    Is anyone who is using the razer 2013 orochi mouse having bluetooth issues? When I first got the mouse the bluetooth worked flawlessly, now it only works in wired mode and when I switch it to bluetooth instead of staying on the lights turn on for one second then all die. Newegg sent me a new mouse and the new mouse is doing the same thing so I am not sure on what to do now.

    This has happened to me in wired mode also, delete the Bluetooth device in windows and then rescan and add it again

    I own that mouse and its garbage... buggy as crap, the wired mode even cuts out then reconnects randomly, the wireless mode lags. I should say the software/firmware just is not that great. I purchased the Razer Abyssus, which is great!!!

    I tried the whole delete the device and add it back thing but the problem is the mouse won't even stay on in wireless mode. It only works in wired. I have no clue why this is happening. But when it did work in wireless mode it didn't lag really at all. It lagged sometimes. But for me wired mode still works fine.

    Did you already try disabling the "Let Windows turn off this device to save power" option for the BT module properties (Power Management tab) in Device Manager? I do that to the BT module and all USB hub devices, and the WiFi module.
