Mouse Speed Issue

[Zxian]

@ripken - not true. The "enhance pointer precision" is the equivalent of acceleration. On my system it's unchecked.

so now you listen to zxian and not me... zxian has the same exact setup as me.

It's not that I listen to Zxian per se, it's that I listen to facts. I don't care who brings them to the table, but I always base my opinions on the truths at hand. Edited April 19, 2007 by jcarle

Hello, thanks for the help guys;

When i first plugged the mouse into my USB port, the mouse was already slow. I then went into control panel to increase the speed to the maximum, and it was still slow!

Then, i installed the latest software for it from Microsoft website. The software did not make a difference.

I'm not sure what the DPI of the mouse is, but im sure that's the problem. Since this is a basic mouse, it was probably meant for lower resolution monitors.

I'd suggest getting your hands on the Logitech MX500 series of mice (500, 510, 518). It's a great lineup, and all of them are VERY comfortable.

They're also Logitech... so you just can't go wrong there.

Plus you get a thumb back AND forward button.

im not sure when the rev2 of the logitech g5 is coming out, but it will have a forward and bckward button

Yea - the lack of a forward button is what put me off of the G5/G7 and why I recommend the MX500 series. Trying to browse the web without a forward button is like trying to ride a unicycle...

Update,

I used it on my old computer, which was a 17 inch monitor and the mouse worked fine.

I came to the conclusion that because of my big a** monitor the mouse doesn't have a high enough DPI value to move that fast.

At least the mouse isn't a total failure
