Ive had my Basilisk for around maybe 1 and a half years and just recently i unplugged it from my pc and used it on my macbook. Usually after plugging it in my macbook and back to my pc again it would work normally, but when i tried it around a aweek ago it started having problems like sudden disconnects and reconnects that wont stop.Today when i turned on my pc it was working normally but suddenly it disconnected and there was a loud buzzing noise and when i reconnected it it just kept disconnecting and reconnecting and just not work and the lights just dimly flashed around every second.For me the mouse is very expensive and very comfortable so i wanna ask if I can fix it as it is the best mouse ive used so far.
Question
Razer Basilisk V3 (wired) constant connect and disconect
Hey! I am facing same issue it was working fine till yesterday and all of a sudden it stopped working, like it tries to connect and disconnects immediately from my laptop. Please let me know if you have any solution this issue.Thank you.
I have a Razer Basilisk V3 - wired version and went through this.
Tried everything, firmware, driver removal and reinstall, Synapse reinstall, different USB port, different PC, etc etc.
Massive waste of time, and it seems Razer don’t even reply on their own support site.
Eventually found a comment on a thread here and somewhere on reddit about the free wheel scroll actuator failing. It seems to be pretty common for people with this mouse but no real information around.
With Razer’s complete lack of help for anyone outside of their warranty period, regardless of how widespread this issue is, I made a video to help people.
If you cut only the thin ribbon cable leading to the free scroll actuator, you will disable it and the mouse will be functional again but will only have tactile scroll.
You can test if this is your issue before proceeding by unplugging the ribbon cable and testing if the mouse powers up before cutting it.
