Logitech SetPoint software woes again. One of the things that troubles me most with this software is that I can’t permanently set left button as right click and vice-versa. SetPoint software does not allow that, and when I do it through Control Panel it is back to default after logout. Now, this software is anything between 30MB and 50MB download heavy and it does allow you to do such basic stuff. Maybe to protect me from being stupid and setting both buttons to right click or something? Who knows, but certainly is annoying.
You see, I use the mouse with my left hand (and I’m not left-handed) even though MX900 is ergonomic model for use with the right hand.
Reason is simple, really – the only two good BT mouses on the market are this and MS Intellimouse and they are both right-hand only. The other mouses on the market are simple entry models. There are no neutral versions which is really a shame. It seems that bluetooth-enabled mouse market is rather small. :S
Anyway, Logitech’s software…the answer to all my problems is what else but enthusiasts that know: uberOptions pack by Richard Lowens. His options pack – in his own words – simply changes Logitech’s own XML files. Now, Logitech – why you don’t have this, via some Basic / Advanced modes? I mean, really…such a fabulous piece of hardware is being crippled by mediocre software package.
Richard, many, many thanks.
So you like this piece of plastic :) … Can you tell me where did you buy this in Belgrade ? I am realy considering to change my mouse,i have now some crapy 10 euro oem logitech ‚and my arm started to heart realy badly .…
Is this mouse good deal ?
Price/Quality ?
Yes, quite a bit. :)
It’s a good mouse. Laser works perfectly on mat-black table, it’s precise enough that I don’t have problems using it in Photoshop or playing Age of Kings (measurements and dpi means shit to me until I really try this out). The Bluetooth hub works as advertised and my Nokia 6680 connects without problems. Now, with the software patched, it’s great buy.
The included batteries are not very good and you will need to charge the battery overnight — which is not a hassle as the hub is just there — no separate chrager to plug in — simply slide it on the top of the hub. When used with quality rechargables (I used the 2000mAh ones I already had for my digital camera) then you can pool out several days without re-charging them. Bluetooth is a bitch and sucks great deal of power. If this is a concern for you — do not buy any Bluetooth mouse. Regular wireless mouses can work on quality alkalines for months.
I’m very satisified with it. The only con I can find is that it is not simetrical, but that’s the way it is. As soon as something like that shows up and it’s good as this one, I’ll change the mouse.
Tnx … i must find some good mouse for myself,and i will consider this one, as one of first which will consider in my future buy.
