logitech laser mouse

[Devant]

hey I recently picked up a logitech mx1000 wireless mouse and i've been having issues where my cursor will jump to my other screen to the left of me or all of the way to the top of my screen. you can imagine how many times i've died from this. i've cleaned the laser and am using a mousepad but it doesnt seem to help.

thoughts?

awesome. I'm plugging back in my 6 year old microsoft optical mouse that works better than my brand new laser expensive one

[themuddaload]

return brand new laser expensive one?

according to teh interwebz, that mouse is like $70... id try one of those fancy razer ones if u can return that one.

Don't tell me that lol, I was thinking of getting a new mouse and logitech was my first choice of brand.

Logitech g5 doesn't do this.

did you properly install your driver and application?
did you properly set your sensitivity and acceleration speed in the application?
I have no idea what options mx1000 support but there are quite a few options in G500 software.

cnet seems to have grossly high reviews and praise for it. I would either assume that your particular mouse may be faulty, bad drivers like sung said, or it could be due to wireless errors.

seriously so many posts and non of you point at the 'IT IS WIRELESS DOH!' part?

Wireless and wireless does this.. it is when your signal has to many interference, like say monitors, heavy 1kW pc's etc. that causes packet drops.. Like with wireless internet, which has the same problem, despite 802.11n being rather well at creating high speeds through massive concrete ;)

1 option to try, put the receiver as close to your mouse as possible and not behind screens etc, but in a straight line. All other options included wires.. Mouses with wires work better and do not have these problems.

-edit-
Interesting.. Logitech site will not reveal what Mhz the radio transmitter of the mice.. Offsite I find 27 Mhz, that should be high enough to remove most problems but check for all the basic things that corrupt radio signals (power lines in a bundle/loops, like said monitors/tv's tube wise, etc.)

alright update - redid the drivers and my receiver is directly in front of my mouse, so no interference. wonder if they'll take it without the receipt

[Homfry]

How close is the receiver from your mouse?

Also do you have wireless internet or do you have multiple wireless networks that you can access around you?

Ok, so I'm not saying this is your problem. But I've always had problems with optical logitec mice on mouse pads. When ever I use them on my desktop, they work spectacuarlly as long as you make sure they don't get lots of pet hair or dust in the lens.

[Devant]

tried that. mouse pad and no mouse pad. cleaned the lense. I have wireless router + multiple wireless printers

[themuddaload]

hrm, what kind of mousepad do you use? the generic cloth and foam ones that have been around since dinosaurs roamed the earth?

i use a textured plastic one. it has a static clingy backing to it, so it sticks to most flat surfaces, nice since my computer is a laptop. parents have one thats almost identical, except theirs has a thin layer of foam on the back.
