Godamn gaming mouse

I bought a Razer gaming mouse... And it feels like its software wants to update like twice a week.... Sometimes I even have to "log in" to start the software (needed to change DPI on the fly, I think) And now the update process needed me to restart... What a bother! :~

WOW-what does that mouse software do? transfer your system use to other party?
I do not fear of failure. I fear of giving up out of frustration.

I get the impression that it might be just slightly over-engineered. Is it compatible with Alexa? ... Ah. A quick web-search shows that it uses "cloud-based configuration", meaning that it might even have a built-in web browser (because that's what hardware manufacturers think is an efficient way to access web files), and a ridiculously bloated update mechanism. I second Nitin's suggestion: block it from accessing the Internet. If it still thrashes (because it can't get access), dump it. A mouse that consumes more than a few K of system resources is a joke, and will be cr@p for gaming.

Certainly not their Mouse and Keyboard software (drivers + config utility). I was surprised to get an update for that a few weeks ago. The last time that thing prompted me to update it was in 2015 (I still have the timestamped downloads). And even then, that *might* have been me proactively seeking it out.

Obviously you didn't quite understand what it was for. They're playing with you!

No, I was thinking about the incredible amount of forced updates that we like to complain about...
