So my Corsair Raptor M40 mouse just quit responding on me.


 


I left for work today and shut my computer off, the mouse was working just fine.


 


8 hours later I come home, and I turn on my rig, and the damn mouse isn't moving.  So I plug it into different ports, still nothing.


I plugged in my secondary crap USB 5$ mouse, and navigated to the windows mouse and keyboard center and dug around in the control panel to see whats up.


Everything checks out saying it works fine, the light is illuminated on the Corsair logo, so it's receiving power through the cord from the USB port, so that cord isn't damaged, and it isn't visually damaged either.


 


So I re-downloaded the drivers for my mouse from corsairs website, and tried installing them again, still nothing.


And as I type this, it's quite difficult because if I so much as tap the mouse while it's plugged in, along with my other mouse that I'm using it instantly shoots the cursor up to the very top left hand corner of my screen.


 


So the mouse is receiving power, it's sensor is working because it shoots to the corner when it is moved, and the drivers are up to date, as well as not being damaged visually in any way.


 


So WTH is going on?  I had a power issue a few minutes after I got home when I booted up my PC.  My breaker popped and the power in the house shut off while my Pc was booting.  Could that have killed my mouse? or would other things be not working as well if that happened?

More than likely your PSU kept your mouse from frying from a surge.

Try plugin' it into a different PC and see if it works

---- If it dose then its a driver problem.

---- If it don't your mouse is borked.
