    Are all Razer mice USB connectors really tight?

    I was using a Razer DeathAdder and found the USB connector had a VERY tight fit into the USB port on my computer. Is this like this only for the DeathAdder or all Razer mice?

    You sure it's the mouse and not your computer? I have two DeathAdders, and they both fit the same. On my laptop ports, they're firm but not too tight (except for the USB/eSATA port, but that's normal). Hell, on my desktop's front USB ports, the damn things almost fall right out of the ports.

    Try different ports.

    I know it's not my computer as the DeathAdder is the only thing that has a tight fit.

    well...unless ur mouse's usb cable is off by +0.01mm from manufacturing error, then it is most likelyur desktop.

    im saying the former, u have a mouse with usb connector dimension a bit more than the norm.

    Shouldnt be tight, firm at most. Check that both sides have not been damaged
