ive had a logitech mx518 forever it seems. well the day came to get rid of it so i went with the new style g5 because its the same shape as my 518. the mouse works great when its working, but the mouse or driver crashes all the time. the mouse will drop down to 400dpi and gets stuck there. i have to unplug the mouse and plug it back in to get the dpi to change. i am using the drivers from their site. does this happen to anyone else?

I've never been a fan of the Logitech software. For one thing it makes the mice feel weird. As a result I generally do not use the drivers. For most games this certainly isn't a problem as I can use all the buttons in the games and remap them as I desire.
QFT I just plug and play and it works like a beauty its only when u install the software does the mouse go all wonky and whatnot..
shrug, never had a problem.
yeah it drops from 2000 to 400 and it wont change. i have to unplug the mouse and plug it back in to get the dpi to change.
I've never had that kind of issue with it.
Has this been happening ever since you got it? There is the possibility that you're mouse is just fucked. Have you tried contacting their tech support? They might know right off the bat what it is.
its done it about five times in two weeks ive had the mouse. you think its just a bad mouse?
dont type on the laptop in bed, thats what happens.
Without the software and the "setpoint implementation" turned on you get a much less smooth/"jumpy" cursor. Of course if you leave it at the default "OS implementation" you still get it. Much more apparent on non LCDs as i found out BEFORE i bought my LCD which i couldn't tell as easily but still turned it on because i KNEW it helped tons!

Yeah, that was confusing. I'm using a crt with os implementation, no accerlation and I don't notice any jumpy-ness whatsoever. smooth as butter. If the mouse has been acting strange all along, and that a weird issue, again contacting their support is a good idea, I would lean towards the mouse.
