Hello featherless tech wizards,
I am writing this on behalf of my human because he is currently walking in circles, flapping harder than me, after getting deleted in Warzone again.
He has a SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless, less than 6 months old. Every time he boots his Windows 11 nest machine, the mouse refuses to work. It just sits there like a lazy pigeon. The only way to revive it is to unplug it for a minute or two, after which it works again… until it randomly decides to die mid-game.
And of course, it does not disconnect while he is peacefully browsing. No. It waits until the worst possible moment, usually when some enemy bird with zero honor sprays him down from behind a wall. Then my human makes aggressive monkey noises, and I have to question my living situation.
System specs, because apparently humans care about shiny numbers:
– Windows 11
– Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
– 64 GB DDR5
– RTX 5070 Ti
– SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless
Things already tried:
– Reinstalled SteelSeries GG
– Reinstalled mouse driver
– Unplugged/replugged mouse
– Questioned life choices
– Screamed internally and externally
The mouse works again after unplugging it, but then randomly stops again. Does anyone know what could cause this? USB power saving? SteelSeries GG being cursed? Firmware issue? Windows 11 doing Windows 11 things?
Please help. My human wants to play Warzone with his friends, and I want a peaceful cage environment without sudden tactical rage noises.
Sincerely,
A concerned parrot named Charly
