synapse wont detect deathadder essential, windows reads usb gaming mouse and HID compliant mouse in device manager. I just ordered it from walmart, it still wont detect even though its brand new. I've tried restarting my pc uninstalling it but nothing works it still just wont get detected by synapse. I've done all recommended troubleshooting and trying everyone's suggestions in reddit, YouTube and all over google. still nothing. its in a main usb port also.

How it’s detected in Windows device manager? Any screenshot of it?

Try Synapse clean reinstall:

  1. Uninstall Synapse
  2. Download & run this tool: https://rzr.to/Tf53xj to remove any razer drivers/leftovers
  3. Then restart your PC
  4. After reboot install Synapse again (you can download the latest Synapse 4: https://www.razer.com/synapse-4 ) and run it as administrator.

it shows as an HID-compliant mouse

 


I am having similar issues. The mouse does work with the computer when it is plugged in but it does not appear in the Synapse software so that I can change any of the settings.

 

I also have the Ornata V3 X Keyaboard which connected to the software with no issues.

Was it detected in Synapse before?

If not then post a photo of the mouse bottom (connected to PC) with s/n visible.


No I have never been able to get it to show in Synapse.

It's fake, that's why you cannot get it detected in Synapse.

I bought from Amazon. So I should get a refund and buy somewhere else? I thought they would have been a fairly safe place to purchase legitimate Razor products.

Contact amazon that you have been scammed, and want to return the product.

i bought this exact same one? how can it be fake.. i think its more razer poor software as aways

 


Ladies and gents, this is the “Razer” deathadder essential you have bought, please double check with your device in details

HID\VID_18F8&PID_1286&REV_0100&MI_00 HID\VID_18F8&PID_1286&MI_00 HID\VID_18F8&UP:0001_U:0002 HID_DEVICE_SYSTEM_MOUSE HID_DEVICE_UP:0001_U:0002 HID_DEVICE

How it really should look like is:


HID\VID_1532&PID_005C&REV_0100
HID\VID_1532&PID_005C
HID\VID_1532&UP:0001_U:0002
HID_DEVICE_SYSTEM_MOUSE
HID_DEVICE_UP:0001_U:0002
HID_DEVICE

Guys do yourselves a favor and return this product asap, it’s fake and synapse will never support it.

Hey ​@retrofeverTurquoise614,

For security reasons, I would suggest removing the photo of the serial number of your mouse from your post. Upon checking, please be advised that I can not verify the serial number in our system. I would highly suggest that you get in touch with your reseller for a refund. Just send me a PM for any other concerns.
