I just got a new mouse/keyboard combo for christmas. I got the new Wave Keyboard from Logitech and their MX1100. The keyboard is just awesome. I had an MX518 mouse and forgot to save my settings before I removed the software and mouse. This new mouse is great and all but I cant seem to get the settings very accurate. Im used to having the mouse almost maxed out in speed and I had the MX518 maxed DPI. I think the DPI for that mouse was 1200 or 1400 but this new mouse is 1600. Anyways, the mouse movement it self is fine but its just when I try to click on something small or try to be very precise and accurate the mouse doesnt do it.

Examples would be like, clicking on a radio button, click in a text box or even click the red X on my tabs in my firefox browser. Its like the mouse will get close to the box then it gets jittery and I cant make small movements with it. If I do I feel like im pushing the mouse and its not moving or If I push to much, I over shoot my target.

Any of you guys have suggestions for mice settings?

Thanks,
Ern

I just upgraded from a regular mice to the mx518. I think that it has to do with getting uesd to the mice maybe???. I say maybe becasue i'm haveing this exact issue. I thought it was becasue i need to get used to it. I don't know but i orderd a g3 laser from circuit city becase i upgraded from the orginal logitech wheelmouse (silver and black 800dpi) the g3 looks to be like it except better so... i hope the problem we both have is just getting used to the mouse. But i agree my mouse feels wierd. I acutally think it has to do with the setpoint software. I installed the mx518 and it was kickass then i installed the software and all of a sudden it was like the mouse was to fast with a high dpi and i counlt pinpoint on things like buttons i always overshot. so i lowerd the dpi and then made my mouse move faster which i got it to work better. i'm thinking it was just me. I think i'm going to uninstall the software. just to see again.
 
Ya it could be that I need to get used to it? I loved the way I had my 518 setup though. It feels like this mouse is either to fast or to slow. The slower I have the pointer speed the more accurate it seems to be but I cant use it that slow because I like it fast. I dont like to use big arm movements. I just like to use my wrist very little. If I uninstall the software though I loose all the features of the keyboard pretty much. I may try it and see what happens. I also saw that this software has OS Implementation or Setpoint too. I cant remember if I used OS or Setpoint on the 518. If anyone has help for both of us please speak up!!

Edit: I also cant remember if I used Pointer Acceleration either. I think I did have it set to Medium, though I dont exactly remember.

het try a diffrent mouse pad. I just did and the mouse works great! I did uninstall the drivers to when i found you can change dpi without the extra software
 
I only have one mouse pad and thats my Xtrac Pro Pad. I love this pad.
 
I have also noticed, that If I tilt the mouse forward a little so that back of the mouse is off the pad, it feels normal again. When Im trying to click on small things it feels like something is pushing the opposite direction on the mouse. Im wondering if the slick little feet on the mouse have anything to do with it or if they are so thick it makes the laser to far off the mouse pad.

wow i took what you said and used it the mouse on my desk and it felt like one of those mice that are cheap crap that are erratic and such i wish this mice was heavier i kinda got used to my logitech wheelmouse that was heavy i liked it. i like the mouse kinda ruff to move yet smooth if that makes since?
 
This mouse is much heavier than my 518 so I think that is some of it. I use the heel of my hand and my thumb for most of my movement so thats how I can tell this is all jacked up. I did uninstall setpoint and will mess with it some.

How do you know if the DPI settings still work without the software. Im pushing my buttons on the mouse and see no difference whatsoever.

The mx518 does i'm not sure about the mx1100. the mx518 will have 400 800 and 1600 without software
 
i'm rma'ing my mx518 utter piece of crap. I think mine is defective. but overall after hours of use it cramps my hand so... I'll try the g3 next.
 
Something just isnt right here either. Fast movements are fine but small little detailed movements are starting to really tick me off. Trying to click on small links or boxes is irritating. Im pushing and pulling the mouse for small movements and its like the cursor isnt moving. I cant even make small detailed/precise circles with mouse. I am with the mouse but the cursor either doesnt move or its jittery and dont move.


I know other people have to notice stuff like this. I have never just plugged a mouse in and it work like I want or feel like it should. I dont even know how you could play a shooter? You would point at the enemys head and youd either over shoot or push and pull the mouse that youd never get the cross hairs on his head cuz it feels like the cursor gets stuck

exactly the same with my 518. I would aim for something and it would land about 1/4 of an inch or so in front of it. My freind came over said it was becasue of lag i was used to on my wireless mouse. I told him he was full of crap. He tried out my mouse and told me to rma it asap. maybe we are pissing in the wind and we both have defective mice. not against that at all. I just think it was wierd . Don't get me wrong i could aim for something with the mice and it would jump smoothly and perfectly in that direction then. stop right on target are near it. when i clicked i always had to (find) the button again. I think ill try the g3.
 
I just wanted to jump this up for anyone who may be able to help. My cheap ball mouse at work is more accurate and precise with small links,boxes, and such than this thing.

my wireless 831100-0000 m-rr95 logitech walmart cheop was better than my 518 i sent back. im back to it now
 
got the g3 and it is better than the 518 to me not to get off topic but it goes where i want it so probably a bad 518 ahh well. I didn't like the cramped feeling i got from the 518

I guess I like to finger my mice? who knows!:D
 
was about to post this because I am having the same trouble with my mx1100. Glad to see that some of you are having the same problem and Im not alone.

I notice this when I move the mouse to something I want to click. If I dont land right on it and I stop, then move it, this is when it happens. It is like it is over accelerating and Im sure it has got to be a software thing.

Other than this, the mouse is a worthy replacement to my beloved mx1000. Anyone find a fix yet.
 
Im personally starting to think its because of the placement of the laser. Its not center. Its near the front/top of the mouse so to me its not real precise. I can plug in another wireless mouse where the laser is center and its fine.
