I have sworn off Logitech mice for good - Page 4

Windows XP has an option to adjust PS2 polling rates without the need to install any software. For other operating systems, there's a program called PS/2 Rate which will do the same thing. So don't let that particular option sway you toward any product that uses Mouseware. No offense to any hardcore Logitech users personally.

Mouseware 9.75 has been released but...

For those who lost the thumb buttons etc in the just released mouseware 9.75 , theres a new Registry key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\Cu rrentVersion\GamingCompatibility".

Look for the change the "UT2003.exe" entry to something like "UT2003.ex_" (or other game of course) then logoff or reboot. Worked for me. The reason the thumb buttons show up as LEFT and RIGHT is cause they're acutally ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT, the Internet explorer back and forward key combos; make sure u have nothing bound to ALT. I have my buttons near the wheel bound to page up and page down. EDIT: Seems that adding GhostRecon.exe to the registry list sees the thumb buttuons as "Mouse5" and "mouse5". If removing the game.exe in the list doesn't fix your issues, try adding it.

I'm glad i dug around in the reg, i was gonna write logitech support a cranky email; I think i will anyways...

LOL. Looks like you shouldn't have gotten rid of your Logitech mouse. The new MouseWare version fixes most of the issues described in this thread.

yep i remember, when my arm was painfull, i had a small software that calculated the number of clicks and the distance in meters the mouse was doing every day .... the number was incredible .... so even if a mouse is 50 g heavier than an other : it makes a lot at the end of the day,month, years .... u know ...

Meh, doesn't matter. I was able to find another MS Intellimouse Optical Special Edition at my local Best Buy for $20 and that's what I'll be using with my laptop from now on. This particular mouse is hands down the best I've ever used. It's compact, yet the optics are uber-sensitive which is great for my style of gaming. Pity MS only made a limited number of 'em, and I've had a bear of a time trying to find a second one. But it's all good now.

I have one of those.

The one I bought today was the floor sample. Didn't even have a box, but I plugged it in to one of their demo computers and it worked just fine. It's better than the Logitech MX300, comes with better software, has two more programmable buttons and was $10 cheaper. Doesn't get any better than that.
