Razer DeathAdder

[eightiescrooner]

Hi,

I have just purchased a Razer DeathAdder mouse

but i'm having a rather large problem with it.


Whenever I move the mouse and then release the mouse the cursor keeps going in that direction, slowly and stuttering.


Now I have updated the drivers AND firmware, but it's still doing it

I have also tried the mouse on another PC and the same problem....


Any ideas?


P.S - Its a corded USB mouse

That's quite bizarre... just to double check what you mean, you're basically saying if you move the mouse left and then let go it'll continue to move left until it hits the edge of the screen? Same if you move the mouse right/up/down?

I would check the surface that you are using the mouse on, and if possible get some other things to try the mouse on top of. Go for something matte and not glossy, and also not red in colour.

Happened with my old dell optical with the desk, when I got a mousepad it stopped though.

Its not just me then Ive just bought one and have the exact same problem, getting to the point where it nearly unusable

I tried mine on a piece of paper and it stopped, but I then get a different problem, very bad stuttering when I lift the mouse off the surface during normal use..this turned out to be far more annoying so im back on the table.

Seems to me there just very picky about what there on Ive tried 4 other mice (3 opticals and a laser) on the same surface and none of them have any probs.

yeah, to be honest this mouse is practically unusable and i've been looking elsewhere for solutions and other people with this mouse are saying I need to buy a razer mouse pad

now to spend another £16 on top of the £40 i spent on this mouse is just unacceptable, I'll be returning it ASAP

very dissapointed

I know how you feel, before I bought it I was under the impression it would work on just about anything..

Im undecided at the minute on whether to send it back or get a mouse mat..Ill prob end up doing the later but I havent had to use one of those for years.

It's an extra expense yes, but if you're already spending that kind of money on a mouse then surely it makes sense to have a decent surface to use it on?

 

[eightiescrooner]

Not when Razer don't tell you before you buy the item that you *MAY* need it

 

[Nullvoid]

I guess they maybe assume that anyone considering buying a mouse like that would already have a pad of some kind? *shrug*

 

[eightiescrooner]

well they shouldn't do really.
