Very odd
sometimes when i'm in games, my mouse stops working, and i hear the sound like it's being unplugged and plugged back in

it is plugged in
imma try new drivers, cause they should have W7 drivers out by now

and i might have just answered my own question, maybe the cable is going bad, though it hasn't happened out of game yet.

yeah there's a break in the cable up front and it only loses contact when i move it a certain way

looks like i need to break out the electrical tape ?
Buy a new mouse or simply replace the cable?

If there is a break, taping it is a poor fix. You are best off soldering the break first.

i was thinking of maybe cutting it and taping the wires back together, how many are there in USB?


nvm i can see there's five, on another exposed part

although i've been looking at the new deathadder anyways

nothing worked for me yet
i'm going to have to fix the wires
i had a mouse problem the other day...

it was the first series of days it was below freezing... so my guess is they all came in from the cold.  caught 8 in traps within a day - none since... so I think we've won the war 8-0..

oh.. .wait... other mice.

I had the exact same problem last week. I just got frustrated and bought:

Pretty happy with it so far.
