Razer mice and Windows Vista

**Agent** · 03-22-09, 08:41 PM

Seriously do these mice even fucking work with vista? (death adder) I plug it in, windows doesnt recognize it, I install the drivers, reboot, windows doesnt fuckign recognize it. I go to the razerzone website and try to go to the link to download the VISTA DRIVERS and i get some Firefox cant connect to the link whitescreen BULLSHIT!

Whats the point of making a product that doesnt fucking work? Is there some joy in pissing off your customers to the point that they want to castrate their own manhood?

Drivers dont work. no detection. cant upgrade or download the new drivers.

Did I just hit a fucking 55 dollar brick wall?

Im running a death adder with Windows Vista 64.

When you plug it in does the mouse even work at all? Is it recognizing it as a generic mouse?

I uploaded the drivers from Razer's site to Mediafire just for you:

I believe the installation is like any other Razer, plug the mouse in, run the driver install, restart. Remember that Tab and Enter can be used to move the focus and to select an entry if you need to select things sans mouse (although Vista should've recognized it as a basic mouse).

If that doesn't work, try other USB ports.

Wow this is fucking sad.

Fresh install of the 1.09 drivers AND STILL FUCKING NOTHING .

When I boot up the razer control panel it detects the mouse but I cant fucking USE IT?

Then when I unplug the death adder mouse and plug in my regular usb mouse it fucking detects it right away. What the fuck?! who makes a product that doesnt WORK? IT SAYS COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA RIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE GOD DAMNED BOX?!?

ITs a mouse. You plug it in and it should fucking work. You shouldnt have to sit and look at your computer like a fucking idiot wondering why it doesnt work.

FUCK.
