Mice - Hardware

[dantesnake]

Well I hated my MX till now, now I like it very much. : )

It's not that much of a hassle to connect BT dongle to a usb cable anyway...

Sure, logitech should have done it better, but hey, noone is perfect. : p

Reita: "However, I'd like to know if anyone knows how to manually set the wheel button to middle-click, without the SetPoint software? Perhaps some registry settings or something to be able to change the default action for the MX."

It has been my experience that the settings made in SetPoint "stick" after a reboot, even without loading it again. That is, if you set the wheel to "middle click" it is going to stay like that. At least with my mouse it does - YMMV.

Anyway, I can guarantee that removing SetPoint will not influence stuttering in any way. It is not the problem! The receiver is -- it needs to be closer. Case in point, the problems appear in other OS'es where SetPoint isn't even conceived.

Well, they could at least acknowledge the issue and post it in big letters on their web-site... Even if they don't offer anything in replacement to the owners of these mice, at least it would show good faith on their part. As it is, all one can do about the problem(s) is to search forums and dig around to find solutions while this is a widespread problem... not very professional IMO.

So much for us early adopters, (as noted by the P/N 831869-0000 on my MX). When I fists saw this mouse and read about the features I had to have it. I used it infrequently but loved it. It worked flawlessly. The battery lasted quite a while and charged quickly.

My MS wireless mouse finally went to cyber heaven so instead of purchasing a new one I decided to replace it with my MX Rev.. I was dismayed to find that the cursor jumped and stuttered around the screen. There is no way this mouse could have passed a sobriety test. Anyway I downloaded the latest setpoint, checked around the internet for troubleshooting techniques all to no avail. Then, to my horror, I found this forum thread. I contacted Logitech CS this morning and talked with Julie who was very nice and went through the same troubleshooting process that I already tried without success. I was very happy to learn that I am able to send my receiver back and a replacement mouse will be shipped out. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that the replacement will not exhibit the same problems.

Logitech should provide a "FREE" USB cradle upon request, to those that find closer is better. Extensions are awkward, leave your dongle hanging over the side of your desk or have to be laid flat and in the way, whereas something like D-Link gives their customers that buy a WUA-2340 Wireless USB RangeBooster that has a weighted base, which sits the unit upright like an antennae, would be much better. My lag/freeze issues were never fixed by moving the transceiver closer, using an USB extension, though. The problem needs to be fixed at the Engineering level and either stronger dongles issued or replacements for both the mouse and transceivers issued to customers with this problem, once fixed. I’m on my fourth MX Revolution right now, since January of this year!!! This is retarded.

I too have this problem, and i've tested on other systems and checked for any interference using my Wi-Spy 2.4x spectrum analyzer.

My PC is NOT using a wireless connection, the symptoms persist whether the receiver is 4 feet away from the mouse or less than a foot. Any time I ramp up my connection usage, my mouse gets "Sticky", be it through TF2, WoW, or even FTP transfers.

Just bought 2 of these. The Desktop one and the Laptop version.

Was ready to throw the Desktop in the bin after sticky problems but moved the receiver to the front of PC and all good now. Bit crap that you have to do that!

Makes you wonder about the testing phase of the product development?

Update: Still doing a bit so still not a Fullproof fix! Grrr!

Well now totally taken out the mouse!

Removed software = Still the same.
Moved receiver around = Still the same!

Asking for refund on Monday.

Anyone got any recommendations of a good alternative wireless?

Anyone tried the MX1100 yet and see if it has this problem? I got lucky and a few weeks ago found a brand new MX1000, but it's not gonna last forever.
