Hello Gaming Mouse Fan`s So, I thought since my MX3 from Logitech, even though I still had warranty, kept crashing Explorer, I'd buy a new mouse. Logitech is more what it used to be. Now I saw the Basilik Ultimate from Razer and thought, the colours are cool too. Just a gimmick, for gamers. Well, I opened a Razer account to use the additional programmes. When I saw, as I am sceptical, the large network traffic that Razer permanently causes, I thought, does this have to be or are they permanently monitoring what you do? Well, then I came across this article, which shocked me quite a bit: https://www.com-magazin.de/news/hardware/razer-maus-vorsicht-2692399.html So the only thing you can do is not to be logged in all the time, otherwise the network traffic will go through the roof. Apparently, with a Razer mouse, you can hack the admin rights and thus gain access to the holey Windoof 10. The disadvantage, if you are not logged in, is that you cannot set the additional features such as colour, scanning, etc. and the colour changes permanently, like in a disco. For the time being, I will stay logged out and do without the features until Razer comes up with a solution. I just ask myself, does every piece of hardware have to constantly drive up network traffic by a snooping programme and record the user's actions? It's slow, pure stupidity. Especially for gamers, for whom the game is more important than data security. Unfortunately, it has become an automated world. You can't turn off the traffic anywhere in the Razer settings either. A real shame......
