tl;dr: After using razer software to indicate my razer mamba to turn of its battery status lights off, it stopped working completely in all OS's and across different PCs. Currently looking for a way to factory reset the mouse, find a way to tell the mouse to turn the lights back on without the razer config panel, or any other way to fix the problem. Thank you for your time.
Long version:
So I've been ripping my hair out with this problem I can't figure out. I recently acquired an used 2009 razer mamba mouse, which was working perfectly for the first couple of days. Unfortunately this old model doesn't seem to be compatible with razer Synapse software, but it does have its own software for editing macros and such (image below related).
This was all done on Windows 10:
Tinkering with this software, I found an option that allowed for the battery indication lights on the side of the mouse to be disabled. As I generally don't use the wireless capabilities of the mouse, I decided to see how the mouse looked with the little lights disabled. After I tried to disable this several things happened:
First, the mouse buttons stopped working, I could only move the cursor. Then, the mouse stopped working altogether, and the connect/disconnect sound from Windows was being constantly spammed. On a sidenote, this seems to have triggered high disk usage from the netsvcs process.
Things I have tried: using different USB ports; deleting and reinstalling drivers; using the mouse in ubuntu (have dual-boot set up) and its unusable even as a generic mouse (although the lights on the mouse do light up when plugged in, this is true for both win10 and ubuntu); tested on a different pc (attempts to install drivers but still unusable).
Additionally, I can't ''undo'' the change in settings because the razer software doesn't give access to the configuration panel if it doesn't detect connected razer hardware (it simply gives a message saying nothing was detected and closes).
It seems like, to fix this, I need to somehow send the signal to the mouse to turn its lights back on (or some sort of factory reset?) WITHOUT the use of the razer config panel, as the internal mouse driver seems to have been damaged.
