Mx518 issues

by smoove • 7 Jun 2010, 12:43 • Journals

Hello Crossfire community ! Switzerland

I've got a problem => My mice , the mx518 is acting very weird. When I'm in-game (ET), it sometimes doesn't react for a very short moment (0.5sec-1sec). And this especially happens WHEN i press a lot of keys on my keyboard which is also logitech (both run over setpoint 4.6). So I really have no idea what to do because the red light (laser) doesnt shut off AT ALL. And when i'm not playing ET it works just fine.
So any ideas guys how I could solve this mysterious problem ? :o

Thanks for reading

See y'all.

Same happened to me. My solution: I bought a Razer Deathadder. ;)

uninstall setpoint

Parent

mine is starting to be gay too, general wear i guess, time for new mouse!

how long u had mx ?

Parent

few years ;D

Parent

i have mine like 2nd year now i guess, working fine still :o just that it keeps getting dust even when i clean my room, the "rubber" area at the forward where the wire goes is always full of dust, and also those cracks are full of crap, dunno where it goes there :o

Parent

full of your dead skin!

Parent

that just sounds wrong

Parent

deathadder is the way to go m8

Parent

Hehe, if you'll hand over the money that's no problem :p.
But thanks

Parent

i can't afford anything right now :P

Parent

Aww .. :(
I totally understand , Life's a bitch ; - )

Parent

expensive and i have large hands!

Parent

how do you hold your mouse?

Parent

i click with like the middle part of my finger, palm flat on the top ;X why?

Parent

cuz i use sort of a claw-hand shape to hold my mouse. I just like the DA cuz it fits the "claw"

Parent

I have small hand, there is 2 side buttons on DA. I broke the rear and I am not able to push the front one ingame because I have to lift my hand for that :-/

Parent

that's fucked up ;)

Parent

what solitude said

u don't actually need setpoint, just get hidusbf and turn ur hz to 500, problem solved

Thanks for your replies. There's only one thing I don't get which is : Why does my mice start not to react for short moments NOW, because I've had the same setpoint version as I do now from the beginning on, 500hz too and it never happened before."hidusbf" does that change DPI or ..? And yes I will uninstall setpoint.
I'll reply if that was the problem^^

Parent

hidusbf only changes Hz, still if you got Mx you got this "on-fly-dpi-changer" so just change ur ingame sens to fit some of those on the fly dpi's :) Also high dpi will cause negative acceleration, which means if you move mouse fast with high dpi it will not move, or it will move really slow, high dpi requires also high resolution to minimize the negative acceleration. I hope this helps :)

Parent

Uninstal setpoint.

Lower prerendered frames.

It's setpoint. Deinstall it.

stop blaming setpoint ^^ it works out nice for me with mx518 and g15

Parent

try a different usb hub by the way could the one its plugged into is dying?:}

(if you do change your usb hub your Hz will reset if you set it using hidusbf again assuming you used the check box to make the patch device specific)

So you want to tell me if I unplug it and plug it in again, my hz reset? Well mayb that is the problem since before that never happened 2 me. This could be the salvation if I understood ur explanation correctly.

Parent

im saying use a different USB HUB in case the one it is plugged into atm has got some physical defect (which can happen over time)

Parent

Did that already, it stays the same.

Parent

well try the mouse in another machine if you can at least then you'll be able to say for sure if it's the mouse or the computer :[

do you have another mouse you can try and see if you get the same problem using that as you do with the mx518..

Parent

Not a bad idea to try out. I've got enough things I can try out now to see what is the issue.
But you've invested enough time to help me now so enjoy your afternoon and drink some beers

Cheers mate and all the others aswell.

Parent

Try running at lower hz, the higher your hz the more CPU time its going to going to require. Sounds like your CPU is just lagging.

I doubt that.

Parent

I doubt your Mum wanted to keep you.

You just got instigated, bitch.

Parent

calm down fatty

Parent

*COUNTS TO 10*

I'm not fat I'm big boned. Ask your Mum how big boned I am.

Parent

My Mom is dead you cunt.

Parent

That's cause she couldn't handle my girth.

Parent

At least ur following through with your insults and not apologizing like a little faggot. I respect that. She's not dead btw, just wanted to start flaming if you apologized like a little bitch. Anyways your still a dumb flappy little cunt imo. Have a nice day tho.

Parent

I had a nice day, thanks, good days work INSTigating nubs on cf, then home for some lovin' from yo Mamma. The bitch can't cook worth a fuck btw, and looks better with a cock in her mouth.

Parent

I've had my mx518 for 7 years or something and it's also starting to act up.

random freezes for 0,5-1,5secs... gay :(

7 years? :D

Parent

yeh, ever since et came out or something

Parent

you can has my 2 days old mx518. get it before i start vomit over this crap shit.

Parent

best mouse i ever tried

Parent

go try deathadder imo.

Parent

i did.

it's good but it doesn't fit my hand that well.

also i was mistaken, i have an mx510, not 518!

Parent

ah ok!
go sell it to clown then and get a mx518 :DDDDDDDDd

Parent

No! I just fixed it myself. My cat bit through the cable causing bad connectivity :D

Just fixed and good to go for another 7 years!

Parent

ahahah :D

Parent

My mouse also plugged out, i think it is sensor because when i did big moves it always freezed.
Buy new mouse. I got new mx518 from warranty(3years)

Let me rescue you :)!

If I understand you correctly the keyboard is also included in this problem?
In my experience I have had exactly the same problems with my mouse. It freezes every now and then.

To solve the problem you might want to do a few tests whether it's actually the mouse that is causing the problem. If it is, follow these steps:

1. Try wiggling/pull-push carefully the cable to where it's connected to the mouse. Do you see the red light flicker on and off whilst you are doing it?

2. If the light is flickering it is due to a "worn out" cable/broken cable where the cable enters the mouse. To fix this and to save you money from buying a new mouse, you will have to cut and remove the 2-3cm bad piece of the cable and solder the rest of the cables together. It might seem difficult but trust me, it's easy! I made it on my first try and it works just as fine as when I bought it from the first time.

3. My instructions might not be very clear, but if you are interested to work a little bit more on your mx518 mouse you can just PM me here on crossfire and I'll be gladly to guide you along with some pictures (if I find them)...

+1 if the keyboard freezes too

I got a new mx518, not used for even 1second. You can have it for 25€ =)

Never in a million years :o but thanks 4 the lovely, charming offer hihi

Parent

had the same when I used a ps2->usb adapter for my keyboard + 1000hz @ copperhead with my old Intel Coppermine 1,33ghz cpu

had the same prob years ago, when i was using a g15 and a mx518

cant remember how i solved it :/

i still have my first gen mx518 and it still works... only thing is the button under the scrollwheel (normaly used for alt-tabing) is starting to wear... not problems otherwise

btw, hi subby! <3

kauf dir eifach e neui muus :D:D:D::D:D:D:D:D

Parent

5 years mx518 and still no problems! you have got to have respect for your gaming equipment!

yup, saw few people on lan raping their mouse wire -__-
like this:

image: Unbenannt

Parent

I have to admit that a wire sometimes is frustrating, as I have one too. But your picture, that is just exaggerated :D

Parent

my wire is straight 8)
win

Parent

i fucking hate that wire and just bought a deathadder.

Parent

got both lul

Parent

which one you like more?

the mx518.. well i think its pure shit.

i have the razer diamondback which i think up till now was the best mouse i ever used.

now trying out deathadder :))

Parent

deathadder ofc
mx518 has too high prediction

Parent

too high what?

Parent

leave razer sens at 10
don't touch windows pointer
450 dpi
500 hz

Parent

i put it on 9.5 :P
the win pointer thing, i had to set it back via xp control panel....
im gonna try 1000hz poll rate, 1ms ftw (i hope :D)
450 dpi as well.

in game sens around 3.2

Parent

you'll get positive accel with 1000hz

Parent

ah ye :o 500 is alright. why the positive accel?

Parent

dunno lol
habs auch mit der mx518 @1000hz

Parent

hm, war aber viel nicer mit 1000hz. vllt muss ich mit accel zocken x)

Parent

1° It's setpoint
or
2° Your mx518 is dead

Thanks, i'll keep that in mind :D

Parent

k, how i upgrade mobo ? (sry, newb alter)
