Hello, My MX518 freezes all the time when i play something.. I have tried every thing and still it freezes.

So does any one know about it? why it does that?

its 1year old and it did it once before, then i changed mouses for a while.. then i whiched back to mx518 and it worked fine for a while

and then it started to freeze up again.

Would be great if someone could answer soon to this problem

Well, i tried it on other computer and didnt do it.. but didnt play with it coz it so old and wont run any games. it does it only when i play in my comp. Sometimes it completly shutdowns. And i dont really like to try to change USB cord..

Hi,

Does this happen in anhy other applications besides games?

[kalasd]

No, only with games.. dunno why. But it did ONCE freeze up in desktop while i was browsing internet, and after that didnt even once. 

But still did freeze up in game.

Hi,

Might be an application specific issue then. Does this happen in all games or just a few specific ones?

[kalasd]

umm.. Yeah, but not in every single one.

It's probably the famous mx518 broken cord problem. Try to hold the mouse still and wiggle the cord and see if the red light goes on and off.

well... i did try that but no, doesnt seem like broken cord.
