Logitech MX1000 Bluetooth Mouse

Hi there, I was just perusing over the forums here, trying to find help with a problem I'm having, I'm curious if someone may be able to help me. I can't seem to find another post that resolves this issue. I can't seem to get my mouse to be recognized by the LCC (I'm trying to set-up the extra buttons), I even tried using the Logitech Bluetooth dongle thing. Any pointers would be appricated.
Thanks in advance.

still having the same trouble. i managed to connect the mouse once. here's what i did
1. sudo hciconfig hci0 up
2. hcitool dev
3. hcitool inq
4. sudo hidd --connect <bta>
after that, the mouse connected.
i thought everything was all right, so i edited the bluetooth file to connect the mouse at boot.
to test, i rebooted, but the mouse didn't connect. also, when i try to connect it manually by following step 4 above, all i get is: 'can't get device information: connection timed out'.
how can i connect the mouse?

Logitech mx1000 bluetooth mouse not connecting

i've followed the instructions on these two pages:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Mouse
but i've succeeded in getting the mouse to connect only once.
basically, what i did was:
1. installed bluez.
2. set 'HIDD_ENABLE=true' in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth.
3. started bluetooth service.
4. added bluetooth to the daemons array.
5. in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth, set 'HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect <bta>"'
unfortunately, the mouse does not connect at startup. and when i try to connect manually by typing 'hidd --connect <bta>', i get an error 'Can't get device information: Connection timed out'.
when i type 'hcitool scan', nothing comes up. any ideas?
thanks!

Re: Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse stopped working with my Satellite A300/

Whilst happily using my Logitech Travel Bluetooth mouse, suddenly it stopped working, thinking it was a mouse problem, I first put a new battery in, but still not working. Had a look in the Bluetooth settings and it was still showing in there, at this point the computer was still in warranty. Later I tried to connect my mobile and that worked ok, so I was now convinced that it was the mouse. Rang the shop where I bought it, tough luck mate, we are not interested in helping you...thanks!
Some time later I got a chance to try the mouse on another computer, hey presto it worked fine....yippee maybe it will now work on mine...no such luck. So now I am thinking that there must be a problem with my laptop...and of course the warranty is now run out!
I have now deleted the Laser mouse in the Bluetooth settings, thinking being that maybe a new search and install could solve the issue, but now whilst it sees my phone it cannot connect to it and it does not even see the Laser mouse at all.
The driver version it is using is 5.0.2518 which is probably what came with the computer. As far as I know I have never updated it.
This all seems strange to me that one moment it is working and the next it is not...anyway is it worth trying to update the driver software> or am I barking up the wrong tree.
Any help would be appreciated.
JD

Thanks for your reply hammer.
I have now installed the latest bluetooth drivers, the only thing that has happened is that it can now connect to my mobile phone. the mouse is still a no goer.
All the drivers seem to be there and I took a note of the versions prior to the update, they have all been updated ok, there are no crosses against any item in the Device Manager.
Hmm hardware issue could be a bit difficult. But as it is now out of warranty maybe I will need to take it apart myself and see if I can find out the problem.
Must say that I am slightly disapointed to have this happen....I bought Toshiba cos from all accounts it is supposed to be the best out there, but next time I think it may be a different brand.
cheers.

Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse problems with new macbook pro.

Got a Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse to use with my recent 2011 macbook pro running 10.6.7. There appear to be several problems with this combination.
1. If the mouse is not moved for a few seconds and I move it, the pointer does not respond immediately, and when it does, the pointer motion stutters and jerks across the screen for a few seconds before it starts moving smoothly. I don't see any spike in CPU usage when this happens.
2. When I shutdown/reboot or sometimes even put the macbook pro to sleep and wake it up, the machine fails to communicate with the mouse, nothing happens even if I reset/restart the mouse or click, scroll or move it around. The only fix is to go to the bluetooth settings and set it up as a new device.
I suspected a hardware problem on either the mouse or the mac, but (a) the mouse works perfectly fine on an older Sony Vaio laptop and (b) the apple wireless keyboard works pretty fine with none of these problems with my macbook. Would getting an apple magic mouse magically solve this problem?
Has anyone else faced this situation, and could it be fixed?

Any issues you are having with a "Logitech" product, should be dealt with their tech/customer support department.

Problem: SteerMouse with Logitech MX1000 Bluetooth

Others have reported success with the SteerMouse driver/software on bluetooth mouse like MX1000 BT, but I am still missing some functionalities:
1. Why doesn't SteerMouse recognize the 'fn' key on the keyboard when I want to create a shortcut key? There is shift, ctrl, option and command, but why I just CAN'T add the 'fn' key? Is there a "right" way to add the fn key?
2. Also, the tilt left and right on the mouse doesn't NOT respond under SteerMouse. They were even working on OS X's default Bluetooth connection, how could they not work on Steermouse? Their FAQ only says that to configure mouse tilt on Button 7 and 8, which is vague at best. I've done that already and still the tilt doesn't work

Ok, here's an update.
1. Problem 1 is solved by the latest beta version of the SteerMouse driver
2. I've just been told by the developer of SteerMouse that their software does NOT support the 'fn' key on the keyboard! I actually don't care about this, as long as there's a way to send the "Ctrl-PgUp" or "Ctrl-PgDwn" commands to Firefox so I can use the backward and forward buttons on my mouse to navigate firefox tabs backward and forward. Any ideas from anyone?

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse works well with Arch

I know we're not supposed to do advertising on this forum, but in this case, I feel I'm just reporting about a hardware compatibility issue.
After my Microsoft USB optical cordless mouse died, with some hesitation I ordered a Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse. It's a bluetooth mouse designed especially for notebooks but, since it's a mid-size rather than really compact mouse, it's big enough to be comfortable for everyday use with a desktop, I think.
I'm happy to report that, by following the steps in this wiki page about installing a bluetooth mouse on Arch, I got it working in no time. Mark another small victory for Linux, and for Arch and its documentation, too.
FWIW, my laptop is a Thinkpad T61p.
I remember a time when you could almost count on spending a lot of time setting up most any newish hardware item under Linux. I used to put up with it since I invariably would learn a lot about my system and about Linux, too. I think we're getting past that now, and that the Linux userbase has reached the critical mass necessary so that the drivers, setup scripts and documentation generally follow pretty quickly a new hardware release.

Thanks for the help, zyghom. I've finally got things working. My experience went like this:
(1) After updating to bluez-4.30, I created the special "trust" file in /var/lib/bluetooth/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/, as explained in this post. However, contrary to what that post says, in my case the trust file doesn't have to be copied over to its location with each boot. It seems to be persisting from boot to boot.
(2) Since I'm currently using KDE4, I next installed and tried kdebluetooth4 to register my bluetooth mouse, but I couldn't get it to work.
(3) Next I tried blueman, which didn't work properly, either.
(4) I thought I was going to have to install the gnome bluetooth tool(s), but finally I got kdebluetooth4 to work. To get kdebluetooth4 to work properly, I had to:
(4.a) rebuild from ABS obex-data-server (at least I think that's what made the difference).
(4.b) Then I had to fiddle with kdebluetooth4 a bit, setting my mouse as a trusted device, then rebooting and redoing the settings until the settings "stuck" (I don't know why they didn't stick the first time).
(4.c) Then I had to write a bash script for kdebluetooth4 to be autostarted, which I made executable and put into ~/.kde4/Autostart
Maybe I did more than was necessary, but it is working now, and with bluez-4.30. Thanks again, zyghom, for leading me in the right direction, and for your patience with an old-timer. Now, please excuse me, I've got to go find my reading glasses and hearing aid.

Help with Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse connecting to Thinkpad T510

Hi, Guys
I received my T510 a few days ago. And I originally throught they did not put Bluetooth on my machine.
I called them this morning and got that you have to press FN+F5 to enable Bluetooth.
So, I did that, but stll, I can't get my V470 bluetooth mouse connected to it ?
Things I have tried:
01 latest software from Logitech website, Windows 7 64 Bit
02 Original driver/software came with the mouse
They both do not work.
I wonder if there is any one having the same issue, or any Lenovi staff could help you out ?
Thanks.

Some info about my machine:

Mini and Logitech V270 Bluetooth mouse

I just got my mac mini core solo and am having difficulty with my bluetooth mouse. I also have a MacBookPro that I was using with the V270 Logitech bluetooth mouse. With the MBP, it works flawlessly. It tracks well and has a pretty good range (20+ feet).
When I connect the V270 to the mac mini (after disconnecting MacBookPro/V270 Bluetooth), I get very limited connection. At about one foot away the mouse tracks poorly and 10 feet away it completely disconnects.
I brought it into the local Apple store for a Genius to look at it and had similar problems. It did poorly on a mini and it did much better on the macbookpro. Although not as good as it has been working at home. The genius did think that the problem was the V270 but he was unable to recommend a good multibutton mouse to work with the mini.
Has this problem happened to anyone else? Were you able to isolate the problem to the mouse or to the mini. If it's the mouse, can anyone recommend a good two button mouse with scroll wheel
Thanks,
Mike
Mac mini solo

I exchanged my original V270 and got a brand new one to test out. When I brought it home, it reacted the exact same way. Works well on the macbookpro and works erratically on the intel mini.
I called up apple support again and they told me that the V270 may not be compatible with the mac mini and I should contact Logitech to verify its compatibility. I sent off an email to Logitech and am waiting for a reply.
One thing I noticed was that the mouse worked much better when it was used behind the mini. Its still bad, but better.
I'll keep you posted.

Logitech MX1000 Bluetooth (part of the MX5000 bundle) with MBP- lag/erratic

Hi,
I have the MX1000 BT mouse. It connects fine and works well with Steermouse but Im experiencing lagging and erratic movement sometimes. Im using it with my MPB. Anyone experience this? Is there a way to correct it? any help would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Hmm. That's strange. Anthony, if you're working fine then mine must be defective. it's actually ok most of othe time, but I notice the lags with the process is in use for example when a program is launch or some other processing happening in the background. The lags are never huge but you can see the cursor skips and jumps sometimes. Thanks for the feedback. Would love to hear more from the others.
tirnszw, this mouse doesn't have USB or PS2 connection, so I can't test that.

Initialisation problem with Logitech Mx900 Bluetooth Mouse

Dear all,
I have a recent problem with the initialisation of the Bluetooth connection at startup with my Logitech Mx900.
The system fails to connect with the device. I have to go to the bluetooth pane (with the USB mouse) and to make a search in order to get the connection.
This is very disturbing issue.
I have seen quite the same topic with an intellimouse. Is there some general issue with 10.4.4 or Bluetooth firmware?
iMac G4 - Mac OS X 10.4.4 (8G32) - Bluetooth module DLINK DBT-120 Firmware 1.443 (1.443)
i mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Well, I got it working, sort of. The normal buttons and the scroll wheel work as the should. The browse back and browse forward buttons do not work. The tilt wheel works, with tilting right acting as the browse back button, and tilting left acting as browse forward.

Logitech V270 Bluetooth Mouse

I have just ordered my first Mac, a 20 inch 2.4 GHz, switching from a WIN98 HP. So I am real new at this Mac business. I've heard/read so much flack about the Mighty Mouse, I was wondering about buying the subject BT mouse as my primary mouse. It has been dropped by Logitech in favor of the V470, I believe, but the 270 is larger and I think more suited for desktop use. And it is still available from any number of sources. Has anybody had any experience with this mouse on the desktop iMac? Or any other suggestions? Thanks.

You owe it to yourself to give the Mighty Mouse a try first. Some people love it, some hate it. It takes some getting used to, but for me, anyway, I would never want to go back to a scroll wheel. The scroll ball is just so fast. I have the bluetooth Mighty Mouse and, yes, it does require a lot of cleaning to keep the scroll ball functioning, but as far as I'm concerned it's worth it.

Issue with Logitech Bluetooth mouse

Hi everyone!
I have some problems in correctly configuring my Logitech v270 bluetooth mouse. I followed all the steps in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_Mouse, but I still can't connect automatically at startup. Each time I boot my laptop, I must type
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
at the root prompt to get it work.
Please note that I also completed this step: I added to my /etc/rc.local this line:
hidd --connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address (No capitals!!!)>
Some ideas?
Thank you!

Same issue, been a problem since I purchased last Christmas. Sometimes I want to throw this piece of crap out and buy a mac. Lenovo, get your head out of your ass.

Logitech bluetooth mouse not found on restarting Mac Pro

hi
for some time now I have been using a logitech V270 bluetooth mouse with my Mac Pro which has a bluetooth 2.0 card installed. all works fine except that when i restart my Mac Pro the mouse is generally not automatically detected and i get the 'bluetooth mouse setup' screen with the message 'there isn't a mouse connected'. i then need to press the reset button on the mouse and go through the usual connection procedure.
i wonder i anyone has any advice as to how i can get this set up so that the Mac Pro automatically connects
thanks
nick

Hello all -
I found a solution to this by using Bluetooth Explorer. I had previously tried this and it didn't work, however I realized that I was using an old version of Bluetooth Explorer! When I downloaded the newest version from apple, it worked like a charm and I was able to select which Bluetooth adapter I wanted to use. Switched it over to the USB dongle and it works perfect now. No more skipping mouse, woo hoo!

Bluetooth mouse lag

So here is the situation: I have a Macbook Pro (early 2009 model) with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse. Recently, I've been experiencing mouse lag (to the point where I can hardly even use the mouse anymore). The lag is intermittent, but is there more often than not. I've been pounding my head searching for a solution to this problem, and after scouring forums and trying different solutions, I gave up completely on finding a remedy. But before I threw in the towel, I tried one more thing: I disabled the bluetooth on the Apple keyboard and tested the mouse. To my amazement, it worked perfectly! I re-enabled the keyboard, and sure enough the lag returned. Now that I have isolated the cause of the problem, I was wondering if anyone had a solution that would allow me to continue using both my keyboard and mouse? (I have my MacBook on a stand, so it would be impractical to not have one or the other).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Update:
Upgraded to 10.6.5 - No difference..
Changed/tried all wifi channels - No change to problem.
Tried a Mac Mouse - slightly less effect but still unusable.
Tried a USB BT dongle type mouse (no using internal BT AP) - Same issue
Tried on a friends Wireless Network - Problem only slightly evident - to be expected as this was a slow network at about 1.9MB/s, a transfer speed that does not show the problem.
Tried using a Netgear wireless intBT mouse router - Problem is only slightly evident on Mac Mighty Mouse, worse on Logitech, evident slightly on ext BT mouse.
With the Wireless nw running a transfer at 3MB/s, this Network speed drops down to a very slow speed when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is initiated.
So given that this issue is also experienced by MacBook owners when using BT mouse while doing a File transfer via USB external HDD, or Time Machine. My conclutions are either:
1.
The USB ports, BT chipsset and Airport Chipset are all using the same data bus in the Macbook.
This data bus is not capable of running a high speed, contiguous data transfer in a single direction AND transfer BT wireless data at the same time. Apple Architects may be able to work around this issue by appling higher priority to BT data transfer tasks (Mouse), as it does when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is running.
or
2. The BT wireless hardare is eisily susseptable to RF interference. This dont explain USB drive influences however.
My best bet is to log a Hardware repair request with Apple, as this is indeed a Hardware issue.

Bluetooth mouse won't reconnect when switched on

I have a 2.4GHz Mac Min (last model before being replaced by the model without DVD drive) and a Mac USB keyboard. I wanted to use a Bluetooth mouse as I don't like the trailing lead with a USB mouse, but I wanted a conventional three button type mouse as I need that for my RISC OS emulator program, so I bought a Logitech V470 Bluetooth mouse. I set it up in Bluetooth preferences with no problem and set it as a favourite. It then worked very well and was comfortable, smooth and accurate. The problem comes after I have turned it off, either when I am not going to be using the computer for a period of time, or at night, obviously to save batteries. When I switch the mouse back on, the computer and mouse simply will not reconnect. The only way I can get the mouse to reconnect is to plug in a USB mouse, delete the original device pairing, and set-up a new device again; or power the computer off and restart it. Sometimes restarting the computer doesn't work as a dialogue box will open over the password screen saying it can't find any mouse, then it finds it and shows the correct Mac Address of the mouse but even clicking any of the buttons on the mouse it still won't actually control the mouse pointer!
I have another Bluetooth mouse, a Microsoft 5000, which I use with my MacBook Pro so I tried that with the Mac Mini and once paired it works fine, *including* after being turned off, reconnecting within a second of being turned back on. So I asumed it was something to do with the Logitech mouse rather than the Mac Mini, and contacted Logitech. As it was a new mouse they suggested it was faulty and I have been sent a new one. However this one is the same and in one respect actually worse. Once paired it works fine just like the original, but once it has been switched off, again it will not reconnect when switch on. But with this one, even closing down the computer and restarting it won't connect the mouse. The only way with this one is to delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again. That means whenever the computer or mouse are turned off, you have to connect a USB mouse so that you can get back in, delete the pairing and set-up a new pairing again, which is unacceptable.
However, if I boot the Mac Mini into Windows XP using bootcamp the Logitech mouse works as you would expect in all ways *including* reconnecting immediately after being turned on, if it has been turned off. Also I tried this mouse with a 2006 iBook G4 1.42GHz OS X 10.4.11 and again it functions correctly including reconnecting immediately it is switched back on. So these last two tests appear to show a fault with the Bluetooth firmware in Mac OS X on the new Mac Mini not a fault with the Logitech mice. After all, it is using the same Bluetooth and aerial whether in Mac OS X or Windows but it will only reconnect when in Windows. As a final test I set the MacBook Pro up for Windows 7 using bootcamp and again the mouse will not reconnect in Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro but it reconnects fine in Windows 7 on the same hardware.
Is there an answer to this problem? Do you agree it is a firmware/software fault? Does Apple know about it and are they going to do anything to correct the problem? Thanks. Roy

Yes, I do notice that connection can be lost sometimes and regaining it can be difficult. I have even had to go to the point of finding an old USB mouse to get it going again. I usually try turning off the switch on the mouse and then back on. Then I click it about 5 times or so, usually it picks it up again. Same thing with keyboard. Not sure if that helps at all. Good luck.
