Let windows do its thing for a little while with the drivers (it will probably fail, mine did)ħ. Turn the computer off, then plug in the mouse/keyboardĦ. Plug in your extra mouse/keyboard, then remove all outdated drivers from old products (this is a good thing to do anyway) (device manager > view > show hidden devices, then go down to mouse/keyboard and right click > uninstall do this to all the old drivers), also uninstall your steelseries mouse/keyboard (I was able to tell my two mice apart because my spare had power saving settings, but the steelseries did not (as it was not fully functional), also, old mice will be grayed out, connected ones will not be)Ĥ. Make sure there is no steelseries software running (task manager > processes) if there are any, hit end processģ. Remove all steelseries software from the computer (Engine, firmware updater, ect.) Note: if you have both steelseries engine 3 and steelseries engine 2 (just called steelseries engine) just remove the one that pertains to what you are fixingĢ. You will need two mice for this, your steelseries one, and another one to navigate while that is not usable (that is if you are fixing a mouse, if you are fixing a keyboard have two of those, ect.).ġ. Also, I did this to fix the bootloader not found issue, however, this should work with just about any issue as this completely re-installs everything. Note: I did all of these things, and I am not 100% sure if any of these are not needed. I had the issue with my steelseries sensei, but this should work for any peripheral. While many people have no use for this guide, I recently had a bootloader issue and nobody seemed to know what to do, in fact, steelseries' own help page is horribly outdated and has links to pages that no longer exist, so I thought I would post this in the hope that I can help people in the future.
