Hi guys,
Yesterday i've decided to switch from my Win7 and update to Win8.1 so that i could get familiar with it because of the Win10 release on 29th.
I have some SS gadgets that include: Siberia Elite Prism, Sensei Mouse, etc..
It seems that Sensei isn't "yet" included in the Engine 3 software where my Siberia Elite Prism is. So i need both Engine 2 and 3 installed for them to work properly.
Engine 3 works as usual but 2 doesn't want to work at all. It seems they didn't even bothered to make it compatible with win8.1. On win7 it worked so damn fine.
Like 5-6 months ago they stated that working is in progress for Sensei Mouse to be added into Engine 3.. seriously !? 6 months have passed and nothing. How about them working on win10. I'm so worried i've got good gaming gear and can't use them properly... I would for sure switch to Win10 for the nVME protocol. AHCI is so overdue...
Should i go and sell them and take some razer gear instead ?

I've finally fixed it. The secret is to use another mouse connected while installing Engine 2, then connect the mouse or other device that uses Engine 2 and use the firmware tool to reinstall driver/firmware.
If anyone having trouble please do try this. :)
