USB Mouse hooks by slow movement.

Hello community,
english is not my primary language,
but i hope, you understand me^^
I used the search function, but found nothing, what could help me.
I want to use a logitech usb mouse on my macbook.
The mouse needs no software and my mac is detecting her.
I can move the mouse with no problem, but:
When i move the mouse slowly, the cursor, hooks.
He moves in the direction i want, but not with a smooth movement.
Instead he hooks around.
I thought, the mouse speed-up could be the problem,
but it seems, it is something else.
I also tested another usb mouse with the same result.
I hope, someone can help me and knows a solution for my problem.
If there is further information about my mac or the mouse needed,
let me know.
Greetings

I use Logitech mice exclusively--there is a preference pane for their products. I strongly recommend you install it because it allows you maximum control over all the mouse functions, plus the ability to assign extra functions to the buttons.
Below is the US version of the page you will use to find mouse software. Scroll to the bottom to find a "Change Location" link to allow you to view it in your preferred language.

Trackpad is working very well but my usb mouse acts too slow and erratically?

I tried all the usb plugs and different types of mouses but it acts erratically and slow specially when i use couple softwares at the same time. Trackpad works perfectly even though i use couple softwares. Can someone help pls?

Your mouse must be the Mighty mouse and in that case the likely problem is the scroll wheel. This tends to get clogged up with all manner of detritus picked up from a desk. Here is a link showing how to approach cleaning it.
Let us know how you get on.

Huawei e220 hangs on Mac Mini G4 and USB mouse and keyboard slow way down

I have a Mac Mini G4 running os10.5.8 My mouse and keyboard are a creative wireless combination that go to a USB hub then to the USB port on the mini. When I use my Huwei e220 wireless broadband modem, it frequently hangs when disconnecting, and the mouse and keyboard barely work. Activity monitor shows the CPU load is not very high at all, yet the mouse is almost stuck. If I put the computer to sleep, then it comes back and works fine. Its a bit of a hassle, and seems to be specific to the USB on the mac mini.

Is the modem connected via USB?

USB Mouse clicks get registered twice, sometimes

Hello all
I am using Arch Linux on my Thinkpad T61, and I usually have a USB mouse hooked up to it (Logitech Nano).
A while ago I started to do some tweaks in order to enable the Synaptics TouchPad and get proper scrolling behaviour on the TrackPoint. However, I must have done something, because ever since, many of my USB mouse clicks get registered as a double click (not always, but often).
I started doing some troubleshooting today, by commenting out parts of my xorg.conf file (I use evdev hotplugging, but I tought maybe Xorg was registering my mouse aswell) and I even booted up without an xorg.conf once, to no avail. The problem definately does not lie there.
The only policy file I have that has anything to do with a mouse is /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi.
[rob@rob-thinkpad ~]$ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>

<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
</match>
Also, I found multiple entries for my mouse in /proc/bus/input/devices:
[rob@rob-thinkpad ~]$ egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices

Could someone please help me solve this problem, for I have no more ideas how to go at this... Thanks

This looks pretty bad to me... The USB reciever is listed once as a mouse and once as a keyboard. Something went very awry here. This is the output after a fresh boot without xf86-input-mouse installed. The only remaining input drivers I have left from xf86 are:
[rob@rob-thinkpad ~]$ pacman -Q xf86-input-
xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-synaptics
edit
I removed xf86-input-keyboard as well now, still no change...

Aha! After some Googling and hooking up the mouse on a Windows XP machine, I noticed that this is a problem with this specific mouse. Under Windows XP, I get the same behaviour (often a double click, sometimes no click at all). It seems it is time to find the warranty papers for this baby. In case anyone ever reads this, this happened to me on a Logitech VX Nano, after about 5-10months of usage (I don't recall when I bought it exactly).

Acquiring High resolution data from usb mouse movement

Is there a way of acquiring high resolution data from the movement of a usb mouse? I have a NI PCI 6221 daq card to use. I have a Pentium 4 PC with 1 Gb of RAM. I need to get the position, velocity and acceleration of the mouse.
Is there a way to do it with the above hardware.
Thanks in advance

I don't see how you could use a PCI-6221 to get high resolution mouse movement measurements. The PCI-6221 can acquire voltages at up to 250kS/s, but what voltage would you measure? It could also read in digital data at 1MHz, but you would have to be able to understand the USB communication protocol your mouse uses, and I doubt that your mouse vendor will give out that information. You might be able to take your mouse apart and hook up leads to the sensors around the trackball and do a sort of quadrature encoder application, but there's no guarantee we're dealing with TTL digital signals here (you might even be using an optical mouse!).
Your best option - and I have no idea how good this option is - is to use the driver already installed for your usb mouse. What software application are you going to use to program your application that will measure the mouse movements?
If you would consider using LabVIEW, you could set up an event structure to capture mouse movements across the front panel. Each event registered includes a timestamp from the CPU's millisecond clock as well as the coordinates of the mouse. If you stored up a buffer of previous mouse positions and times, you could infer a velocity, perhaps with the help of interpolation functions.
All of this would have somewhere on the level of millisecond timing accuracy. Were you envisioning something else?

Erratic USB mouse movement.

I'm having an issue which I believe is common, however I cant find a proper answer to it.
I have a 3Button USB mouse plugged in, and whenever the cursor goes near anything clickable, the mouse pointer slows down and then speeds up again as I move over the icon/link/control.
I originally thought this was some kind of accessibility feature, I noticed the issue on my universities Mac computers last year.
Some of the software I use for my work requires a 3button mouse, and this problem is making those programs completely unusable.
I have tried numerous USB mice from different manufacturers and no 3rd party drivers or mouse controlling software has been installed.
Is there any way to fix this? the wireless mouse the iMac came with seems unaffected, but It does not support Middle or 2button mouse clicks which I need to do my work.
Thankyou.

This is likely caused by the software that came with your TP mouse. I have experienced a similar problem in the past.
Forst thing I would check is go to system preferences and look for one labeled with the Mouse's brand name (i.e. Logitech) and see if you can disable any predictive clicking options.
Having said this the [Magic Mouse|http://www.apple.com/magicmouse> that came with your iMac certainly does support two-button clicking - you need to enable in from System Preferences > Mouse as it is not enabled as default.

I have a regular usb mouse and it isn't working. It sometimes clicks, but it can't make the cursor move. The red light will not turn on.

I have been using a mouse with my MacBook Pro for a very very long time now:
Optical USB Mouse:
Product ID:    0xc016
Vendor ID:    0x046d (Logitech Inc.)
Version:     3.40
Speed:    Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:    Logitech
Location ID:    0x06200000 / 3
Current Available (mA):    500
Current Required (mA):    100
I'm running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBookPro that is fairly old.
The mouse is detected on the USB port, either one, but the red light won't light anymore so I can't use it to move the cursor. I've tried rebooting, I've tried the cammand-option.P.R thing. Still no red light.
Help?

Mouse Gas?
I took both of them to work and both worked fine in a different Mac laptop. I brought home two other mice and they both work here in my home computer. That works, but I wish I knew why the first two don't work at home because the logitec mouse I bought for home has very light action and the center wheel needs only a very light touch. I really really liked it and can't find one like it to replace it with.

External Microsoft USB Mouse "slows" over clickable objects

I've just gotten around to plugging in a wireless USB mouse from Microsoft into my iBook. Everything is fine except that when I turn sensitivity to the highest setting (the way I like it and have it set on my touchpad), the cursor slows down over clickable objects.
Is there a way around this? The touchpad doesn't have this problem.
Thanks,
James

Thanks for the feedback and sharing the comments from Apple. That kind of information helps other users!
Some other things you can try.
Uninstall the LCC using the original installer.
Then do a manual search of the Library files and delete plist files showing Logitech or LCC in the file name. (Find and Spotlight do not search the libraries by default so you'll need to navigate to the User and System libraries manually before doing the search.)
I used to have a Logitech track ball and I did notice that the LCC software sometimes did odd things I didn't like. After uninstalling the LCC and the plist files, the trackball worked just fine with the default Apple drivers.
The one sure way to get rid of the LCC drivers is to do an Erase and Install of the OS - It is a lot of work....
Short of a full Erase and Install, after manually removing the LCC drivers and plists, you can download and run the 10.5.5 Combo updater which may (or may not) correct faulty driver issues.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_5_ComboUpdate
Hope that helps.

Mouse cursor is stuck top left corner of screen. It will not move. Tried both my Bluetooth mouse, and a USB mouse. Not moving but will click

Tried un pairing the Bluetooth mouse and reconnecting it. No change. Tried both those resets people suggested to others in the forums, that didn't help either. Borrowed my friends USB mouse for his Mac, the same thing. Cursor will not move, but the click works.(this is what is happening for both)
If you are kind enough to offer help, please be aware of the following: this is my first Mac. I really know nothing about them.

Yes, once when I first noticed it, and each time I tried both the pram reset, and when I did the other reset (holding down p&r and the other two buttons before the grey screen, and waited for it to reboot from there). Can't remember what that reset was called

USB mouse freezes after wake from sleep.

Since the 10.8.2 update my Logitech USB mouse freezes after waking up the computer from sleep or when it goes into energy save from non use. This also happens to my brand new MBPR. I tries repair permissions and reset the smc. Any suggestions?

I get a frozen mouse (Microsoft Intellimouse Optical) on my 2012 Mac Mini running Mavericks (it did it with Mountain Lion also) when waking from sleep about 75% of the time which works again if I unplug/replug it (light is on and mouse buttons work when it's frozen, but the pointer won't move). It does this whether I use a built-in USB3 port, a USB2 hub and now also with my new USB3 hub.
However, my 2008 Macbook Pro also has an Intellimouse connected to it when docked and it NEVER freezes when waking from sleep whether using the built-in USB2 port or a Gmyle USB3 card port. Either way, the mouse wakes fine and it's the SAME MODEL MOUSE and SAME OSX verison. I have no idea why the inconsistency. It ***** because "Wake on Network Activity" FINALLY works right here in Mavericks with XBMC on my Mac Mini so there's a perfect opportunity to save some electricity. I got excited when it woke up two times in a row with 10.9.1 and set up my sleep controls only to find it wouldn't go to sleep with the Energy Savings menu because I have an external USB3.0 3TB media drive connected (at all times). I finally found out (through more patient testing) that once the drive spun down (possibly on its own power saving timer as I'm not sure the "Shut down hard drives when possible" setting works in Mavericks; it was messed up in Mountain Lion in 10.8.4 and even though 10.8.5 fixed it, I'm not sure Mavericks is using the same code. It doesn't seem to shut down any faster with or without the setting on and shuts off several minutes after the computer attempts to go to sleep (on a 1 minute test setting; I think WD defaults to 10 minutes in firmware).
Anyway, once that was resolved and I saw it would go to sleep eventually once the drive spun down (it will sleep instantly if I select SLEEP from the Apple menu which I find odd if it's such a big deal that it's connected....), I thought OH BOY! I'm all set. Then I woke it from that sleep and found my mouse was frozen again..... :-( What a PITA to unplug/plug the mouse every time it wakes from sleep. It's not worth it. I'll just have to pay the extra few bucks in electricity each month I could have saved to avoid such a freaking nightmare hassle. Why on God's Green Earth, Apple CANNOT or WILL NOT fix their darn energy savings features is just beyond me. Instead of spending all their time making horrible horrible ugly icon/GUI updates to iOS and making it slower and slower and slower, why don't they actually fix some darn bugs in OSX for once in their lives.... I'm starting to think I should give Windows another chance I'm so annoyed right now. But then I think about having to run a malware program and have that program update and Windows software/security updates 3x a day and I think I can just deal with the Mini not sleeping.....
I'd like to know why Apple couldn't figure out those of us with multiple monitors would want a dock on BOTH monitors all the time either (first side-mount docks wouldn't migrate and now in 10.9.1, bottom-mounted docks won't migrate here either, leaving a dock on one monitor all the time and if that's the monitor that is showing full-screen video, you lost your dock completely while the video is playing. They finally figured out after a full decade that having a menu bar on both screens would be a good idea, but it just didn't occur to them that the same is true of the dock. How much are they paying these guys? Too much apparently (or is it too little to attract talented thinkers? Nah, it couldn't be since we give them feedback and they just ignore it).

USB mouse button doesn't work on MacBook Unibody

Since the trackpad was not working, we have to use a USB mouse to navigate. After a few minutes, the mouse left and right button doesn't work. I can move the pointer around the screen and use the keyboard.
Thoughts

The same problem happens with a Bluetooth apple mouse. You can scroll up, down and use the secondary (the right click) The problem normally developes after the MacBook has been running for a while and gets hot underneath.

USB Mouse Left Click not working, DV6700

I have been using 2 hands to operate the simplist functions on my laptop.
I move the mouse around with my right hand but if I want to click something I have to use the left button under the mouse-pad.
HP support gave me a solution that worked for about an hour (Reset BIOS to default) .
The right click on the mouse (ANY USB mouse) works fine. Its just the select button.
I hate this!
HELP!!!

To CLARIFY:
ANY USB Mouse that I plug into my (DV6700 HP Pavillion) Laptop--- the left click button doesnt work unless I hold it down for over a minute and move it around clicking on and off over and over. It can take 2 minutes before it actually clicks. So, I use the left button under the touch pad. That means its impossible to use this computer for games AND dragging and dropping is weird because I never got used to doing it with a touchpad.
I doubt I will ever buy another HP because of this. I HATE IT!!!
Other USB products act weird too.
I have also deleted all USB components in Control Panel and had windows reinstall them with the wizard.
It worked briefly (couple minutes) then was corrupted again.
Am I supposed to just throw this thing away?

Jumpy USB Mouse

I've been using a USB mouse since I've had my laptop, and it's always worked fine until a week or so ago. When I turn my computer on the mouse will work just fine, but after a while it starts jumping around the screen whenever I move the mouse.
I'm using an optical mouse.
I've tried switching mice, I'm not working on a reflective surface, and I've tried ctrl + cmd + p + r to reset the PRAM. After I reset the PRAM it worked just fine for a lot longer than usual, but it's gone jumpy again. I doubt the PRAM needs to be reset again, so I'm wondering if anybody can help me solve this problem.
Thanks!

I've got a new Macbook (Dec 08) and was having jumpy mouse issues with both the Mighty Mouse and a Microsoft Wireless mouse. The suggestion above seemed to do the trick for me. I disabled the Blue Tooth Network that was set to "off".
Click:
System Preferences
Network
Blue Tooth
Click the minus sign below.
Worked for me. No more jumpy mouse.

Hot corners stop working with USB Mouse?

Hi,
pretty simple one this (to explain anyway)
Hot corners don't work with a USB mouse on my 10.10 MBA.
If the USB mouse is plugged in, hot corners do nothing (Whether I use the mouse, or the track pad to move to the corner of the screen)
If i unplug the USB mouse, they work fine again.
I have rebooted and unplugged and replugged the USB mouse to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you tried another USB port?

3rd party USB mouse won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9

3rd party USB mouse (see specs below)won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9.
http://www.inland-products.com/singleproduct.asp?search=usb&partnum=07340-SpecR
I notice the specs say this mouse works with windows(no mention of Mac) yet the guy where I bought it assured me it would work fine with a Mac. The keyboard/mouse preferences shows a muouse but there is no movement or response from mouse. I would assume it was not reading it if not from appearance of "mouse" preference. I also have intalled UBBoverdrive in hopes that that might help but device/mouse menue does not appear to support mouse.
Is there a way to get this to work or should I just return it to the vendor?
Can anyone suggest a good CHEAP 3n button mouse for Mac?

The name of that mouse is deceiving. It is not a USB mouse it is a wireless mouse. Unfortunately without the proper OS X drivers for the USB/wireless adapter you won't be able to get that thing to work.
If you are looking for an inexpensive USB mouse, checkout the Kensington Mouse in a Box Optical.
Does your iBook have Bluetooth? If so take a look at the Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth Mouse. I have one of these and it works great.
