Razer Lancehead firmware broke my Razer Lancehead wireless

Okay, so my mouse was acting up on me and I decided to try and update the firmware on it. I stupidly forgot that there was a difference between a Razer Lancehead and a Razer Lancehead Wireless so I just downloaded the first firmware I found, which was the wrong one. Funny thing is the the Razer Lancehead mouse firmware installed just fine but has completely take away all of the wireless aspect of my mouse. I am also stuck with an error in device manager . I know I am stupid for doing this to myself but how could Razer allow the firmware to install on such similarly named devices, I feel like it should of been able to tell that it was the wrong device and not installed. Anyways, looks like I have a fully wired mouse now, not the worse thing that could of happened but man I would really like to be able to fix this, does anyone know how i can rollback the mouse firmware to the proper one? Installing it the same way I mistakenly did it the first time doesn't seem to work.
