My mouse keeps dying

Hello, about 5 days ago my mouse started to die every 5 minutes and it wouldn't come back on for a good 20 seconds. This has been affecting my play a lot because my mouse usually dies in last pushes or when we are pushing out. I use a steel-series sensei. I tried connecting my mice to different ports, the same thing still happens. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Well, if the mouse is still under warranty just get it replaced. If not, looks like you'll need to buy a new mouse.

P.S. Protip to keep your mouse cable in better shape where the cable meets the mouse: Use some scotch tape to secure the cable and whatever slack you need to your monitor's stand. That will prevent a lot of extra stress on the cable and greatly reduce the chance of failure in that particular area.

Put it in a toaster, maybe it will help melt it back into shape.

Honestly it probably isn't the brand that is wrong. I got a sensei from a friend after he used it for 6 months because he didnt like how big it was, and I've been using it for a year with no difficulties. Any mouse can last long if you take good care of it.

If it's not under warranty after 5 months, you should have known better than to buy it. A sign that the product is shitty and won't last if they won't refund it for free (or maybe shipping bullshit, but still less than buying a new one).

Contact Steelseries and they'll give you an RMA. I've always had good experiences with their products and customer service. Asking people on an internet forum for help with broken hardware is usually a bad idea if you've not contacted the manufacturer first. You will mostly just get biased "information" without finding out what's caused the defect or what your options are in the way of a refund or replacement.

Have you fixed this issue yet?
Try upgrading your driver or try *downgrading* your driver.
I actually had an issue with my mouse where downgrading the driver fixed it from randomly disconnecting, its hard to find older versions you need to either use windows restore or find one online.

ToasterHello, about 5 days ago my mouse started to die every 5 minutes and it wouldn't come back on for a good 20 seconds. This has been affecting my play a lot because my mouse usually dies in last pushes or when we are pushing out. I use a Logitech G400. I tried connecting my mice to different ports, the same thing still happens. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
