Mice With Mac (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

[duc]

I've also experienced these:

---

1. kernel panic upon wake from sleep w/ vx revolution connected
2. kernel panic upon manually waking up mouse (using the power button)
3. kernel panic upon removing receiver
4. LCC 2.13 crashes often when tried to configure (this happens very frequently, even after uninstall + reinstall)

Cant believe i can stand and using this mouse for 3 months, it makes me so worry and i usually save my woks coz i dont know when my macbook will crash. What a fancy mouse with a cheap software.

How long does it take for the next update?

When my iMac goes to sleep and I wake it, 2 of the buttons won't work. The 'search' and side wheel button don't respond to clicks in any applications.
They won't respond even when I open the LLC software and try to change their mapping.

My work around - unplug the USB receiver and plug it back in. Everything works again every time. No kernel panics for me when I do this, by the way.


iMac G4
Mac OS 10.4.9

But, you shouldn't have to do this.

I don't think I should have to do this either. I just wanted to post my problem and work-around because it's reproducible on my iMac. When I unplug/replug the receiver, the LCC and all applications with their individual settings work like they're supposed to immediately. If others try this and it works, then this could help Logitech Techs pinpoint a problem.

To me, the mouse turns into a generic mouse when the iMac wakes - either 10.4.9 doesn't remember there's a Logitech mouse connected or LCC doesn't wake up and play.

If Logitech software updates don't correct this then I'll have use the $20 Steermouse software - I shouldn't have to do this either.

AtomicAl: Point taken. Great you are helping.

"$20 Steermouse software" maybe Logitech should be giving us $20 to purchase this? or license Steermouse.

Steermouse is a good software and i love the automatically move mouse cursor to the default button feature, thats great!

Same problem here: Everytime I didn't touch the mouse for a while it takes longer and longer to wake up. The cursor moves right away, but all buttons take 10 or more seconds to respond. And once they respond they execute all commands at once that I was trying to do while it was not responding yet. I also had a few Kernel panics after trying to wake up my MacBook Pro.

How long does it take Logitech to finally fix this???? I bought this rather expensive mouse a few weeks ago and had to stop using it because of that bug! Come on Logitech, we paid a lot of money, fix this!!

     I would just like to add to the thread to bolster the numbers. I just purchased a VX Rev a month ago and it's hot.
     I, too, have noticed it takes "forever" for the mouse to wake from sleep. The cursor moves but the buttons won't respond for several seconds and then they respond all at once. The LCC preference pane doesn't recognize the mouse after it wakes. I can usually remedy this by putting the dongle into the mouse and ejecting it again, but why should I have to?

Kernel Panic on my mac also, removed LCC sofware. Now works fine as a crippled mouse. Hope logitech fix this in the next version of LCC.

Addition: Nevermind, it still crashes, just not as often I'm going to call logitech up and ask them to take it back.

I thought I was going crazy getting all of the kernel panics with my VX and 20" iMac. Everytime the display sleeps for awhile and I wake it, I get a kernel panic. As most people here, I uninstalled the software and went back to the mighty mouse (which I hate) and I have had no problems. Can't wait to see fixed drivers.

I think my wife will be most relieved. I just sold 2 of our PCs and replaced them with Macs. The frequent kernel panics has her giving me that "We spent this much for this?".
