Logitech Cordless Mouse Suddenly Died On eMac Fine On G3iMac

Yesterday I got back from my holiday and switched on my eMac.
All was well for a few seconds and then the cursor froze. {Around that time the desktop went peculiar as though the F11 key had been pressed though this may have nothing to do with it}.
I unplugged my Black Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse (which has worked perfectly for over a year) and substituted the original Apple mouse. Of course it worked.
Thinking that the batteries might be weak, I put new ones in and pressed the "connect" buttons. Still nothing happened.
I then plugged the Apple mouse into the spare USB socket on the keyboard and opened the System Profiler. The computer was recognising the Logitech Receiver that was plugged in.
I have tried everything I can think of including restarting the computer but to no avail. I can't even find any Preference Files to trash! I have repaired the permissions.
b I feared the mouse had suffered some fatal affliction but this morning when I plugged it into my G3 iMac it worked normally!
I tried again on the eMac but it was completely dead.
As the system Profiler recognises the presence of the receiver I can only guess that there must be some program conflict - but why would it occur so suddenly, especially as I have downloaded/installed nothing new recently?
I would appreciate any helpful suggestions.

Thanks JMVP.
I forgot to mention that I had used Preferential Treatment. I also searched for mouse-related plists and found absolutely nothing.
(I have never used the Logitech Control Centre software because once installed the cursor used to move normally but clicking on anything resulted in nothing happening! Logitech gave me a work-around but it was extremely complicated, involved delving deeply into the UNIX heart of the computer and seemed too risky to be worth trying. In any case the mouse worked perfectly by just plugging it in and relying on the native OSX software).
Incidentally, whilst trying to get the cordless mouse to work with the eMac I moved the receiver all over the place just in case there were any reception black-spots or something in the room was causing interference - but that didn't help.
I have now decided the simplest solution is to use the normal 3 button corded mouse (which had been connected to my G3iMac) on the eMac and the dodgy mouse can work happily with the G3.

Logitech cordless mouse doesn't work

I bought a cordless keyboard and mouse and installed them on my PBG4 via USB.
The keyboard works perfectly but I can only move the mouse but NOT CLICK it...
can anyone help? THANKS in advance!!!

You're right! I did this and it worked. Unfortunatly I had to figure it out by myself. But thanks anyway.
Now the only problem I have is making my keyboard to work properly. I just need to change the mode of the keyboard from english to something else (slovenian). Because I have "y" and "z" key swaped.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I tried almost everything.
Thanks

Logitech cordless click plus mouse for a mini

I got this mouse from the clearance rack at staples and have not been able to get it to work. I have the software installed and setup it up the way the instructions say,
Is it incompatible with the mini?
I have a logitech mouse with a cord which works fine (Though I would like to keep this hooked up on my powerwave setup so I don't have to share/unplug equipment)
Does the wireless feature have to be activated somehow so it accepts a wireless mouse?

I don't know how your mouse looks like as I cannot find it from logitech web site.
I've got a logitech cordless mouse using with my mini and not sure if yours shared the same operating mechanism of mine. Here is mine. There is a transmitter/receiver stuff with a USB cable (that you should plug it into one of the USB ports of your mini) and a button on top of it. On the other hand, in the mouse, there is a very little button at the bottom of it which can only be clicked using tool like tip of a pen or a paperclip (recommended). What you have to do to link them up is to first press the button on the transmitter/receiver and then click the very button on the mouse within a certain second (5s or 10s?) - When the button of the transmitter/receiver is clicked, it will start searching for a mouse. Then, when the button of the mouse is clicked, it acknowledges the searching of the transmitter/receiver for its existence. If the button of the mouse is clicked within the 5 or 10 second, the mouse should be worked.

Cordless mouse not working

G5 using OSX 10.4.11
I have a Microsoft cordless mouse that was working but stopped. Arrow freezes on screen. A few times I removed battery and mouse worked until mouse was lifted from pad then stopped working at all. I have a Logitech cordless mouse that the arrow moves but the blinking bar stays stuck in the browser bar and you cannot click and use it anywhere else on the screen. The stock plug in Mac mouse that came with computer works fine. I tried different USB ports for plugging in both cordless mouse. Not working. All worked fine until computer crashed a week ago.
Ideas? Thanks!

No mouse appears in Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. Microsoft mouse does not come with any drivers, you just plug in USB adapter and use. I do not think the Logitech came with a disk either. I searched Hard drive for logitech file and see none. I am at a loss.
Logitech mouse left click stopped working, restarted computer and did not work at all after that (last week). Began to use Microsoft cordless and that worked for a week and now it is frozen.
I do not have either LCCScrollEnhancer.ape from the Applications Enhancer folder in the user's library anywhere on my computer.

Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse

I have a Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse and I was wondering how well it will work on an Intel Core Duo/Core Duo 2 Imac with Apple's Drivers or one of these: Steermouse, USB Overdrive or any other mouse driver that works on the Intel Imacs.
Would you please tell me what driver you are using, how to get the driver, price and what mouse functions work; buttons, lights etc.? Are all of the mouse buttons reprogrammable?
Can you run drivers that are 32-bit on a 64-bit Core 2 Duo Imac? And are the drivers stable?
Can you turn off the mouse by the power button on the bottom and leave it for 2 min. and then turn it back on and it will work either immediatly or after 1-5 sec.?
Dell 4600, Windows XP Home Windows XP

no help, i'm afraid.
but noticed something similar about two months ago when i bought el cheapo microsoft mouse $18) at staples.
works fine, except that when we "wake up" the mac, SOMETIMES the mouse cursor isn't on the screen.
we have to unplug the mouse USB cable from the keyboard, plug it in again (doesn't matter which USB port we use) and then the mouse cursor shows up.
this problem only happens sometimes, but it's a regular thing.
i have tried shutting down the mac, rebooting. the problem persists.
this began happening after i went to OS 10.4.5, and AFTER i got that new mouse.
help, ayone?

Logitech cordless optical mouse & MSI k7D-master

Hi,
just wanted to know if someone is using a logitech cordless and optical mouse around and a MSI
K7D-MASTER???
I bought one last week and put it to work, pretty nice invention I said!!!!!
it was functioning pretty well, comfortable i´d say, until that moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;( :O X( 8o ?( X(
X( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(
The moment i decided to install the st*pid software bundle it has!!!!
MOUSEWARE 9.41.1 (windows) for Microsoft Windows:
XP, Me, 2000, 98, 95, NT 4.0
this machine runs 2 processors (athlons MP)& Wxp PRO.
I installed the software like i always do it ( put it into my cdrw and appeared the install screen) i was prompted to install the mouse software & music match too, i did it.
My machine is as follows:
K7D MASTER-L

Then i was prompted to restart my machine....i did it.
then the post, the fasttrak bios, the scsi card bios, everything that my machine runs before starting..........finally the WINDOWS XP PRO screen booting up...........then suddenly a BSOD (blue screen of death), telling me that it was stopping due to new installed software or hardware, blah, blah blah stop at code 0x93c3487…. !!!....................................... ......................... 8o 8o 8o 8o 8o 8o ?( ?( ?( ?(
what the hell??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
restarted my system and entered in safe mode..........run uninstall mouseware and everything i installed.
again the post, the fasttrak bios, the scsi card bios......booted up and enter in windows like i normally do.
I wanted to restart my system once and did it, but when it restarted a small st*pid window suddenly appeared telling me i have lost my profile just like this:
"Windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted. Contact your administrator. "
“Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off”

I decided to use system restore…..it functioned. I have everything back ) ) ) ) ) )
I think Wxp pro, 2 processors & mouseware from Logitech are not good combination!
Logitech: I won’t buy anything from them again, the box the mouse came in has a legend telling you: over 10 million Cordless mice Sold!! (Yeah, that´s right for uni processor machines, maybe)
I ´m still learning things about my dual processor machines: they do not like everything that is designed for uniprocessor machines!!!
A dual processor machine is something fast, more than one processor has to be better in many aspects. But again, not everything is designed for a dual processor machine.
Does anyone know how to back up your profile in Wxp pro????
Any comments are welcomed!!!

Before Installing CD drivers you should always check to see if later drivers are available. The 9.6x drivers have been out for ages so go and try them.

Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse doesnt work with mac os x 10.4.5?

I just bought a Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse in japan to use with my powerbook running os x 10.4.5...the mouse doesnt seem to work with the native bluetooth system. so I plugged in the supplied reciever and could get the mouse to move the cursor, but only that. buttons dont work. I down loaded some kind of device manager from the logitech web site but just as the apple bluetooth manager it does not "discover" the mouse.
I noticed that the system requirements for the logitech device manager is osx 10.3 - 10.4.2 so im wondering if my system is to new for this product.
all this i found out after i bought the mouse, and it is a little irritating...it said it was mac compatible on the box...
should I be waiting for an update from logitech or apple concerning this problem.
or is there an easy fix/ anyone else have this problem?
thanks

Hi, © ! — or do you prefer Ulfur?
What model? "A Logitech® Cordless Optical Mouse" covers a lot of territory. For example, I have a CordlessOptical11 mouse that's several years old — and IrDA, not Bluetooth. This Logitech page contains a chart defining the name and "device model string" for each product, based on the M/N stamped into the bottom of your mouse. Better safe than sorry: Logitech's support — particularly for Mac folk — can be somewhat challenging. [1]
From there, you might try to confirm that you have the correct driver from Logitech's Support »» Downloads »» Mice page —
— but, Oops! — unfortunately, it may only link to Windows-compatible drivers.
Logitech has used their own patented RF technology for years — and some of their "Bluetooth" products "may not" actually provide Bluetooth functionality in Macs. (OK, that was tongue-in-cheek: I really mean "do not.") The mice usually work, though.
AFAIK, Logitech Control Center 1.6.2 is their latest driver for USB mice. (They have other mouse drivers, too.)
However, as this page explains, their V270 Bluetooth mouse supposedly doesn't require a driver separate from what's provided by Apple.
You may want to search this forum for differing views on this. Also, go to this Logitech user forums page and click to select the Macintosh forum. I won't deny you the (dis-?)pleasure of reading about others' experiences...
[1] Sorry, I don't mean to be as discouraging as I've probably made things sound. Most Mac folks have actually had pretty good experience with Logitech USB and Bluetooth mice — but Logitech Support's attitude toward Mac users could be improved. Please check things to confirm what's what — then post back, and I — or someone else who's using an MX900 or MX1000 or V270 or whatever Logitech mouse — will try to help further.
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Sincerely,
Dean
[2] The links I've provided all work within Logitech's US website (I just tested). If appropriate, you may want to start fresh from the Logitech home page and find comparable international pages.

MAcbook pro - Logitech Bluetooth mouse

Hi there,
I have had a Macbook pro for 6-7 months now (lovin' it). I'm using it for graphics (adobe suite) at work. Connected to it is a Logitech V470 Cordless (Bluetooth) Laser Mouse. Everything was working fine. Suddenly the mouse started to lag horribly, goes slow, u cant even click on a button not to mention doing precise jobs like graphics. Could somebody help me out with this? Do i need to reinstall the system? (Leopard 10.5.5) Or maybe do a clean install? Would it help?
The things i tried so far:
Replaced the batteries in the mouse
Connected the mouse to another pc (it worked perfectly so it's not the mouse)
Installed the setpoint(hate them) drivers (did not help)
Uninstalled the setpoint drivers
Tried to turn off the airport card - didn't help
Pleas help me it's sooo annoying.
Thanks in advance!
Steve

While I'm not 100% satisfied with it, I recently switched from the puny mouse to a microsoft wireless laser 8000 (Bluetooth) and for the most part I like it. I haven' yet experienced any lag, it tracks better over surfaces like bedding, sofas etc. than the mighty mouse, and while I have yet to figure out how to program the side to side functions of the scroll wheel to act as 'back' and forward' buttons when browsing, many of its 5 buttons can be integrated into OS X. For instance, pressing the scroll wheel down yields the same effect as with mighty mouse: all app windows are pushed to sides to reveal desktop. The two more awkard side buttons can be used for expose or spaces, and lo and behold, the bloody mouse has a right button as well as a left, unlike that white horror I paid $70 for through Apple.

Logitech marble mouse

i am already on my second mighty mouse. the first had to be replaced under warranty. my second mouse has had issues that cleaning wont help so i am going to buy something completely different. i am considering the logitech marble mouse. i like the fact it has a huge ball. (not that size counts!) has anyone here tried this mouse and would mind leaving a quick review. THANKS!!!

i received it already and i am never going back to the unmighty mouse. i stupidly took awhile before i realized i had to go to logitech and download the ability to customize it. sometimes i am not too swift but now it works fine. i am already noticing less strain on my wrist. bigger IS better!

Ipad 2 can't see logitech bluetooth mouse M557

Hi,
I made sure that this mouse would connect to my ipad 2 before I bought it and other bluetooth equipment. My iPad sees and connects to everything else but not the mouse. I am able to connect the mouse fine to my HP laptop.
I've checked the Apple website ant this logitech bluetooth mouse M557 (http://www.logitech.com/en-ch/product/bluetooth-mouse-m557) should connect to Mac OS and IPad 2. Is that simply not true or am I doing something wrong. I've checked the driver is up-to-date via laptop, I've restarted everything several times and I've tried googling to see if others have had an issue. The only think I've found is a way to "hack" my iPad but i REALLY don't want to do this!!
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance!!

Anyone?

Boot-camp/Windows with cordless mouse and keyboard

I am picking up my 27" quad core iMac tomorrow. In anticipation I bought the Pogue book on Snow Leopard. In it he says that you can't install Windows with the cordless mouse and keyboard but that once installed it can be used with the cordless mouse/keyboard. Will someone please tell me he is wrong .
Thanks.
Alan

I used mine to install Windows. Worked just fine till the Apple Bluetooth drivers were installed, then I just had to connect a regular USB keyboard/mouse to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse again.
One suggestion, after you install the Boot Camp drivers and plug in your USB keyboard/mouse, uninstall the "Apple Bluetooth" drivers (I believe there are two of them) and restart your computer. Let Windows automatically install generic drivers for the built in bluetooth, THEN pair your wireless keyboard and mouse. After that you can reinstall the Apple bluetooth drivers if you want, although I don't think it's particularly necessary. The generic drivers seem to work fine in my experience.
You may run into trouble pairing your keyboard and mouse, if so, refer to the "Boot Camp" section on this site, there are millions of threads about it there.

Logitech Wireless Mouse and MacBook Pro

Greetings.
I'm thinking about buying a Logitech wireless mouse for my MacBook Pro. The mouse comes with a USB wireless card. Will I need to use this or will the wireless/bluetooth card in the MacBook pick up the mouse by itself?
Cheers,
John

I don't understand your problem. Is it that you can't see the arrow or what? You say the button and all work fine so I am stumped by your question. I have problems with my mouse being recognized by the MBP but I just turn off mouse, restart laptop then turn on mouse and it comes back up. If I ever put my MBP to sleep I shut the mouse off first and wait until it says mouse disconnected or whatever it says..I can't recall. Then I put the MBP to sleep. Once I wake it up turn mouse back on and voila..works!! Maybe try pushing the little "Connect" button on the bottom of the mouse that might help. I have never tried that but just a suggestion.
Sorry if this is all confusing.

Keyboard and Mouse keep dying

Dual 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
Apple Studio Display LCD 17" Monitor
Mouse and keyboard are Apple products that came with the computer
I've owned this machine for about 6 years and have never had any issues. I upgraded to Leopard about 3 months ago and things ran slower, but it still worked. In the last week, my keyboard and mouse will die at random times. Sometimes I have to power cycle the computer twice to get the mouse and keyboard working again. Even then, they quit working after about 10 minutes even after a power cycle. Anyone ever have this issue and know what I might do to correct it? I think it's odd that a keyboard would stop working.

Sounds like your USB buses are overloaded somewhere. There are a couple of things to check.
1) Are you using a Griffin iMate ADB-to-USB adaptor to connect any older ABD keyboards or graphics tablets? I was, and I started having trouble when I moved to Tiger. Griffin says the input code changed at the system level and they cannot fix, stopping the iMate support at 10.3. I ask because when I got to Tiger with my iMate, I had sudden and unpredictable dropouts where no USB input device worked until I restarted.
2) Are the keyboard/mouse connected through any USB ports on the display (can't remember what the Studio display has). If so, connect directly to a logic board USB port.
3) Do you have any unpowered USB hubs in the system? Those often fail to provide enough power to keep the signal up.
4) Dismount any USB flash drives and see it that helps.

MBP Mouse: Razer Orochi vs Logitech Performance Mouse MX

Hello
It has been a week since I started to research a new gaming mouse for my MBP. After going through more reviews than I can remember, I boiled it up to the following 2: Razer Orochi and Logitech Performance Mouse MX.
Orochi keeps my precious USB ports free (Bluetooth) has a coolest design and better DPI, although the "sleep in 2sec + jerking" issue seems to be really annoying when gaming. The Performance Mouse MX has zero lag/jerking issues, great ergonomics and works on glass! The downside is the USB port sacrifice required by the 2.4GHZ receptor.
Before throwing the coin on this, I would like to know if anyone has MBP hands-on experience with these fellows. If so, your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I've swayed towards Razer Orochi. After 2 weeks of daily use (MacBook Pro with LEOPARD and "Boot Camp" WINXP), I have yet to find a flaw on this mouse. It delivered on all it's promises. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts on it:
01 - AESTHETICS AND MISC
The sleek online pictures at Razer site don't make justice to this mouse. It looks much better in real-life! Couple it with the Razer Kabuto Mouse Mat and your desk will never look the same. The battery top lid is magnetically attached and the USB "Wired Mode" cable is long enough to comfortably circle around my MBP. In terms of ergonomics, Orochi feels great on my big hands. I've found it very comfortable to use with both "fingertip" and "palm" grips.
02 - FIRMWARE AND DRIVERS
Let me preface this by saying that "out of the box", with ZERO drivers installed, all 7 buttons worked flawlessly with WINXP. Under LEOPARD, only the "forward and backward" left side buttons didn't work. It's worth underlining that the "Sensitivity Stage" right side buttons worked on both OSs. This means that you can cycle through the 5 preset "Sensitivity Stages" without having to install a single driver! That said, in order to tap into Orochi's full potential, it's imperative to install the latest firmware and drivers. Start by getting the latest v1.06 firmware updater (22/02/2010) from Razer's site (notice you'll need to run this under Windows). Next download and install the latest PC (v1.02, 22/10/2009) and MAC (v2.00, 03/05/2010) drivers. Besides custom macro creation, these drivers also enable full customization of every single button on the Orochi. Starting at v2.00, the MAC driver acquired the same "full features support" one finds in it's PC counterpart. Nonetheless, for reasons I'll explain below, you should avoid using the "Razer Orochi" MAC "Preference Pane".
03 - CONFIGURATION AND DISABLING ACCELERATION
Orochi's factory "buttons layout scheme" fitted my needs like a glove. I found no need to tinker with it, although the "Scroll Wheel button" could probably be put to better use. It's "Universal Scrolling" default assignment is uselessly redundant. It's not hard to envision several more productive assignments for it (copy/past, open/close tab, etc). The only 2 settings I ended up by changing were "Polling Rate: 1000 Hz (default 500 Hz)" and "Lightning->Scroll Wheel: ON (default OFF)". I opted not to delve into the "Profiles" and "Macros" sections, even though I'll probably revisit them in a near future. The possibility of creating "per application profile" and "custom macros" are 2 of the most powerful features of this mouse. A shrewd implementation of both will rise your productivity to unprecedented heights.
In order to take full advantage of Orochi's high-precision "4000DPI 3G Laser Sensor" one must disable mouse acceleration. This allows Orochi to handle all the gliding and pointing bits natively. Assuming the "Enable Acceleration" option on "Razer Orochi Configurator" is left unchecked, there's still the OS mouse acceleration layer to deal with. On the WINXP side, one simply needs to uncheck "Enhance pointer precision" to permanently disable mouse acceleration. Unfortunately things aren't as merry on LEOPARD's side. After hours of research, the solution was finally found in this "Armagetron Forums" thread. In order to roughly homogenize the tracking speed on both OSs, I also set the respective "speed knobs" to 50%. Here are the details for this:
WINXP
- Disable Acceleration: Control Panel->Mouse Properties->Pointer Options->Motion-> Enhance pointer precision: OFF
- Tracking speed at 50%: Control Panel->Mouse Properties->Pointer Options->Motion->Select a pointer speed: 6th notch from "Slow" (11 total).
LEOPARD
- Disable Acceleration: Check out this "Armagetron Forums" thread.
- Tracking speed at 50%: System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Mouse->Tracking Speed: 5th notch from "Slow" (10 total).
Due to the different "knob sensitivities" of WINXP and LEOPARD, you won't get the same pixel-exact tracking speed on both OSs. Despite that, the "knob at 50%" strategy will get you pretty close. In my personal experience I've found the mouse response to be indistinguishable across WINXP and LEOPARD.
04 - IN-GAME EXPERIENCE
Once all configurations were in place, I immediately jumped to a series of thorough in-game testing with "Quake 3" and "Unreal Tournament 2004". Diligently compared "Wired" and "Wireless mode". The former had a noticeable precision advantage. Nonetheless, "Sensitivities Stages" were the clear show-stopper! Switching to the lowest "500 DPI stage" markedly increased my aim in sniper mode. Never before did I got so many "headshots" in a row! Orochi is a literal "killer mouse"! Conversely, the higher sensitivities allowed for lightning fast responses in the heat of "close proximity" battle. This mouse really gives you that extra edge every gamer is looking for.
The "off the chart" smoothness, responsiveness and accuracy observed in-game was also noticeable during day-to-day usage. It suddenly became clear why some many designers/photographers go with Orochi.
Many reviews complained about the "sleep in 2sec + jerking" issue. You'll only find it if you actively look for it. It's simply to small of a jerk to be noticed. It will disappear the moment you stop thinking about it. This holds true for gaming and day-to-day usage.
05 - STAY AWAY FROM "RAZER OROCHI" PREFERENCE PANE
I've unearthed an uncanny behavior when accessing LEOPARD's "Razer Orochi" preference pane. The mere act of opening it caused the tracking speed to decrease dramatically! In fact, even escalating all the way up to 4000 DPI, the mouse still moved like it was at 1500 DPI! Thankfully, as long as you have access to a WINXP machine, there's a pretty straightforward way to tackle this: simply make sure to always use WINXP driver to configure Orochi. Since the "Synapse On-Board memory" allows one to port settings across OSs, there's really no reason to access LEOPARD's driver at all!
06 - LOOSE NOTES
-> Configuration of the Razer Orochi can only be performed in "Wired Mode".
-> Both WINXP and LEOPARD drivers are capable of writing to Orochi's "Synapse On-Board memory".
-> The "Sensitivity Stages" work flawlessly on both WINXP and LEOPARD. It's worth to underline the OSD only appears in "Wired Mode".
-> In "Wireless Mode (bluetooth)": Pooling rate drops to 125ms (125Hz), although you can still cycle through the different "Sensitivity Stages", the OSD will no longer appear.
-> Clean the laser lens below the Razer Orochi once a month (use soft cloth or cotton swab).
CONLUSION
Razer Orochi is simply the best bluetooth "high-precision mouse" out there. If you're are a serious gamer/designer it's a must. Totally worth the price. 5 stars all the way!

Logitech bluetooth mouse too sensitive

Hello!
Well, I have a bluetooth, Logitech Notebook mouse. I'm not sure of the exact model number, but I believe it's the V270, as in this mouse:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/US/EN,crid=1792,contentid=1 1016,osid=9
I linked to the driver "download" page - that is, if there was one. True, it works just fine with OS X's built in drivers, but it's way too fast. I have moved the mouse sensitivity to the second-to-lowest point in the OS X mouse prefs pane, but it's far too fast and imprecise. If I move it to the lowest point, it's far far too slow. WIthout a logitech driver, I'm kinda stuck between having a bluetooth mouse that's too sensitive, and a Microsoft USB mouse that's a bit uncomfortable (a bit too big). My Powerbook didn't come with a mouse.
Speaking of which, I have a PowerBook 15" 1.67 G4 model, running OS 10.4.8, with built in bluetooth. I have it sitting on top of my 3/4" inch thick desk - made out of particleboard - and the mouse on the tray just below. the mouse is less than a foot from the PowerBook's optical drive, to the lower right, so's probably not an issue with bad reception.
Does anyone have an idea of how to lower sensitivity? A third-party plugin? A terminal command? Automator? Something?
Thanks a bunch,
-Dan

Woah, that was fast!
Yes, I've tried that download. It seems to be looking for a USB connection, such as one of those mice with a USB transmitter. It says "No Logitech Device Found"
That's the problem.
Both Macupdate and the logitech site link to the same program, BTW.
I'll look into Steermouse and USB overdrive, but again, No USB connection at all, since it connects directly to the built-in-USB card.
Thanks for the fast response,
-Dan
Oooh! Look at that! It's snowing! Again! (sigh....)
I'm ready for spring now....
