Hey guys. recently i was wondering if usb devices still work without the little white block thingy.
This is because i saw a razer deathadder for sale on a yard sale, but it lacked the white block part.

Plz let me know

If they open it, what else could they done to it? I would waste your money.

they didnt open it, only broke the little block thing. so if i could completely renew the cord it would be worth the bargain i think. would you think thats possible however?

Like many things in life, how much is your time worth? There are tutorials online on how to repair/replace a USB plug...but is doing so worth less in supplies and your time than 40 euros? Also, that's assuming the mouse is otherwise sound and working.

i guess that would be th smartest thing to do. now i have the problem of them living about an hour drive away, which makes it questionable if it's even worth the effort. thanks anyway for the responses.
