Logitech MX1000 bluetooth mouse laggy under Vista?

[UCLAN]

I don't care if you accept this, or understand that it is
not just a binary, single-or-no-signal detection but has to
be a one-way communication.

This thread certifies the fact that once you make a comment, you
will say ANYTHING, even make up stuff, rather than admit you were
mistaken. Sad, really.

 

[UCLAN]

You're the one with a mental problem here... the FACT is,
there is a difference in lag. If you dont mind that, if the
difference is slight enough that it doesn't effect anything
you're doing, or even slight enough to go unnnoticed by you,
then it wasn't a bad product for you.

There are OTHER people with OTHER needs, who deserve FULL
information. Same story different day, while you may
SUBJECTIVELY like a product, an OBJECTIVE comparison would
have to include the fact that there is a response lag.

A lag in the nanosecond range, perhaps. An *observable* lag? Nah.
And the OP was complaining about "severe lagginess." For you to
say that all cordless mice suffer this malady is hardly objective,
and far from the truth.

And that its never managed to grasp the basics of the Rule of Holes either.

Sad, really.

Pathetic too.

Try it without the driver installed for mouse & keyboard.
In that situation is there still lag?

Such problems are typically due to too great a distance from
receiver, too much metal around the receiver (Or
mouse/keyboard themselves), too much interference from
nearby devices operating in same frequency range
(bluetooth's frequency hopping should help, but it's still a
potentially congested band at 2.4GHz), or for mouse-only
problems, a sub-optimal mousing surface.

Sorry for the delay responding - didn't see this thread had exploded
so much. I have helped the problem a little by putting the usb dongle
in one of the front usb sockets, however it really is so sensitive.
There is no more than 2-3m between mouse and usb dongle and they are
in line-of-sight on the same level, and even if I put my knee in the
way the mouse drops out. I can resolve it by holding it in the air
for a few seconds. Getting very very annoying and as the mouse has no
cord it's getting close being smashed against the wall - sod this for
a laugh - I'll go back to a corded mouse and a usb extension cable.

I will try without the SetPoint drivers and see if that helps. I
will also get a usb extension cable and see if I can get the dongle
even closer to the mouse.

Does anything else think this might be a Vista issue rather than a
hardware issue?

If you can't even discern it how could you quantify it?

The fact remains, many many many people do have accute
enough senses and demanding enough uses to notice the
difference.

I'm not the first nor the last person to notice the
difference. The sad part is that you can't tell and then
think nobody else could because of that alone. I'll bet
there are a lot of thinks you could distinguish that other
people couldn't, with other products, but you don't want to
consider subjectivism.

Huh? I'm saying you CAN'T see a lag in the nanosecond range. Period.
Muddle it up all you want.

difference.

Right. Are these the same people that can tell the difference in
sound when $200 silver wire is used in line level audio connections,
rather than good quality standard shielded RCA cables?

Like the standard 14 gauge speaker wire I use. People swear that
their $300 MonsterCable speaker wire sounds better because they
WANT it to sound better. You claim you can see a nanosecond lag
in a MX700 because you WANT to see it. You're delusional.

The same mindless claims are made by the advocates of oxygen
free cables etc with audio systems. Turns out that not one of the
golden ears brigade can actually pick it in a proper double blind
trial, so its pure fantasy. Drug crazed fantasy in your case.

True in spades of oxygen free cables, werewolves, leprechauns,
vampires, dragons, yetis, aliens, angels, etc etc etc.

Unlikely, and until he can pick it in a double blind trial, ALL it is is a CLAIM.

but you don't want to consider subjectivism.

Yep, we've noticed the problem with oxygen free cables, werewolves,
leprechauns, vampires, dragons, yetis, aliens, angels, etc etc etc.

Self-contradicting troll. Can't even argue a logical point without
flipping sides.

Go back and ask mommy if you can go outside to play now. Go ahead, get
along now, junior.

Hi there - I've just installed a Logitech MX5000 bluetooth keyboard
and MX1000 bluetooth mouse under Vista and am experiencing severe
"lagginess" under Vista. I haven't tried it under Windows XP but can
anyone tell me if they've had similar experiences? Is it Vista or
crappy mouse design?

Cheers,
Andy

Had one under XP with same problem. Logitech was no help - finally returned
both the keyboard & mouse to them & went back to an earlier version that
worked. Seems they've had quite a bit of trouble with the MX5000 Bluetooth
according to the messages in their support forum.

Not a shred of flipping sides involved at all, child.

Problem is you made up the "nanosecond range" part, as if
it's that short.

rather than good quality standard shielded RCA cables?

No, these are the same people who have the mice and
demanding enough use to notice the difference.

It is sad you can't accept what so many people have observed
for themselves even after assuming there wasn't a difference
as you did.

How about comparing a 28 gauge subwoofer cable with a 12
gauge?

Your arbitrary attempts to apply dissimilar situations don't
help your argument, nor do they get rid of the lag you are
too in love with your MX700 to notice.

 

[UCLAN]

No, I'm just continuing to question your explanation that the
lag is caused by the difference in RF transmission versus wired
transmission: "We do in fact know that there is a higher latency
from a radio communication than over wire. It is measurable,
repeatable, satisfies every criteria of scientific proof except
on Planet Rod." Do the math. How long does it take for the RF
signal to travel a couple of feet?

No, these are the same people who have the mice and
demanding enough use to notice the difference.

It is sad you can't accept what so many people have observed
for themselves even after assuming there wasn't a difference
as you did.

Just as I can't accept that they hear a difference with the audio
cables, a difference they continually cannot correctly identify in
A/B tests. Methinks the same would be true with your mouse vision.

Now that's just plain silly. Nobody actually uses 28 gauge subwoofer
cable.

Your arbitrary attempts to apply dissimilar situations don't
help your argument, nor do they get rid of the lag you are
too in love with your MX700 to notice.

Not at all dissimilar. They illustrate the point that those that
hear a difference in the audio cables do so because they WANT to
hear a difference. Give them a properly administered A/B test, and
the difference magically disappears. Methinks the same thing would
happen to you in a mouse test. You just won't admit it.

Unlikely, and until he can pick it in a double blind trial, ALL it is is a CLAIM.

Here's 2 gamers who found lag to be a real trial with their wireless
mice. They're both blind, so it was a double blind trial.
Now shut the **** up, roo.

1.
I'm familiar with the effect. I had a crappy wireless mouse (Logitech
Mouseman?) come with my logitech elite keyboard. I never used it
because I'd move the mouse and the cursor would take a little under a
second to actually respond. This delay was extremely disorienting.

That wasnt what was being discussed. What was being discussed was whether
there is any lag noticeable with the BEST wireless mice, not ANY wireless mouse.

signal to travel a couple of feet?

Again, it is not only a matter of an idealized transmission
speed of air vs wire. Same thing with wifi networking, if
your basic idea of nanoseconds were true, a 108Mbps link
would really come quite close to that, but obviously it does
not, not even with a single continuous file transfer to
minimize latency.
