So my brother acquired some high quality Razer mouse couple months ago, but stopped using it "because it didn`t work as he wanted", which I thought meant it was too fast which you can fix on the PC itself but apparently that wasn`t the case. I decided to try it out since he now uses some other mouse that is a lot simpler, and I believe he actually was right. You put it into the USB port and it will work a couple seconds, then stop, and not wanting to work again. Tried a couple times but he says he may have actually cooked the USB thingymajingy because his PC overheats like the anger of the average 11 year old internet troll. So got curious, it is possbile to actually destroy a mouse by having the USB port overheat on it?

I'd assume so, those things can be a bit fragile. Once my friend pulled out the entire USB port trying to remove a flash drive.

Or is it that it's razer?
I never used any of their products and still know that they suck.

From what I've read, yes that is a thing that happens. USB sticks will fry and give errors, peripherals can be damaged, etc. Bummer. :/

You would have to present more detailed information so that it could be determined whether the issue could be on the front panel wiring, the usb device or the motherboard itself. With "thingymajingy" do you mean the male connector?

Well it depends. Was this a wireless dongle or an actual usb cable connected to the mouse? If it is the wireless dongle it is very possible that he fried key components. If it's the usb cable all I can think of is that maybe (though unlikely) a connection came un-soldered. If it's current or voltage related your pc will usually shut down usb ports before any harm can be done.

Won't comment on the other products there but the Naga was launched in 2008 and the Blackwidow in 2010. Customizability was always something we focused on from 2006 with the Habu we designed for Microsoft (interchangeable sides) or the Imperator (sliding button positions) in 2009 - all of which we incorporated for the Ouroboros.And most importantly - I don't think I'm anywhere in the position to be compared with Steve Jobs - especially when I'm no billionaire and I'm just interested in designing products for gamers and no one else. :D
That answer of his explains couple of things. Main one is that I tend to post stuff irresponsibly but that's no surprise and the other one that he actually is more interested to become billionaire :)
But what Ive witnessed my self is that ebay's used mech keyboard section is littered with razer keyboards. I wonder why?

Aside from the Tv's and maybe the Naga, Razr's product in those pic ARE better. The Mad Katz one in particular was utter fuzzy bunny.
Not to say that Razr's products aren't overpriced with dropping quality. Like, don't get a Deathadder after 2012.

I cant imagine how people could want or need a mouse with 12 whole buttons, honestly, I mean mines got two on the side for jumping back and forth between webpages easily but thats it, I mean, do you have to change the things oil too? and get a tire rotation every few months?
What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.
This way, everyone will be happy.
What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon
Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

over voltage is bad for all electronics in general, if it has been cooked, it is done for
