Stopped working #139

Closed DafelixCly closed 1 year ago

DafelixCly commented 1 year ago

I have a Razer mouse, a Basilisk v3 and I'm using arch. It was working perfect untill 2 or 3 days ago. Now it detects the mouse, but changing the DPI or RGB settings does nothing on the actual mouse.

So the device is still detected properly but you cannot change any settings, right?

Did you change anything about your setup since it worked?

DafelixCly commented 1 year ago

I figured it out. The thing is that this mouse have 5 presets saved on memory. I didn't notice at first, but apparently Razergenie only works with the default one. It would be nice if it worked with the other 4 presets, but I'm fine with just one working.

Can you give any details on that? I'm not too familiar with presets feature.

DafelixCly commented 1 year ago

Ok, I will try. So in the Basilisk v3 you have 9 buttons + one that is normally used to change the preset. On the synapse app you can change the DPI, the free spin of the wheel and reassign any button to anything (including keyboard keys and comands), and then assign all that to a preset. The mouse has an internal memory, and can save 4 + 1 presets. The first is always the last preset you modified, and the other 4 are the ones you decide. For example, on my mouse I have the Default one, one for Lost Ark, one for Minecraft, one for League of Legends and one for Firefox. Underneath the mouse there is a button and a LED. When you press the button the preset changes and the LED changes color (white, red, green, blue and kinda cyan) corresponding to the preset you are using.

Weird, can you open an issue in the openrazer repo for this detailing this behavior? If you want to be sure you can also try polychromatic which is a different frontend than RazerGenie but I doubt this would change anything.

Like I said, since I now know that the problem is with the selected preset, I don't really have a problem at all. Also, I just can't get polychromatic to work on my PC, so for now I will just use a VM to change settings on Synapse and live with it. Thank you for everything.
