i heard the older EC models had issues with certain surfaces. i forget if it was a hardware or firmware issue, but i heard they either fixed the firmware or fixed it in the new model.

you might try using another surface though.

i just got the mionix avior 7000, it uses the same sensor as the fk1. The ergonomics are a little bit different as it is a bit shorter. It feels more suitable for a claw grip than the fk1. They are both great mice.

My ec2-a has been incredible so far. 100 times better than the ninox aurora. Hopefully it doesn't die too :/

Sorry to derail, but how does it fare? My only minor gripe with the aurora is that it's probably a little bit too small for me. I somewhat got used to it, but a bigger mouse would probably help for sure.

are you sure it's not just a problem with the LOD? i had a similar thing constantly with my old EC2 eVo, then i bought the EC2-A which has customizable LOD, put it at the maximum, and it works like a charm

Firerock-are you sure it's not just a problem with the LOD? i had a similar thing constantly with my old EC2 eVo, then i bought the EC2-A which has customizable LOD, put it at the maximum, and it works like a charmits m4+m1+m2 and then connect right?
didnt work :( thx tho

check if there's anything weird with the cable or usb port, try and swapping port if you haven't done that yet, try it on another pc, etc.. other than this, i don't think theres much else to say, if after all these kind of tries it keeps giving you problems it's probably faulty, try and ask for an RMA

Sounds to me like maybe your mouse cord has a short in it. Happens on all mice. You may be able to buy a new mouse cord and replace it yourself. I've done that a few times on logitech gaming mice.

Firehmm idk theres not much about dismantling the ec1-a around so i think getting a new one is the safer option in this case. ive never rly did anything with mice except for fixing the mwheel so im not experienced with this :P
thx for the suggestion tho

I would still recommend opening it up if possible. You can still get a good mouse, but if it is an easy fix, then why not fix it and have a backup mouse, as well as the knowledge of how to fix a mouse in the future?

Most likely you will need to pry off the mouse feet which are probably secured by an adhesive. Use a small flat head screw driver or knife or something to carefully lift up these feet. If done carefully they may be re-usable. Then most likely there will be 2 or more screws. Unscrew those to take the casing apart. Then look at how the mouse cord is attached to the PCB board. Most likely its some kind of 5 pin plug. It might use the exact same connector as logitech uses. You could take a picture of it if you do end up opening the mouse up.
