I guess we use mice the same way. I know after 12+ hrs a day, every day 52/365, mine sees many thousands of 'clicks' and 'drags' per day and batteries are not going to last as long as they would for a 'normal' PC user. I'm going to see what I can find out on those odd cursor movements. Logitech makes GREAT products, but their support is the worse I've ever seen, so I'm not going to even attempt it this time. Software is rather buggy too. FYI, the software that came with this 'cordless mouseman pro' I use now, is screwed up. Just like 'mouseware' versions after 8.0 (for their other cordless balled models), there is no way of removing the mouse icon from the sys tray. EVEN AFTER you uncheck the box in it's properties, it remains when you restart. With my other Logitech cordless mouse I had to stay with V8.0. (versions after 8.0 to 9. [something] had this problem). With the new one, it has to use a different type of software and version since it's a totally different mouse. It came with 9.28 and it was plagued by the same problem. I tried v9.4 (I think it is) from their site, and it worked ok.
I even moved the mouse from the PS/2 port to the USB port, and still on occasion have that odd movement. I bet it's software related because I can almost swear that when I first got this mouse and tested it on another HD With the old version 8.0 mouseware, it did NOT have that jerky movement! But of course, that software would not work....the programmable button functions was not there, therefore HAD to use at least v9.28 that came with it. (preferably. v9.4) In my case I only have that odd movement when I copy and paste something, or try to move the cursor when a webpage is loading. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputerHardware-ConsumerElectronics.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes Clint, mine has been jerky as well which normally is not a problem but lately with a lot of graphics tweaking on hand it has become a nuisance so much that I'm about to get a corded model. BTW, my brother inlaw has a cordless keyboard and has had the same batteries in it for almost 9 months. I can just imagine this mouse with the kids computer after a few days they would be looking all over the house for the lost mouse ;-) Peter Kaulback In the hour of 03:33 AM 2/23/2002 -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton spoke this: >That's about what it did with me.
