Razer DeathAdder 2013 - no mouse cursor in most games

[bentremblay]

I've never seen anything like this!

My Logitech G9-X broke and I bought this as a temporary replacement.
To my amazement (cuz it's working just fine with all apps under Win7-64) many games now have no mouse cursor.
E.g. ArmA works fine; DCS World there just barely a flicker of a pointer as I move the mouse; WarGame: AirLand not the slightest hint of a pointer.
Everything had been working fine.

Brand new mouse ...
... it's like being back in 1992!

thanks in advance for any advice

p.s. I disabled the Logitech using Device Manager, and stopped its utility from auto-running.

Try downloading the drivers for it.

Try uninstalling logitech utility and drivers from ur computer first and then install the drivers for ur razer deathadder.

I doubt logitech drivers are interfering and he disabled it so them drivers aren't active.

Yup.
And it's newly installed. With the Razer utility freshly updated.

Darned odd how it only affects some games.

I feel that the installed games are still trying to use the now disabled logitech drivers and not the newly installed razer ones.
Can u try...

I might. But I do tech for a living. I'm really not fond of voodoo solutions.
Here's my thinking: Game A works fine; game B shows only pointer flicker; game C shows nothing at all.
And this is something that I've never ever seen before. Having no mouse pointer at all would make some sort of sense! But this?
Almost as though Razer's drivers don't understand those games.
Which gives me a next step: I'll post to forums for those games specifically.

Razer support just replied.
They sent me fullsome advice on how to reduce lag.

p.s. works just fine in TotalWar: Shogun 2 ... go figure.

How bizarre is this: after having done pret'near everything I and others could think of, just on a whim I went into WarGame: Airland Battle and by moving the mouse around blindly managed to get into Video Settings.
Still moving blindly, I managed to switch Resolution ... total rubber-chicken voodoo. No effect.
On a whim, I toggled settings from FullScreen to Windowed.

Yup, you guessed it: cursor magically appeared.
Totally bizarre/absurd.

p.s. unfortunately there's no such setting to toggle in DCS.
