Logitech Wireless Mouse Performance

I went wireless about a year ago and am on my second one. Still not real
satisfied. Any comments or ideas of why the mouse is so "Hard" to move and
control. Maybe I should give it up and go back to the mouse with cord since
it works just fine. I have learned how to use this wireless but it is
really difficult and hard to control.

currently using cordless trackman wheel logitech MN TRA18

Could my settings be off?? I think it is the design of the ball or
something....

TIA

Is there someone within a 40' radius from you that is using the same mouse.
I ran into that we have 3 in our group and the wireless mouse worked great
for about a week and all of the sudden we are all controlling eachother's
mice but as far as your screen goes it just seems like it is slugish and
unresponsive.

go with optical (cord). i use a mx310, works fine

 

I'm on a cordless trackman wheel aswell ..been for many yrs now......and the
only problem I've discovered so far is when my cellphone is recieving or
sending, the mouse becomes very sluggish. Otherwise it works great...have
one at the office and one at home.

We use Logitech wireless exclusively in our office. No issues. I notice
the type of behavior you're describing if my receiver gets tucked too far
under my monitor. I notice the mouse doesn't seem to transmit as far as the
keyboard. Also make sure you're using good batteries, like high power
rechargeable NiMH (same as used in digicams). As someone else suggested,
look for extraneous RF interference. Either someone else with a similar
device or some other source.

Eddy,

Since your using Logitech - Are you guys using the middle button to do all
your scrolling and zooming in SW? I have a Logitech Trackball, but I can't
figure out how to make it work in SW. Now the one thing that I know is
probably going to be different is the fact I'm hooked up through a Switch
box. So my mouse is seen as a 3 button logitech mouse with wheel, but I
still can't get the zoom to work with it.

Do you or anyone have any suggestions on how to setup a Logitech mouse to
zoom in SW? I have a MS mouse and it works fine.

Regards,
Scott

 

Initially I had similar issues, I had no end of trouble when mousing
over a very soft mouse mat, I changed this to a more rigid one and
everything has been fine since.

Sometimes I get a slight loss of control when the batteries are
running low, I now keep a spare set charged for such occasions.

Hope this helps.

I haven't set mine up for zooming in SW....I use the spacemouse for
that....but the trackman wheel is zooming in/out with the wheel anyhow...and
scrolling in other programs.....by default I guess.

i use microsoft driver [5.1.2600.0] it allows my wheel to zoom, pan (+ ctrl)
& rotate (press & drag). i think the logitech driver & software need to be
uninstalled.

 

Yes, we do use the wheel/button for panning and zooming. Awesome usability.
I don't have any issues with it using the mouse. We've never used
trackballs so I can't help firsthand. We don't use the Logitech mouse
driver, we prefer the WindowsXP Pro built in driver. But I can tell you
that the Logitech drivers for our stuff completely munged up the wheel
button. You have to go into the driver settings and disable autoscroll or
something like that and set it to act as middle button. There may be some
other monkeying in the driver also. I stopped using the Logitech driver
because of the middle wheel button, but I did get it to work.

That's what I'm using is the Logitech driver and was wondering if that was
the same driver you were using. It sounds like you are using the MS driver
and that works for you. I was wondering if you did have the Logitech driver
how you got it to work. My mouse being a Trackball makes no difference. I do
have an MS optical mouse on my laptop and I can get the Panning and Zooming
to work there with the wheel.

Thanks for the clarification. Wish Logitech would provide more Wheel support
like M$ does.

Scott

 

Hey Scott, Yes, we use the MS drivers because it's more trouble free within
SW. I think the problem is that Logitech provides *too* much wheel support.
Meaning their driver wants to control the wheel through programming -
autoscroll or blah blah. I believe SW is looking for a "dumb" wheel. If
that makes sense.

another Logitech user there had similar problems, which I think he fixed
(and included instructions).
