Logitec MX518 hangs in Win 7

OCPete · 4 Oct 2013 at 10:30

I have begun to get fairly frequent (a couple per day) intermittent freezes on my Logitec MX518 gaming mouse.

It happens in games and Windows7.

Lasts a couple of seconds when cursor either freezes or loses one plane of movement (x or y axis). Clears itself with no issue, and with no action from me.

I have removed and re-installed the mouse drivers, and software to no effect.

Ideas?

Cheers
Peter

Sounds like the mouse is dying TBH.

Make sure the laser underneath is clean otherwise it might be time to replace

Mine died recently as well. Its given about 7 years of service I think. I think thats a decent life time for a mouse which cost less than £20.00.

I found when my mx518's scroll wheel went and it would scroll like crazy, smashing it hard against the desk temporarily helped.

Thanks for the replies.

It doesn't sound good.

I reckon it might be some sort of conflict tho. I'll have a dig through my loaded USB device drivers and see if i can remove potential conflicts...

I have raised a query with Logitech support.

Fingers crossed their legendary support comes up trumps.
