    So I got a razer copperhead mouse it dosn't have support for OS X so I was using USB over drive to give it some better support instead of just plug and play. Now I went to boot into XP to play some left 4 dead, and my mouse won't work, it does not detect it. I have a feeling because the mouse has like 32 mb of memory that USB overdrive messed something up so now it won't work in windows. ( I tired it on other XP machines and it still did not work)

    Has anyone else had this problem? Or use USB over drive with this mouse and us windows?

    The razer tech support was not much help, they just told me to send it back to where I got it after a couple trouble shooting emails.

    Weird, I didnt think that usb overdrive actually wrote stuff onto the mouses internal memory.

    But have you tried reflashing using the razer config program? And the mouse only works in osx now, not windows? even stranger.

    Might be the easiest thing to send it back in and get a replacement. Theyre always good like that.

    I can't re flash because it won't detect it. And yes it only works in OS X
