Arrow Re: Own a Logitech MX mouse & play games?

Now i wish i had these when i got me mouse!

The drivers that come with the Logitech MX mice are rubbish for games . So i just uninstalled the logitech drives and used the microsoft ones built into XP. Its much better now, before i couldnt use the middle mouse button in games, which is me reload button , but now i can .

I'm not sure if theres a loss in performance though, it still feels pretty nifty, and i doubt the drivers do owt for the laser :/.

Also i noticed that if you adjusted the mouse pointer sensativity in control panel with the logitech drivers installed they would just go back to default when you restart, which isnt very helpful. But if you use the pointer sensativity that logitech have in there driver control panel, it saves forever, but the sensativity in games is affected too :/.

Logitech sort your drivers out!!!!!!!!!

Strange it may seem but I use the Logitech drivers, (latest downloaded from their website for both keyboard and mouse) I have had no problems whatsoever.

Reefsmoka,

You could be spot on that their drivers are no good for games, since I do not play any games I never encountered any problems. That seems a logical explanation, say what?
