MX1000 Blue tooth mouse tracking issues!

[Kasher_Khan]

So I had bought a MX1000 cordless mouse from logitech which I didn't like that much cause it was having some tracking problems. I upgraded to the MX5000 keyboard and mouse combo which has the same mouse but it is blue tooth instead of RF.

In both technologies the MX1000 mouse is loosing control. Meaning there is huge lag. For example, if I draw figures 8's with the mouse the curser is sometimes on the first loop when my hand is already startin the second loop on the figure 8 motion. I am using this on a regular black mouse pad so I don't think that is a problem. Sometimes the mouse would automatically start to move beyong where I want it to stop.

I would have immediately blamed the hardware, but this is the second of the same kind of mouse and the technology is even different. This mouse has some excellent reviews and that is why I bought it.

Can someone please guide me on what path to take here?

Do you have the software installed? I keep it uninstalled, mainly cause i dont really like the extra button features. Also try switching from the USB to the PS2 port, I do know of a MX1000 bug that was only fixed by swtiching ports or replacing the base unit. Or you could try switching USB ports...might work..but if all else fails...test the hardware on another PC if it acts the same...faulty hardware.

thanx for the response. I tried it on a front USB port instead of the one in the back and there was a huge improvement. I am thinking its cause of interference. I'll try some of your other suggestions too!

Sounds like a USB port resource problem.

My SLi motherboard has USB problems like that and like just not detecting everything properly, having to unplug and reconenct usb devices every other boot to get all working.

I think it's an unspoken nvidia problem.
