Razer DeathAdder V3 mouse polling rate issue

Hi,

I’m experiencing a strange issue with my wired Razer DeathAdder V3 mouse.

After powering on or restarting my PC, Razer Polling Rate Tester shows the mouse running at 125 Hz, even though Synapse 4 is set to 1000 Hz. If I manually set the polling rate to 2000 Hz, the tester shows 250 Hz, and when I set it to 8000 Hz, it actually shows 1000 Hz.

Additionally, once it settles at 1000 Hz, pressing the DPI button on the underside of the mouse (for example, switching to 800 DPI) causes the polling rate to drop back down to 125 Hz.

After that, it seems to stay at 1000 Hz regardless of which polling rate option I select, as long as I don’t change the DPI setting.

At first, I suspected my ASUS Z790-F motherboard’s USB 2.0 ports might be causing the issue, but the same behavior happens when I connect the mouse to a USB 3.1 blue port.

I have already updated the mouse firmware to v1.02.00_r1.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or know what could be causing this? The mouse is nearly new and has only been used for a couple of days.

Thanks!

I think I have narrowed down the issue: it has something to do with handshake/enumeration between usb controller ASMedia (usb 3.1 gen 1) or Genesys (2.0/21) and DeathAdder V3 which should but does not happen during Z790-F boot up until Win11 loading screen. When I do hot-swap of mouse during desktop usage, it immediately registers as High Speed usb 2.0 device and allows polling rate up to 8000.  Not sure if additional firmwire update could fix this issue ?
