yup. 1st thing i did.

Bah! Beaten to it.

The tic box apparantly helps allot with mouse lag.

Other ideas: Move the base closer to the mouse, make sure the reciever is in a usb 2.0 port, by a faster computer.

It may also be the surface you're using your mouse on. I've worn out the surface where I keep my mouse and it sometimes causes problems with my mouse.

i will try the tic box then.

reciever is as close as possible. im not going to buy a faster computer just for the mouse! lol.

wait, ive heard that optical mouses cant be used on some types of mouse pads. is this true?

The surface can't be translucent or have holes. That is about it now.

Check location

First of all is it a bluetooth? if so I have had horrid luck with the logitech 1000 series wireless opticals

(the one packaged with the mx5000 setup)

Honestly if it is that mouse return it asap

Things with weird reflective surfaces tend to screw with some of them (and not others) shiny things are bad as well as transparent

I hated my wireless mouse. The cursor was all over the place and I had to replace batteries constantly. Get a mouse with a wire.

Fellows works nicely too:D

yeah, i switched to my old mouse, a 5 year old wired mouse and it works much better than the brand new wireless mouse!

Change the batteries. Or get a wired mouse.

At this time, commercial wireless technology affordable to the average consumer is simply not technologically advanced enough to truly be worthwhile for mice. In most instances, the cord is far more than sufficient length. I cannot recall a single time when a cord proved to be too short. I have occasionally had problems with it tangling and making it more difficult to move the mouse, but that is an easy problem to rectify.

Simply put: wireless mice, at this time, are not worth it. Period.

Don't have a wireless... my batteries die/the mouse screws up about once every two weeks...

Good point. Until you get to the Logitc G7, it just isn't going to cut the mustard.

And the G7 is $99.99 US.

I've a Kensington Pocket mouse for my laptop... and it eats batteries at a rate of replacing them once a week or more. Other than that, it's fine. ;)

Damnit! You beat me to it.

Try enegizer lithium batteries, they last forever in anything! :eek:

"They keep going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going!"

I have used Duracells, and am using Energizer Max, but they are alkaline batteries. Once I finish the package (there were 24 in there, should be another couple weeks ;) I'll give your suggestion a shot.
