I just recently got an MX518. THe software required for it is Logitech's Setpoint 3.1.

Unfortunately this software seems to be bugged beyond belief. With the software on, my forward/back buttons don't work. With the software off, the scroll up/down buttons don't work. Oh, and all my F keys are disabled as well. Yay.

Since I use the scroll up/down buttons less than forward back, I have disabled the setpoint software.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I just want all my buttons to work at the same time. I went from an MX 510 to this and it feels like a downgrade.

If I can't get the setpoint software to work, does anyone have a driver for the 518 so I don't have to install a 40mb driver for this mouse?
 
Alright I'll try the uberoptions out. The included setpoint software does include a way to change the mouse button functionality, it just totally does not work in certain applications (Maxthon, WOW, amongst others).

The fact that it makes my F keys not work either totally sucks.
 
Try downgrading to an older version. I'm using 2.6 and everything works fine with my MediaPlay.
 
Is there an archive of older versions available? 3.1 is the only version available on their website.

I tried uberoptions and it allows the back/forward buttons to work in most apps now, but not in games.
 
Well, I tried 2.6 and while it makes back/forward buttons work in maxthon it doesn't allow them to work in game.

This whole "change sensitivity on the fly" thing is just irritating as hell, I think I'm going back to my MX510, which also doesn't have a 40 meg driver package.

*edit*
After playing with uberoptions, I finally have a configuration I like.

Thank you to the original poster to that program; it's outstanding.
 
Oy, looks like I spoke too soon. I'm still having huge problems with Warcraft 3; none of my F keys work and my scroll button bindings don't either.

Have you tried setting the buttons in the games you use?
I just bought the same mouse, it replaced a trackball explorer (I loved that mouse).
When I started to play BF2 I found that the forward and back butons were the opposite of my old mouse.
A little reconfiguring in the game solved that problem, the mx518 works great for me with or without the setpoint software.

Yeah I've got everything up and running great now except Warcraft 3. The F keys don't work and the up/down buttons default to cruising instead of sensitivity control.

WOW works fine now though.
 
Spoke too soon. In WOW, f3-f12 are doing weird things with setpoint enabled.

F4 does the "new" function (ctrl+N), f5 does open (ctrl+o), etc.

F11 (save) is doing CTRL + S which I guess is why it's turning my sound on and off in wow and war3.

Any idea why setpoint decides to screw with my keyboard bindings even though I only have a mouse installed? It's very frustrating.
