have stopped buying Razor mice after the first fail if I 'liked' them

Well I posted this to help people out so it doesn't matter when people reply What I said still applies, I could've posted it a year ago, or last week.

And for an update, there is still no fix for this.
