I just got one of these, I had a MX700 mouse before that I loved and never had a problem with. This is driving me nuts however. The mouse, like every 3-5 minutes it seems, just lags to hell. It's almost like there's someone else controlling it, it's obnoxious. I first ran it without installing Logitech's software, which I never used on any other Logitech mouse before because I hate the way it makes their hardward work lol. I figured maybe there's something in their software that makes the mouse talk to the receiver correctly and maybe there's also something in there to do with bluetooth security connectivity issues, so I gave in and installed it. That seemed to help, but it didn't, and I have the same issues again. Also the keyboard, maybe I just need to get used to it, but sometimes it seems like it doesn't register all the keys I type. Could be the same connection issue.

Anyone?
 
whats up?

I have the logitech MX5000

and I must say once you get it to work properly its awesome.

first thing I did was install the software. The software actually makes it work alot better. allows you to configure the media buttons and much more.

anyways

when I plugged in the USB receiver, and turned on the keyboard and mouse. I clocked connect and it never did, I than clicked connect on the usb and never worked, I tried the software and it says usb hub not installed. I got really heated.

I shutoff both keyboard n mouse, unplugged the receiver. connected it back in. turned the keyboard on. hit connect on the reciever than quickly hit on the keyboard and still didnt work. like after 15-20 of trying it finally connected. than when it was connected. it was like wobbily and laggie. but with use and some configurations the lags went away and gone. I can use the mxlaser on bare wood, were as my mx700 optical, I had to use a pad (ratpadz GS) to work properly.

were you able to get it to connect no problem?

have you configured the software the way you want it to?

my keyboard/mouse even works in linux
 
I'm having the same issue, and I installed the Logitech software from the start. Mouse is the worse culprit as it will either not move or in most cases be about several seconds delayed on my mouse movements.
 
a lot of times it starts to wander around like it's drunk or something. I returned it and got another set, same thing happened, but this time the software installed a lot more things, all of a sudden I got this icon called my blutooth places. it seems like it works a lot better now, so I'm going to stick with it for a week or two, if it still sucks, I'm getting the mx3000 instead. I think bluetooth is the main problem to be honest.
 
I grabbed the Microsoft Desktop Elite (bluetooth) at lunch today. Once I get home will try it out and see if it does any better/worse than the logitech, and then figure out which one goes back to BB (or if both of them do).

Will reply back with my findings...

AARGH!

i'm not experiencing none of those systems you having once i got it to connect properly.

have you tried different usb ports? mines actually connected to a USB hub ran outta space, so much USB devices :-/
 
Well I thought I finally had this thing working right but no good. I give up, returning it for the mx3000. I'm not losing connection anymore, but the mouse just acts like it's drunk or something. Very lame.
