    Anyone using a Razer in the serial port?

    Like the title says, looking to see if anyone is using a Razer mouse in the serial port instead of USB. THe reason being, I have gone through two of them and have the last one they RMA'ed to me sitting around, and would like to use it. The reason I RMA'ed two of them is that it would start disconnecting and reconnecting, and basically become useless. I have read somewhere that it could be because of a problem with the voltage in the USB port, and don't want to kill another one.

    dont think you'll find one for the serial port, i dont even think serial is powered so your optical mouse wont work,

    get a usb hub something like this > http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817201002
    just plug it into your working USB port and then plug your keyboard/mouse/joystick in to the hub :)

        using those USB to serial adapters can change your mouse and wont let you use all of the features
