Razer DA v3 Pro Dongle KVM Connectivity Problems

I recently got the DeathAdder v3 Pro and have begun using it with my KVM between a Windows PC and a MacBook Pro.

I can use the mouse wirelessly on my Windows machine, switch to MacBook and still use it wirelessly without trouble, but if I try to switch from Mac to Windows, the mouse will not work unless I unplug and plug it back in. So it seems Windows → MacOS works, but MacOS → Windows does not. If I used the mouse wired, there’s no trouble at all.

Is there a setting on Windows causing this? I don’t see why the mouse would be fine to connect when switching to Mac but unable to connect when switching to Windows.

IMPORTANT: I am able to switch flawlessly back and forth with another wireless mouse I have. So I don’t believe the issue is the KVM. For the DeathAdder, I’ve tried wireless with and without the adapter.

Thanks!

I know this post is a bit old but I have the exact same behavior on my Viper V2 Pro and Blackwidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed (paired on the same dongle). I’ve got a monitor KVM set between my Windows gaming PC and another Windows laptop for work - the PC is connected to KVM via USB 3 and DisplayPort, the laptop is over Thunderbolt 4.

KVM-switching to the laptop is fine, KVM-switching back to the desktop results in loss of connectivity and I have to power cycle the monitor.

I believe the DA also uses the same “Hyperspeed” dongle that my BW and Viper use, so I have to wonder if it’s something with that technology. I also have a wired USB headset connected to the same KVM and it has no issues whatsoever.

I would also like details on this.

I have the ssame issue but Razer doesn’t seem to care much about this.
