Mouse Wireless Connectivity Issue

Mouse: Razer Viper V3 Pro

Been having an issue with my mouse, possibly following the update to Plasma 6.4 on Wayland, though it was still working for a while following the initial installation and reboot. It will work without issue in wired mode, but whenever I attempt to use the wireless dongle it won’t respond to any movement or key presses. The USB device is still detected in lsusb and in RazerGenie when in wireless mode, but the cursor just sits in the center of the screen.

Attempted to revert to the previous kernel through GRUB, uninstalled openrazer-daemon and RazerGenie, tried updating the mouse and dongle’s firmware through a Windows VM, issue persisted. The mouse does still work at login, and when I installed the X11 Plasma Workspace and swapped to that, the mouse worked without issue as well. It definitely doesn’t seem to be a pairing or hardware issue. Was wondering if anyone had any insights or suggestions on what else to troubleshoot?

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to Fedora @annasiel

Is your mouse dongle up to date with the newest firmware? If not check if you can do the upgrade on a Windows machine. I imagine it will update the dongle. Before doing so read the whole article carefully and check if it is applicable for your device/model.

Thank you @ilikelinux!

Yup, tried upgrading to the latest firmware on both the mouse and the dongle on Windows and it didn’t fix the issue, unfortunately. It isn’t having any issues with pairing - the LED on the mouse and dongle seem to indicate they’re connecting, it just isn’t letting me use any of the functions.

Please disregard, issue resolved - the mouse wasn’t an enabled device through the settings in wireless mode, for some reason. It would show as enabled when plugged in, but I’m assuming it’s considered a different device when wireless. Not entirely sure how it was disabled, or if it was ever enabled in wireless, but it looks like it’s working now.
