Guest Martin@Home Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Peeps... Does anyone else have experience with this prob ? I play a lot of first person shooters with a combination of keyboard and mouse. Have had a "trust" cordless keyboard and mouse for a while and was having probs in games of this type with my viewpoint spinning and also a combination of keypress and mouse-movement seemed to "lock" whichever key I was pressing at the time ! The "Trust" mouse was pants so I went back to my trusty logitech (Corded) mouse and the above problem stopped so I put it down to having had a dodgy mouse. However, I treated myself to a new logitech Mx700 cordless mouse today and the same old problem is back !!!! Any Ideas ?
Guest JabbaTheSlut Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 is the logitec corded mouse optical or a ball mouse, as dust in the optic can can weird things to happen with the signal for an optical mouse, if they're both optical then its prob down to lag in the mouse and the PC performing the movement you did .5secs ago in .1 sec as it catches up, if you catch my drift?
Guest Martin@Home Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Its optical and logitech claim its as fast, response wise, as a usb mouse ! I would put it down to lag maybe if it did weird stuff then stopped but it doesn't. If, for arguments sake, I strafe left with the "A" key on the board and look around with the mouse at the same time, when I release the "A" key it will just carry on strafing ! The only way I have found to then "Unlock" it is just to randomly press keys until it stops ! I dont think its a dust issue cos the new logitech one came straight out of the box and straight into a firefight playing serious sam !
Guest madu Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 nah, some games have patches to work with non-std hardware - mice including.. Have Logiteck cordless optical, never had trouble. CS and some other shooters were fine, don't play often though. PS: go to device manager>mouse>frequency>200 [set to max value] won't solve thew problem but is a good tip for cordless optical
Guest Martin@Home Posted July 14, 2003 Report Posted July 14, 2003 Nice tip Madu... Will try that, cheers :)

Guest Firaas Posted July 15, 2003 Report Posted July 15, 2003 Cant find anything related to frequency ! What OS you running ? Device Manager > Mice and Other Pointing Devices > Select your device Click the "Advanced Settings" tab and select the highest value for Sample Rate That's for XP :)
