Razer DeathAdder Double-Clicking Issue

Download, Hardware, Windows, , Leave a comment

I have two DeathAdder Mice from Razer – DeathAdder 2013 and DeathAdder Chroma Elite, and strangely both mice had the same issue; it resulted in double clicks when you trigger a single click. And I’m pretty sure that the problem is not on the hardware, I’ve had the same issue (which is hardware) in the past and resolved by changing the switch.

Well, after searching the Net and found out that the issue is related to the Firmware, then I updated the firmware and it fixed the issue.

You can get the firmware here, only works on Windows OS:

DeathAdder 2013 (2,4MB)

DeathAdder Chroma (2,4MB)

How to Pair Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 10

Hardware, How To, Mac OS, Software, Windows20 Comments

While I was fixing my Razer Blackwidow keyboard, I want to keep my PC operating, so I tried to connect the Apple Wireless Keyboard, the pairing process stopped because the Apple Wireless Keyboard can not detect the key entered.

I found a solution, here it is:

  • In Windows 10’s bluetooth settings (can be found in system tray), click on the icon and then click “Add Bluetooth Device”.
  • Then, on the Apple Wireless Keyboard, hold down Command + W, while Windows is searching for bluetooth devices.
  • Then (hopefully) after it finds your Keyboard, it will want to pair with it. Follow the on screen prompts and eventually you will have to type in a pairing code.
  • Type in this code (shown on the screen) and hit Return. If no code showing, type 123456.
  • Your Keyboard should successfully pair with Windows 10 via Bluetooth
