Hello everyone, I’m having a serious issue with my Razer Viper V3 Pro and I need some help.

The mouse works normally with the wireless dongle, but whenever I connect a USB-C cable directly to the mouse, my PC immediately starts acting weird:

  • Sometimes the whole PC shuts down instantly, like a power cut

  • USB devices such as my headset and speakers start disconnecting/blinking

  • The USB-C connector becomes very hot

  • I can smell a slight burnt plastic odor from the mouse area

I already tried another cable and the same thing happened. The cable itself looks fine.

At this point I suspect:

  • a short circuit inside the mouse

  • a faulty USB-C port

  • charging IC issue

  • or battery/power problem

Has anyone experienced this before with the Viper V3 Pro or other Razer mice?
Is it safe to continue using wirelessly?
Would this usually qualify for RMA/warranty?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
