I hope this helps at least some 's a great piece of hardware, maybe even the best mouse, if the laser is not dirty and if you do not have a vibrating surface to use it on (for example PC vibrations).īeside of the dirt it seems the plastic was covering part of the laser in my case. Have been using it for 24h now without any problems. Finally I put the plastic back onto the mouse and it was still working. After some cleaning with alcohol I tried it without the plastic in place and it worked again. First I tried to clean it without removing the plastic stuff around the laser (maybe for gliding) but a q-tip does not really fit well into it so I removed the plastic. I tried out my mat again and it did not work.įinally I decided to clean the laser.
I did read somewhere about putting it on a white piece of paper (my mat is dark) when powering it on and to my surprise it worked. Yesterday I once again tried to revive the mouse and it stopped working after a few minutes of usage as usual. I had exactly the same phenomenon that after not using it for a week or two it could be used for a few minutes. In my case the receiver did not even blink the red LED when I moved it. All the buttons were still working, even the scroll wheels, but when I moved the mouse it did not move the cursor anymore. Half a year ago I noticed the same problem. #18 Have a RAT9 for almost 2,5 years now. the first one exhibited similar issues like yours after 3 months (sold it on ebay afterwards), the second rat's x-axis stopped working after 20 days (returned it to store for refund) and the 3rd one have issues with both x and y-axis (also sent back to the store for refund). i bought 3 rat 9s over the past 2 years or so. i was also a rat 9 owner, damn best mouse that i have used in terms of ergonomics and comfort but the sensor is just terrible. you'd probably be better off looking for a different mouse. Welcome to the frustrated rat owners club lol. Its really strange since it normally works but stops after some period of time and all the time all other button works
I tried it with 2 pc's, diffrent slots, installed drivers, even had meanwhile update from win 7 to 8 and still have same problem.
I have to state again that every button works, there is connection i can click everything despite moving cursor wich stops and dont move at all. And i can same thing every day and it works for very short time before suddenly stopping and not moving again. What is most strange part that after i disconnect it and connect it again next day it works for few minutes before suddenly stopping again.
I tried to unplug it, change battery, install drivers but it doesnt work. Every button works but cursor doesntmove. Week or so ago suddenly cursor stopped working.
I have bought Rat 9 few months ago.It was by far the best mice i used and i had no problems with it.
