Sticky mouse

[london_calling]

Hi

I have a logitech MX revolution and a microsoft keyboard, both usb.

My mouse performance is getting worse and worse, sticky, freezing up getting almost useless.

Windows 7 picks up a microsoft mouse, which I don't have, and which I uninstall in device manager. I don't know if this is a factor and it keeps getting picked up on start up.

Any pointers on how to troubleshoot this?

The mouse you have is wireless, meaning it must lag heavily. What Windows doesn't matter, wireless mouses lag.

better off with a wired one then?

Sometimes relocating the USB dongle helps. I try to keep mine away from the monitor and speakers on my desk.
But I must agree that wired is better. I mainly use the wireless when I'm kicked back surfing.

Absolutely. A wireless mouse is prone to lagging and you must deal with the issue of battery life. Only get one if you have some extreme phobia of cords.

The transmitter might be dying.

I use a Logitech Performance MX mouse and I really don't have any issues with it... other than I wish it was a little larger.

i had a similar problem with my cherry wireless mouse.

New batteries helped for about a day then i just chucked it in the bin.

Must just be age as mine was 4 years old.

Bettter with a wired one, you will find it far lighter in your hand and less of a strain.
