Deathadder V3 Wired Suddenly Stops Working

Hi! I saw that there was a previous post about this but it was closed and moved to PMs so I’m trying my luck by making a new post.

The situations of mine are similar to theirs where my mouse was working fine so far (I’ve owned it since September of last year) and all of a sudden while I was playing a game it disconnects.

 

I’ve tried using other USB ports on my PC and reinstalling the mouse drivers as well as Synapse to no avail. It only works when in contact with certain surfaces, for example, having it on my bedsheets allows the mouse to be detected and usable AS LONG as I keep it on the bedsheet, as soon as I lift it off it disconnects shortly afterwards. It unfortunately doesn’t work at all on my mouse pad.

 

So would the only solution be buying a new mouse?

Hello,

I also have a problem with Deathadder V3 Wired where it just disconnects and reconnects constantly, everything has been tried. Changing Ports/reinstalling/updated firmware/made sure sensor is clean.

Please Support here!

Is there any solution? i have same issue too.


Is there any solution? i have same issue too.

Well, after carefully cleaning the sensor with 99% alc with a ear cleaning tip, it stops reconnecting constantly for me.

2nd Issue is, after this firmware update, the mouse starts with 1000Hz, after system boots up, then i need to re-plug the mouse into the PC for it to start using 8000hz.
It doesnt matter which Razer Synapse is installed and it doesnt matter if I go into razer synapse and change from 8khz to 125 and back again, it seems to change it to 125 but not back to 8k untill i reconnect the mouse. So yeah, at least I can get it to not reconnect again.

Im using deathadder v3 wired for months, and everytime I open my pc, It just doesnt work. I can hear connecting and disconnecting sounds over and over again. I need to replug multiple times for it to work. And sometimes, the mouse will disconnect again if I flicked to hard while playing valorant. Please help.

I found the problem. The wire is loose at the spot that connects to the mouse. If you play with the wire left and right you will see that it happens.

Un install the razer software, this has been an issue since 2020 according to other posts with similar problems.

I have the same issue and i did remove the software, fixed my problem. then i installed it again and the problem returned.

The software is bugged and Razer is very well aware of this but chooses to do nothing about it. “goes for most versions of their mouse software”

Yup thats whats happening with mine……..

Razer are you gonna warranty this??


Hey Guys, this just happened to mine too, I plugged it in to another computer and it is still not working. I just was using it normally for my work and it just stopped working on its own. Not sure what to do, I think I’ve bought it a year ago, and for it to just stop, its really disappointing

So what i had done is to push along the nylon lines from the usb to the other end to make it tighter around the usb part. It should temporary fix it for awhile, but after sometime you need to do it again. (You can do it the other way around. Pull/pushing from the mouse tip to the other end.)

Hi guys,

I have the same issue and i solved by uninstalling the driver named deathadder v3 in the device administrator and razer synapse app. 

My hipothesis is that windows became crazy and trys to have 2 drivers (deathather v3 and generic mouse) for the same device wich is a very bad idea. I guess if you want to maintain razer synapse and controll over the mouse dpis and more you should uninstall the generic mouse but i don’t try and take my word carefully.

 

Hope this helps you

Hey guys, i  was facing the same issue and i think this might help.  in Razer center there is a setting called calibration for tracking cut off point. so maybe if we change it to high instead of low it might not cut off. I havent had a chance to test it in game but atleast its not cutting when i lift it side ways to reposition my mouse.

Hope it helps :)


I have installed the FIrmware: Razer DeathAdder V3 Firmware Updater | RZ01-04640
Now it seems to work.

Hope i could help someone.

USB can’t be pushed in securely - it has to be lightly connected. If the connection is “too” secure  It will charge but lose functionality.  Its a design flaw,

Here is the troubleshooting for USB connection drops.

First, the situation. Since V3 is delivered with firmware v1, it is connected and Synapse is installed. After that, firmware v2 is installed but disconnects remain.

 

Only 4 check:

You can download USBDeview  and uninstall everything that is not green marked and klick on  uninstall selected drivers icon. If the disconnect appears you can see it  marked grey. It saves the history thats all.

 

Fix:

Plug in mice at usb 3 gen 2 slot.

Step 1 Go control panel, device manager, mice and uninstall  DA V3 driver by right klick and marked remove dirver to delete complete.

Mice should be shown with standart mice driver.

Uninstall synapse v4 complete. restart and reinstall without croma app. (not shure its needed but thats what i did)

Log in to acc and let synapse download the rest and install. after all done restart pc.

disconnect should be gone im testing it for hours but if it dont work i let you know.

When I plug my Deathadder V3, in Windows Device Manager it only shows up as “HID-compliant mouse”, but the mouse doesn’t work at all.
When I plug my Deathadder Elite in the same port, it shows up correctly as “Razer Deathadder Elite” and works fine. What’s going on?

Having the same issue, when I plug in pressing left, right and scroll buttons together it flashes a green light but windows does not recognise it.

Any ideas?
