Hi, some time ago my Razer Copperhead cable has broken from inside the mouse. the problem is i don`t know what was the initial color arrangement of the cables so i can cut the borken part and put it back

i`m referingb to the 5 small cables inside the USB cable
anyone knows how the cables in the inside are arranged by colours?

usb connections are 4 pin: Ground, 5v, Data+, and Data- The 5th wire is probably shield ground. Anyways working from the outside in towards the center on the connector its red, white, green, skinny ground (brown or black), thick ground (brown or black)

mine are Green, White Red, Black and one without cover
these 5 cables should go into a small 5 pin connector which goes inside another connector so i was wandering about the order they should have

the thick one would be your one without a cover.

well i got an easier solution for those who have cable problems with Razer Copperhead (and maybe even other mouses): replace the cable with one form a very cheap mouse

i bought a 5 euro mouse and took it`s cable then put it on Razer and it worked
