    I just purchased a razer mamba today (kickass mouse :D), and whenever I change the DPI on it, it asks me if I wanted to change to Binary GFX.. suggestions?
    EDIT: or it turns on/off the battery

    Yes its been reported in the past that the default razer mouse functions conflicts with the AW settings and other OSD software.

    You can change the functions using the Razer software.

    I have a mamba and don't have any issues with it and OSD. Make sure you updated the mamba firmware and drivers to the latest from there site.

    Thanks all, yes, updating the firmware has solved the issue, but if it ever arises again, another fix is to leave the configurator open (not in taskbar) I found.
    EDIT: it didnt fix it :(

    maybe just run configurator when it needs - i mean all the time it's off, even at startup items and sys tray

    My Mamba run flawlessly, but to be honest I don't play with the DPI settings all that much. But I'll echo the other responses here...Excellent mouse!

    I'm definitely not bashing the mouse at all. Its amazing, just a bit of a let down that the program has to be running/open. ah well. I dont really play with the DPI, but I just like to know I can on the fly :p
    I've done it in COD. 'twas brilliant.
