Been using WMO's for a while, got a new one a few months back and just today during some scrims it would disconnect itself, the lights on it would turn off and i wouldn't be able to move it from anywhere between 2-10 seconds. This is happening very regularly at around 1-3 times a minute.

I've re installed drivers and stuff, wondering now if it's a problem with my computer or with my mouse. Please don't tell me to buy a g400 like most people did i will never leave my wmo :))

Thanks !

WMOs die fairly easily so in all likelihood it's the mouse

edit:
kinzus have like the exact same shape and feel, but a horrible sensor. Zowies are similar though.

your problem is the result of a common defect with the WMO cord, which is why I eventually gave up on the WMO after this exact problem happened with at least 10 WMOs I owned in the past

What meb and e said is 100% accurate. I used to get OEM wmos for like $4 each and sometimes they lasted a long time, sometimes they died quickly. I felt the same way you did back then, but once razer put out the left handed deathadder I tried it and never looked back.

I urge you not to be stubborn about it and try some higher end mice. The zowie AM might be a nice fit for you.

Sounds like you have cord issues. If you've got a spare mouse lying around, there's a good chance you can just swap out the cord with a little tinkering. I did this when I had that issue with my good ol' Razer Diamondback, and it worked like a charm. This also goes for people with the infamous cord issue with the G400/MX518.

Zowie AM and Zowie FK are both pretty nice, and have somewhat similar shapes to the WMO. My friend who also used to use a WMO says the razer abyssus is nice too

The abyssus build quality is a little iffy tho. If you are going with a razer mouse the deathadder is by far their best
