Mice - Software

[Remanent]

Hardware Involved: Mx510 (mouse)

Software Involved: Setpoint 4.60

Operation System Involved: Vista x64 (Business)

if i rebind buttons 7/8 to keypresses, in addition to acting as the desired keypress, they retain their default scroll functions (cruise up / down) in browsing it moves the page up / down the equivalent of one click on the mousewheel.

Example (for me) i have button 7 bound to [ and button 8 bound to ]

when i use these in WoW for example, not only does button 7 press [ it also scrolls the view in a little, and when i press button 8 it generates ], but also scrolls the view out just a little (the same amount as clicking the scroll wheel up once, or down once), the only way i have found around this is to completely disable any type of scrolling on the mouse wheel (using uberoptions) but this removes the zooming function altogether, not really the solution i was looking for.  Is there some way to disable button 7 / 8's zoom functions while retaining the mousewheels zoom / scroll function and the keybinds i have on buttons 7 / 8 ? or is this a software issue?

Yes -- uninstall setpoint, reboot, install setpoint 2.6 (you can find it in oldapps.com) -- works like a charm; I am using it in WoW and the scroll wheel still zooms.

are you running vista 64 bit, or a 32bit variety?

Hi Remanent,

I'm guessing that he's running 32-bit Vista, as SetPoint 2.6 doesn't have support for 64-bit systems.

Have your tried doing a clean install of SetPoint 4.0?

Yes, i've done a clean install of setpoint 4.60 on a clean install of Vista Business 64bit, only software installed was my drivers for my video card, and my g15 keyboard.

Edit:

i just noticed you had referenced version 4.00, I'll give that a try, and get back to you.

Hi Remanent,

How did SetPoint 4 turn out? If its not working for you, please contact Customer Support for further assistance with this.

[Remanent]

Thank you for checking back on this issue.  Setpoint 4.00 that you linked in your previous post contained the same issue that 4.60 contains regarding buttons 7/8 retaining they're cruising functions in addition to acting as a keypress, instead of acting solely as a keypress.

Hi,

Not sure how to progress from here Please contact Customer Support for further assistance with this.

I contacted Customer support, and after testing the mx510 on a 2nd pc running vista x64 bit, and some further research by the customer service agent, this is part of the last reply I'd received from support...

After further research regarding this issue, I am sorry to inform you that Logitech does not provide additional software installer for MX 510 mouse to work in Windows Vista and x64 platform and due to hardware limitation within the mouse, we cannot load the necessary driver package into Vista and it did not pass Vista's DTM (Driver Test Manager) tests. Since the issue is caused by the hardware specification, no matter what changes we made to the driver codes did not make any difference. This mouse does pass Windows XP WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) tests without any problems.

In a previous email, they'd offered to replace my mx510 with a mx518.  I purchased a mx518, but am still going to replace my mx510 if the option is available.  Testing w/ the mx518 under vista 64bit showed that the issue I have w/ the mx510 does not exist (the mouse buttons act solely as a keypress, and do NOT retain the scroll function.
