Hi all,
I've been using my Logitech G7 since it came out on the market. It's a great mouse and I use it heavily for gaming.
I spend a lot of time on Quake 3 (yes, its old but I've been playing it for years..clan stuff etc).
Anyway, I have never had any problems with it as far as tracking goes until quite recently.
I can join a game and notice that my mouse tracking is no good, ie, it just loses its position on the screen. I dont really have a massively fast sensitivity or mouse accel in the game but it just stops me from playing as I tend to walk into walls and have poor accuracy.
I use an S&S Steelpad which has never let me down either. I have changed the feet on the mouse for a new set of gaming ones a while back as they were a bit worn out and it was fine. I have invested in another S&S Steelpad incase the mat was worn out which I thought made a difference but didnt in the end.
I have just bought a Razer ExactMat which has a "speed" side and a "control" side to see if that helps. The "speed" side seems ok but the "control" side wont even move the mouse cursor at all. Not in Windows or gaming which leads me to believe it might be the surface which can cause this problem.
I have ordered another G7 carbon SE to see if that one does it. Bearing in mind that my mouse works fine and then just goes weird on me all of a sudden I tend to think it may be a battery problem. Just when I think "yes" it is the battery the spare one plays up. I restart my pc and that changes nothing. If the mouse doesnt track then I've had it. Later it all seems to be ok again. Could the laser be overheating or similar. I have cleaned it as best I can too. If it was the mat surface wouldnt it give me trouble all the time? I can go a day with it running fine then suddely...gone crazy!
So, it seems my mouse has a mind of its own. When it works it works great but when it feels like letting me down it will.
Anyone else experienced this or use the G7 on an S&S or Razer pad. I've used a cheap 50p cloth mouse pad and it seems to be fine on that for the time being which is typical.
