![]() It’s not really that great though – even when it does work, it’s just simply an alternative to using ALT+TAB. I even tried updating the Logitech SetPoint drivers to the latest version (3.1.116) and I still got the same results. But if I minimize everything then try pressing it at the desktop the menu comes up flawlessly. Let me explain:įirst off, most of the time it doesn’t work – even as I am typing this in Microsoft Word with two other applications and a folder open, after pressing the button the application menu doesn’t come up. Now this may sound kind of useful but unfortunately it is executed poorly. When pushed, it brings up a small menu that shows all the applications that are currently running. This one requires the Logitech drivers and is quite frankly pointless in my opinion. This function is done all by the mouse itself, no drivers are required to increase or decrease the sensitivity on the fly.Īnother one of the MX518’s functions is the application switch button. These are great when playing games where one moment you need pinpoint accuracy then the next you need a bit faster pointer speed (eg, using a sniper then drop it for an assault rifle) – this can all be done in game and on the fly. The feature I found most useful is the two sensitivity buttons located in front and behind the scroll wheel. The MX518 features 8 buttons, 6 of which can be assigned to different functions using the Logitech SetPoint software that comes with the mouse that I’ll talk about later. The MX518 also slides very nicely on almost any generic mouse pad – I’ve been using a ruddy old Nortel pad and the mouse feels very smooth. (I’m sorry if those figures are incorrect, to weigh the mice I used a baking scale that is at least 40 years old since nothing better was available). It weighs about 110 grams, compared to a standard Microsoft optical mouse which weighs about 80 grams. It has a fairly good weight, not too light and not too heavy. The shape and the overall feel of the mouse is very good, it fits snugly in the hand and with the left side of the mouse curved inward it makes it even more comfortable to hold. This is not the result of losing too many sessions of CS:S but it’s actually just a very clever graphic design which is usually bound to impress at LAN parties. Now launch Setpoint and your mouse should be detected.The most distinct feature of the MX518 is the ‘dents’ all over the top of the mouse.Launch the application CDDRV_installer.exe found in the \1-SetPoint\CDDRV.Extract its contents to a directory of your choice.But it is the role of the cddrv directory to provide such information to the system works: Necessary steps: For the mouse to be taken into account it had to be listed in the Device manager pane as the "Logitech HID-compliant cordless mouse" and not "HID mouse". How to fix it?įor some unknown reasons the problem is related to the CDDRV/CDDRV2 directory which looses its functionality after installing Setpoint. But there is only three DPI settings: 400, 8. ![]() However, the mouse is recognised by Windows PC and is functioning properly. The only tab that appears is "option" and you can not access the advanced settings of the mouse, such as the sensitivity setting. ![]() This article will explain what the problem is and how to fix it. Are you unable to detect your new Logitech mouse? A number of people have experienced this problem after having installed Logitech Setpoint (the mouse management tool). ![]()
