Mouse question

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64bit on a three year old machine. It's
custom built so it has no brand name. Intel i7-930 chip with 12Gb RAM and an ATI
Radeon HD5770 1Gb video card. Everything on this system works great. I keep it
updated as far as drivers go and do a maintenance session every week. But...

For three years, I have had problems with the mouse. When I had the computer
built, I bought a Logitech MX5000 mouse and keyboard combination. I have used
Logitech exclusively for over twenty years and never had problems.

But this mouse is driving me mad. It jumps all over the screen. There's no
smooth or precise movement to it. I can't recall the number of times I've been
on the phone with Logitech about it, and they can't come up with a solution.
They've replaced the keyboard and mouse set twice and the problem continues.
I've made sure all drivers and Set point software are current and moved the
receiver as far away from my wireless router as I can (it's plugged into my
monitor, so it's about four feet farther from the router than it was.)

But I still have to deal with this. Sorry to ramble, but my whole point is, can
anyone recommend a good, reliable, wireless mouse, with seven or eight buttons
that works well with Windows 7? There are times I won't even sit at the computer
this problem is so annoying.

I appreciate any information or suggestions as to a new mouse or even if someone
has had a similar problem and found a solution. Thanks.

Geez, I gave up on my 5 button mouse and went back to wired as I find
wireless keyboard and mouse that irritiating.

I used to have that problem with my Logitech mouse when the notebook
had the touchpad activated, but sounds like you don't have that
complication.

Note: My New Samsung inactivates the touchpad when a mouse is plugged
in, even my wireless mouse.

First question pops to mind is. Does it have to be wireless? Next would
be how much are you willing to spend on a dependable mouse? What all do
you use the mouse for. and finally is this personal or for a work pc?
Personally I used to be a wireless mouse freak until I got frustrated
with similar problems.. I went back to a high end corded mouse and have
never been happier with a mouse! 7 years now I believe it still looks
and works like new! Razer DeathAdder is what it is called.

Wireless stuff all works on similar frequencies or harmonics.
Turn off everything else within about 100' except kb and mouse.
Turn off all routers, switches, cell phones, landline wireless
phones, blue tooth, microwave, make sure computer is shielded.
Metal shield the kb and mouse from the outside world xmtrs if possible.
The company I work for solved similar problems years ago
by throwing out all wireless kb's and mice.

It's wireless.

What were you expecting ?

Wired mice and keyboards are more reliable. Until the cord snaps.

You need to do a site survey, for "2.4GHz energy". Modern
keyboards, I think they use Bluetooth (because sometimes they
mention the dongle can support up to seven devices, which is a
Bluetooth piconet limitation).

http://www.n-tron.com/pdf/wireless_f...te_surveys.pdf

"However, Wireless LAN devices are not the only devices which
utilize the radio frequencies in these bands. Bluetooth,
baby monitors, cordless phones, Zigbee devices, even
microwave ovens radiate in the same range as 802.11 equipment.
"

This is a picture of an interfering source, operating at the same
time as some Bluetooth frequency hopping.

http://www.tek.com/sites/tek.com/fil...001_5741-L.jpg

"To avoid interfering with other protocols that use the 2.45 GHz
band, the Bluetooth protocol divides the band into 79 channels
(each 1 MHz wide) and changes channels, generally 1600 times
per second." --- frequency hopping

You need to review what possible things could be interfering with
the MX5000.

If you live in an apartment building, you're awash in RF, in
three dimensions. Time for a tinfoil hat.

If you own a cottage, take the computer, monitor, keyboard and
mouse there, and retest in a "quiet" environment. See how much
better it works.

I had the same problem on WIn 7.
I turned out to be a driver / interrupt problem.
I fiddled with drivers, installing a MS deskset set of keyboard/mouse
drivers etc and the problem went away.
This was a MS wireless mouse and keyboard.
The keyboard did not seem to be having any problems, only the mouse.
The mouse would skip and jump and hang then jump.
Now it is smooth.

I'm sure you have tried this, but I'll mention it just in case. I have
a Logitech wireless mouse on my laptop that is pretty fussy about the
surface where it is used. On the desk I am at now, most optical mouses
work well, but that one Logitech is pretty squirrelly.

Hi, rfdjr1.

Open mic?

The first thing that pops into my mind with symptoms like that is
interference from an open microphone.

Do you have anything that listens for sounds? Such as Naturally Speaking or
other dictation software? Or music recording equipment?

If your mic is turned on, it can pick up random sounds - voices, mechanical
or other kinds - from your environment and try to interpret them as mouse or
keyboard input. Now and then, we do hear from users with symptoms like
yours who solve their problems by turning off their microphone.

I would suggest the Logitech wireless M310. It only has three buttons,
but you just plug the receiver in the USB port and it works.

Different situation altogether, but I had a keyboard problem. It
turned out that the computer is fitted with USB2 ports on the
motherboard and USB ports on a separate card. My 'dongle' was plugged
into the USB3 and moving it to the USB2 solved the problem.

Logitech M310... Best mouse I've ever owned and used. Accurate.
Excellent battery life. Just works. Always.
