There are users who experienced some weird problems when they installed the drivers for their Logitech mouse; the weird stuff happened to the keyboard and not the mouse, meaning that when the mouse was connected to the computer, after 10 minutes or so the keyboard started acting strange like the ctrl and the alt keys were activated or something. In order for the keyboard to act properly they had to disconnect the mouse from the system.

The answer to the problem was the fact that this was caused by a bug that Logitech software is having; it seems that this is a long lasting problem and even until now they didn’t fix it right. So, if you are having this kind of problems, feed the mouse to your cat. You may also encounter other problems like the fact that your mouse stopped moving, and this is not because it is afraid of a bigger figures, but because the driver files may be corrupt, or you may need to check and see if it has any power left, or, unfortunately, it may be a goner and you will have to buy another one. There are users who replaced their mice after forgetting to check if the battery has juice or not, meaning that they tried to find all the possible reasons why did their mouse has ceased working but they didn’t think of checking the battery. How stupid is that?

And I’m telling you that this could happen and it happened to a lot of users who didn’t mind to check and see if the battery can be the actual problem; which is not a problem per say because the batteries can be charged. Here are some forums that may help you in your search to fix the problems that your mouse has; or you are interested in other users’ problems in order to prevent future disagreements between you and your mouse.

If you want a Logitech mouse that will assure you efficiency, most of the time, you can choose the MX Revolution; this gadget has a weird design but it features a lot of improvements when it comes to scrolling and speed.

The gadget is powered by an AA alkaline type of batteries which can be easily changed in case of something happens. You can also buy some extra ones and keep them charged and switch the batteries every time you need to; therefore you will have a very active mouse no matter the time.

You can also buy some extra ones and keep them charged and switch the batteries every time you need to; therefore you will have a very active mouse no matter the time. If you have problems with the performance of your mouse’s batteries you will have to change them because batteries too have a certain period of “life” in which they can provide you full power. There are users who noticed that they have to charge their mouse’s batteries 2 or 3 times a week and when they first got the gadget they had to charge the batteries almost once a week. Indeed they can loose their capacities in time, because like any other part of hardware it can deteriorate. So, if you are looking for replacement batteries for your Logitech mouse, have no fear because you can find them in specialized stores and on the Internet, but like in other gadgets’ case you will have to be very careful in choosing the right battery for your little PC accessory.

Here is the Logitech support that may be of help, and their website that can be useful in case you need some info regarding their mice or others.

Although it has a special design, Logitech G9x model is intended only for right-handed, and this is due to different settlement of keys on the mouse.The laser sensor reaches a maximum rate of 5,000 dpi. The mouse is slightly larger than average, which makes it also heavier. Like other models, Logitech G9x has buttons for left and right “click”, among them being the scroll wheel in four directions, namely besides the up / down it can move left / right. Under the “left click” button there is also a button that can reduce or raise the mouse cursor speed.

Although it seems quite difficult to handle, when used, palm is completely seated on it and the curvature for the thumb is neither too deep nor too prominent and the hand is much more rested. In addition, it is made of plastic, which even if it seems fine, is easily porous and the mouse does not slip or do not raise the issue of discomfort after several hours of intense use. Logitech G9x presents two more buttons on the left side. Besides the left / right buttons, the rest of them can be customized.

Normally, the mouse weighs 45 g, but it comes with a set of weights that can make the device to reach a weight of 133 grams. Changing weights is very simple. Under the removable casing of this model, there is a tray that allows the settlement of four weights. The downside is that the tray can be easily blocked if weights are not placed correctly. When the mouse is attached to the computer, the system will automatically install drivers for it and will detect it and then for more specific configuration is needed the G9x’s kit that comes on the CD in the package. The model connects to PC via a USB slot and is compatible with Windows XP operating system, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Once fully installed the driver, the user can chttp://www.mousearena.com/wp-admin/media-upload.php?post_id=2642&type=image&TB_iframe=true&width=640&height=493onfigure the dpi level. Also, the keys on the left can also be customized and are handled with the thumb, being however something more accessible than other competing models.

Like other models of gaming mice, this peripheral also is customizable. Although it does not come with lightning effects, the protective casing of the model allows you to attach special adhesives, stickers that users can buy, customizing this way the mouse. Also, on the package Logitech G9x also comes with another black casing, the normal being of a gray shade. Logitech G9x mouse is among the best “tools” for a gamer. It is a model that is very customizable, this being any gamer’ s dilemma, the model being able to store a series of profiles in its memory and also has a shape that does not tire the hand even after long hours of gaming.

The mouse weighs about 100 grams and is made of: Smoky translucent Plexiglas top with a little visible Logitech logo. On this side there are 8 reprogrammable buttons through software and the sensitive control surface that takes the places of the scroll wheel. There is also the logo of the technology used namely Freespace and also the LEDs that light up differently depending on its use, normal (2 D) or “airborne” (3 D).

The underside of the housing seems to be made ??from plastic painted silver. Also on this side are four Teflon feet, the contacts responsible for recharging through docking station, the laser which is responsible for controlling the mouse in the normal use position and the ON / OFF buttons. After the specifications available on the net the mouse seems to have a normal sensitivity in the use of “only” 800 dpi, in the air has no sensitivity specification available. It uses a Wireless dongle with a frequency of 2.4 GHz, has a radius of approximately 10 meters and does not require direct line of sight with the receiver, even if the mouse is turned backwards it works normally due to sensors with which it is equipped. For the airborne navigation mode is to blame a combination of motion control technology called Freespace that relies on RF (radio frequency), DSP (digital signal processing) and MEMS (microelectromechanical sensors). The mouse is also set to ignore small hand tremors that may occur during in air use. The size of the installed software SETPOINT is about 45 Mb and uses about 5 MB of RAM, so in terms of a modern PC is not a concern. Immediately after the installation, appears a flash tutorial that instructs the user about the functions of the mouse and on all available options. Then option appears available for each button can be reconfigured in part to do just about anything, sensitivity setting options for 2D motion (normal desktop) and 3D (in air), the options sensitivity touch sensitive surface that you place scroll wheel.

Have you any idea where or how to do that? Since you are reading this, it is highly probable you are overwhelmed by a rather conventional situation. The good news is that you are going to solve the problem at ease, if you are willing to take into consideration the following simple ideas on how to change the batteries of your Logitech make mouse.

Batteries
Most Logitech mice only need two batteries. Depending on what model you use, you might have some indications on the original brochure regarding the type of batteries that go with your mouse. Again, you will probably need the AA kind. Make sure you have bought them from a specialized store and that they have been stored in a proper environment. Check them to see whether they have any signs to indicate they have previously suffered a shock. If you have little knowledge on physics and it happens for you to have a voltmeter or you know someone who has this device, you can try measure the voltage on their terminals. Now when you are sure that the new batteries are in a good shape, you can proceed to the not complicated at all action.

Installing the batteries
Funny or not, the hardest thing to do would be to discover how to open the battery door. Some models have a really annoying opening system that will give you headaches. This would be the reason why many people look for help on IT forums, asking how to do that on a specific Logitech mouse. Anyway, the batteries are on the bottom of the mouse so you will have to turn it upside down. Make sure you have switched the power button on “off” – you might damage it if you suddenly take off the batteries while it functions. Now use our fingers or nails to slide the cover from the batteries. You might have a small arrow to indicate you the right direction or not. You might also have to press and pull down on it or make a circular move. Again, it depends on the model. After unveiling the batteries, take a close look on them to see how they were positioned. Place the new batteries in the same way, respecting the positive and negative terminals’ positions. Close back the trap, turn the mouse on and go ahead using it. Was it that hard?

Advices
When your Logitech mouse starts acting crazy, you should suspect the batteries before anything else, no matter if the light indicating their level of power seems to be all right. Sometimes the mechanism responsible with detecting the life’s status is not properly working so your batteries might be nearly dead and the mouse to tell you they are ok. Plus, you should not expect for them to be totally used before making a replacement. The more often you change them, the better would be the performance you are receiving. Finally, if you are working with a wireless mouse, you have changed its batteries and it still has signal troubles, make sure the receiver does not interfere with other wireless devices from the nearby. You could turn them off to see if the problem persists or not.

When the cursor jumps around…
If the cursor of your wireless mouse suddenly starts jumping around, you do not necessarily have to start swearing Logitech for that cause. One of the first things to suspect would be the batteries. If the contact is not well set or your mouse simply has low batteries, it can act like that. But you should also verify whether is there any object to interfere between it and the receiver. This usually sends false signals on the receiver, making it think that you are doing that chaotic move.

It is not working anymore…
If the batteries are fine, the signal is clear, the Logitech mouse has been perfectly working until now but it just stopped or started to have a poor responding rate, chances are a virus has messed the driver. Or it has even deleted it. You can check that by accessing the Device manager: windows key plus Pause | Break key will get you into the System properties window. With the arrow keys, you should be able to select the Hardware tag and with Ctrl key plus the D key, you will finally enter into the Device manager. Again, with the arrows go down at the Mice & other pointing devices option. If your Logitech mouse is not listed in there, it means the computer does not see it at all. So use the special CD you received with the mouse to reinstall it. Nevertheless, if it is displayed but with an “!” or “?” marks aside, you have to make an update of the driver. Restart when finishing and this should solve your problem

The crazy mouse
Your mouse has definitely gone crazy when it starts all of a sudden to move all over the display, to highlight words, to right – click on everything. This would not be funny at all, but rather scary, so here is what you should try. First thing you need to do is to make it stop. How? By taking out its batteries, because they are the first reason for pushing a Logitech mouse to act strange. If you put them back and it continues to do like that, check the position and the contact of the receiver. Reboot your system. Finally, you will have to reinstall the drivers. And in the end, to buy yourself a new one, if nothing can repair this frustrating situation.

Other issues
We keep mentioning the batteries. The fact is that the mouse has a little LED inside of it that should turn into red every time you have a low battery. If you see that sign you just need to buy new batteries or put them on recharge, if they are rechargeable. And the wheel track can sometimes stop working. It is probably just dust that got in there blocking the mechanism or the sensors. You will have to take it apart in order to clean the dirt. It should work just fine after that.

Updating the driver
A driver is, after all, a software containing detailed instructions on how a hardware component should work. You might be able to use your mouse without these updates too, but you will definitely feel a difference if you choose to do this. Therefore, you need an internet connection and you also need to access the Device manager window.

The long path would be: start, settings, control panel and device manager. The short path is a well – known keyboard combination between the Windows key and the Pause | Break key. Once you are inside the Device manager, which is a window like any other one, look for the Hardware and Sound tag and click it. The next stop is on the menu with Mice and other pointing devices. It should be displayed there your Logitech model. Make a right click on it and then click the Update driver option. If it is the first time when you are doing it, you might want to check another option for the automatic updates so that you will be announced any time when improved software is available. After your PC has searched, downloaded and installed the new driver, reboot the system and that is all.

Updating the software
A Logitech mouse is a smart pointing device that can do a lot of interesting things. Therefore, it is understandable it needs a special software to run and just like the mandatory driver, the software can also be upgraded every now and then. Logitech releases, from time to time, so called updates or patches for the products they have on sale. The good part is you can access them all and download them for free. All you need to do is visit their web site, at the Resources section, the Support tab. Once you have spotted the “Product Support” topic, go for it. Do not be scared by that long list of models. If you know the name and the number of your mouse just type them and you will receive the available updates. If you are not sure, there is another option– you get to surf through a photo album and choose the picture that shows the Logitech mouse model you are using. Pay attention on what operating systems those patches work, before you rush to install them. In the end, restart the computer.

Why to update the Logitech mouse driver?
Why not to? Their team works to bring you the best services. You might have been pleased with your initial acquisition, but if you know you can receive more, without paying, should you have second thoughts about it? If your Logitech mouse happens to freeze sometimes, if it has some lags or it is not as responsive as you were expecting, a driver and software update might make miracles. If you do not believe it, you should at least make a try. There is no reason to be concerned about the safety of the source since you are downloading them right from Logitech.

Overview
This should be a glance on the whole product. When you finally receive it, what can you expect to find inside the magic box? Obviously, first of all, the Mediaplay mouse, which is a cordless model. Working with a wireless device sure makes a receiver necessary, and that would be a wireless mini – receiver. The desktop USB stand is yet another thing to look for when unpacking. If you add the two batteries, AA type, you’ve got all the physical parts needed. An USB adapter, in case you have a PS/2 slot, was added. However, you can do nothing with all of the above unless you have some special software – the installation guide, a CD with SetPoint – the program that will allow you make the settings for your Mediaplay controller – and the warranty, available for three years, are the rest of the things included in the package.

Requirements
These requirements should have been familiar to you long before purchasing the product. In case you have missed this part, you might want to check it right now. What specific conditions should your computer met in order to function together with this mouse? An IBM computer is the best option, but if you do not have one, any other model of compatible PC will work just fine. As for the operating system, since it is an older invention, supports the Windows 98 or 2000 versions, at most Windows XP. In addition, because the receiver is on USB and the Mediaplay mouse from Logitech comes with an adapter for PS/2 connections, your personal computer must have either an USB port or a PS/2 one. Last but not least, in order to be able using the software from the CD, an optical unit – meaning at least a CD ROM – is mandatory.

Features
We have got to the most interesting part. What can this mouse really do? It works as an optical device and as a wireless remote. The main point in here is that we are not talking about an ordinary remote, but about one that uses RF signals, so it does not need to be pointed to the receiver to do its job, within an area of 10 feet. It has 10 backlit control buttons for various functions, back and forward buttons on its both sides, a wheel you can tilt from one side to the other to make scrolls and zooms and even a touch for media player access. It has an ergonomic device, making it easy to use for both of its main tasks, and the rubber grip serving as contour helps you control the mouse even better. Not to mention it is compatible with so many media players and it also allows you to make all sorts of settings for a better functionality – including the programming of every single button. In this way, you get to choose how to dispose the commands.

Customers think…
Customers think that the Mediaplay mouse Logitech make has some cool features like the excellent grip, the reduced light coming from the optical sensor, the very good battery life and the compatibility with a wide range of software. Nevertheless, the fact that lefties have difficulties into reaching the side buttons, the non rechargeable character and a slight lag that was sometimes perceived are a few drawbacks to consider.
