Razer Orochi set up question

Hey everyone/Mastershroom,

I just got my Orochi in the mail today, it looks very nice. I downloaded the Orochi firmwire 1.04 from http://www.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=39&pcid=0&nav=0
Then I ran the program, and it told me to disconnect the USB from the computer, hold the left, right, and scroll buttons, and then plug the USB in the computer, and then the firmwire updater screen gets stuck on "waiting bootloader". How do I just get the software that programs the buttons/sensitivity? I don't remember it being this complicated on the Deathadder.

Thanks!

 

the program to set button sensitivity etc is not the firmware, it's the driver.
Download the driver file and install it. Then you need to be in wired mode to do settings to your Orochi ..

As for the firmware update, follow the steps and you should be fine,
remember the power switch below must be set to Off.

 

What's firmware for?

 

for some fixes usually.. they should have a notes of the fix list in the download page..
When plugging the orochi with the buttons pressed it will act as a drive device or something like that, mine just detected instantly by the OS
(remember don't stop pressing unless the OS finish detecting it as bootloader device) .. then click Next until update finished

 

Haha, I'm glad to see I'm a whole separate category from "everyone".

As for the firmware thing, I think you have to have the driver software installed before updating the firmware, as I think the bootloader driver is included in the driver software. Once you have that installed and set up, then try running the firmware update again.

And as crayonyes said, the driver software is what controls the button settings, DPI profiles, lights and all that stuff. Firmware is the software that runs on the mouse itself, and really has nothing to do with your computer. Even without the firmware update you shouldn't have any problems.

So how are you enjoying your Orochi so far? I assume it's a better size for you?

 

ah, that must be it! +rep for Mastershroom

 

Another question, does DPI = sensitivity? It seems that whenever I turn the DPI to 4000, the sensitivity becomes very high, but when I turn it to 1000 or 500, sensitivity drops. If DPI is not the same as sensitivity is there a way to keep DPI high but lower sensitivity?

 

DPI means dots per inch, so if your DPI is set to 500, if you move your mouse 1 inch, the cursor will move 500 pixels. if you set it to 4000dpi, it will move 4000pixels when you move 1 inch. as far as i know

good luck with your Orochi mate, i'm loving mine and i hope you do too

 

Turn your DPI up and turn your Windows cursor speed setting down (in Control Panel > Mouse). Your mouse will still be running at the DPI you set it to, but the cursor movement will be more manageable. Personally I generally keep it on 2,000 for "normal" use, and crank it up to 4,000 for games.
