DeathAdder settings can't be adjusted

I've got a DeathAdder mouse model RZ01-0015. I think I used to adjust its setting through Synapse. However, now the application doesn't even recognize it. Anyone know how to adjust it (dpi for example)?

Maybe you can run several versions of Synapse

Yes, that's how it works.
New peripherals are Synapse 3 only supported, so if you have older device like DA 3.5G, you must install older Synapse 2.0. So you have 2 different versions of Synapse on your PC.
Thank you for responding. I discovered that you must uninstall the current version of Synapse and install an old version. I found a link for version 2 ( https://www.razer.com/synapse-2 ) and it immediately saw the mouse. So, the lesson learned is don't update Synapse unless you change Razor Hardware. I'm not sure what you'd do if you owned two pieces of their stuff and they each needed a different version? Maybe you can run several versions of Synapse, who knows? Backwards compatibility has been the standard for about 20 years.

Through Synapse ... or older standalone pre-synapse application.
But if your mouse is not detected, check if you have Valorant installed - if yes, then uninstall Riot Vanguard Anti Cheat software, because somehow it's messing with Synapse.
