Yeah, I do have to say that a lot, but I interpret the questions as additional requests for the product to be made so it's really not a problem. Dominoes, I keep very close tabs on both this and the keyboard megathread, so please don't feel that your opinions are not heard. If you have specific commentary on keyboards or desire specific features (or if you want to talk about the G13, Copper Vein), that would be the place to go. I participate less there but I am always watching.

How to I bind the side buttons on my g500 to mouse4 and mouse5 (and mouse6)? I set them as Back/Forward and now they don't work in games that bind things to Mouse4 and Mouse5 keys. Can I just uninstall setpoint? Will that fix it?

Back and forward in SetPoint are defined as Alt-left arrow and Alt-right arrow. Set them to "generic button" or whatever the similar nomenclature in your version of SetPoint is. This will make them behave as a standard button 4/5 instead. Mouse6+ do not actually exist in Windows. Mice and programs that support this naming convention are typically programmed to specifically work together. I am thinking in particular of wow and the wow mouse.

Is there any way to get application detection working somewhat reliably for the G700? I currently have it set for 3 different profiles, one for firefox, one for games and one for everything else and the application detection frequently fails to detect an application switch, so the wrong commands get sent to the current program (e.g. firefox shortcuts being sent to whatever game I'm playing). Randomly switching between applications fixes it, but it's quite annoying to have to alt-tab in and out of a game just to get it working. I never had any such problems with my old MX1000 with SetPoint 4.80 and uberoptions.

The left click on my Logitech mouse (not sure what model, but PID LZ515RD is on the receiver) is starting to give out on me, and with 3+ years of use I think it's time for a new one. I've been spoiled by my current mouse's back/forward buttons, and looking around Logitech's site the only one I can find that fits such criteria is the M510. It looks really nice and $40 is just high enough for my spending comfort zone. Anyone used this mouse before? Do retail stores carry this one or would I have to order it? Also, what options are out there for mouse storage? I think my clicking problem stems from carrying my mouse to/from the lab every day and getting jostled around in my backpack. If there's something like a case/pouch for computer mice I could be talked into getting it. C-Euro fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jul 25, 2011 |

I'm kind of looking for a new mouse. I've had a 1st generation G5 for a long time and absolutely love it and I was disappointed to see that the newer mice offered by Logitech feel a lot 'cheaper'. My big complaint is in Mouse 4/Mouse 5 buttons. When you hit the side buttons on a G5, there is some real substance to those buttons; they feel rock solid. The newer ones feel like hollow plastic and don't really have the same kind of solid, consistent feedback that the G5 buttons did. I still have yet to find a mouse with the (potential) weight of a G5 and the straight up nice workmanship of a G5 and am just considering upgrading to a 2nd gen G5 (The blue one!) and hoping that the blue one lasts forever. Are there any modern heavy laser mice out there that have really solid, consistent buttons like my precious G5?

I just switched from a G5 to a G9x and I like it a lot, although I'm not convinced the form factor is actually better.

Just checking out some reviews for the updated Razor Imperator. I have the original one, and love it. However the rubberised sides on the newer version and a couple of other things make me tempted to retire my current Imperator to another computer. So tempting.

Whatever happened to Func, anyway? I'd love a new Archetype 1030 pad, but their webstore's been down for at least two years and only a handful of Amazon sellers seem to have any.

I went from an original G5 (the one with only a single shoulder button) to a later G5 to a G500 and to be honest I don't find the feel of the G500 buttons any worse than the G5s (well the third shoulder button in the middle is but I just don't use it). Actually my second (blue) G5 was probably the worst of the bunch for button feel (no idea why).

I would tend to agree with this, having gone from an MX518->G5->G500 God I missed the forward button on my G5 (did they add this back later?), that's mostly why I got a 500.

In the meantime, if it starts doing that thing where it double clicks instead of single, which a lot of Logitech mice seem to, pick it up and slap the bottom of it with your hand, fairly hard. It should be ok for a while after.

The button feels absolutely perfect, and to me it seemed like a strange software issue. I've not bothered to get a replacement since I'm not sure it will help, but maybe I'll look into it. What are the characteristics of the double-click issue that you allude to? Should I notice something physical about the mouse w/r/t the buttons feeling mushy or anything?

Nothing feels different, just sometimes when you click, it sends a double instead of a single. I have no idea why slapping it works, maybe it just needs the punishment? Try it and see if it fixes it.

Are there any Logitech wireless mice that don't work on 2.4GHz? I'm currently using a Desktop Wave Pro and it is appalling. I get constant drops, laggy response and button presses just completely lost. The line from Logitech support is that the receiver is either too far away or there's too much interference. I want to go back to my old MX700. It never had a connection issue in all it's years.

I love my m705. Battery is not an issue, i play video games with it fine, and it's a drat comfortable mouse. Is the whole latency thing really an issue? I don't notice it and i'm not exactly bad at video games. I do get some tracking issues but that's because prolonged use of my desk has turned it reflective and i'm in the market for a mousepad. What are some good reasonably priced mousepads that have nice, uniform tracking? nigga crab pollock fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jul 30, 2011 |

Ok I was a bit of an idiot and bought a Razer Ironclad mouse mat without reading reviews. One thing to ask, has anyone NOT had the peeling issues that seem so prevalent? Its pretty annoying that I could have a ticking time bomb here. It feels so nice at the moment!

This seems like the most relevant thread... forgive me if it's not. I'm not a mac person. But I've been using my girlfriend's macbook recently, and I really like the trackpad. I find it super comfortable and logical and awesome. So I went searching for something I could hook up to my PC that was similar. Apple sell their Magic Trackpad that sortakinda works on Windows 7, apparently to the extent that you can point at things and click them but that's it. I want something like that, but with full gesture support. The gestures don't have to be the same as on a mac, but things like 2 finger scrolling and so on would be kick rear end. Googling indicates that such a thing is possible in that Win7 has the required software to support multitouch trackpads and gestures. What googling doesn't reveal is any hardware that does what I want. Except this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/USB-Multi-Touch-Pad-From-Thanko-Gets-is-a-Magic-Trackpad-for-Windows-7-181534.shtml which can apparently be bought here: http://www.geekstuff4u.com/computers/peripherals/usb-multi-touch-pad.html I give no fucks what it looks like, and honestly a USB cable seems better than a blutooth connection to me. Does anyone know anything about this device, it's manufacturer, or the company that's selling it? I can't read Japanese and it's not mentioned in English anywhere I haven't linked. Better still., does anyone know how I can get working Windows drivers for an Apple Magic Trackpad or if there's a better or equivalent device for Windows that's not some Japanese gimmick? To clarify, I would keep my faithful Logitech G5 for games and use the trackpad thing for general use. Elector_Nerdlingen fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Aug 2, 2011 |

I currently have a Logitech MX 1100. I like it because I don't have to worry about recharging it, but the mouse is starting to turn itself off in the middle of things, even with new batteries, I have to turn it off then on again manually, And the mouse wheel is starting to go. I'd like a wireless mouse like it, that uses batteries and has side buttons. The current logitech lineup dosn't seem to replicate it, unless I get the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705. I've looked at the Logitech Performance Mouse MX and the Logitech Wireless Gaming Mouse G700, but the need to use a cable tor recharge, though understandable, isn't quite what I want, though I may end up getting them anyway. Are there any other solutions like the MX 1100?

Basic gestures like two finger scrolling work in Windows, but the driver isn't meant to install outside of bootcamp. Apparently its not too hard to work around that though. Two finger multitouch is standard on any modern laptop or netbook but I haven't seen a stand alone touchpad for desktops (aside from the Apple one)

Is there a good place to see a discussion on what exactly the capabilities of the Apple trackpad are when installed on a non-bootcamped non-mac Windows 7? Honestly, if it's not totally gimped I'll probably buy it, even though I'd rather not give Apple any more money. I'd probably prefer a cabled one, but eh, I'll take what there is unless is stupid expensive or broken. Edit: I'd need a bluetooth card in my PC, right?

Even though I don't have a specific need for bluetooth right now, I bought a cheap USB dongle (these things are insanely tiny now) and a USB header to USB port lead.. you'll probably have a few of these free on your board, so you may as well use them! The cost was tiny, and the result is tidy.

Yeah, I have USB ports aplenty, and at least 2 spare headers on my mainboard and at least 2 header to rear bracket adapters. I can fit a bluetooth dongle or card in there no worries, but unless the apple trackpad suits my needs I have absolutely no need for bluetooth anything attached to my computer.

Just went out and bought a Logitech G700. Pretty happy with it so far. I haven't used a wireless mouse since the MX1000 (which I had to return due to mouse lag), and seeing that I haven't noticed any of that so far from the G700, it is a welcome surprise. However, why the hell doesn't the (gaming) G700 use the Logitech Game Profiler software? It still uses the SetPoint software, which doesn't seem to be that well featured. I saw a SS on the last page that has a G5 (I think?) being managed by the Game Profiler software. Does Logitech have any plans to make the Game Profiler software support the G700?
