mouse scrolling problem

by toxicccc • 28 Mar 2011, 18:42 • Journals
Basically my mouse is automatically scrolling through everything... websites, word documents, notepads, irc... anything that has a scroll bar. My hand wouldn't even be near the mouse and it starts scrolling furiously... I've already googled this but I don't have much time tonight, what I read on google wasn't conclusive and didn't actually fix the guys problem..

Please leave your replies here and I'll read them later tonight or tomorrow morning.

I haven't changed any settings at all, just started out of the bluel.

Ps. I'm on Windows 7 & I have an mx518.

Thanks! <3

Uninstall and reinstall all mouse drivers.

Uninstall, run CCleaner to make sure no registry files for Logitech mousedrivers are installed, then reinstall drivers again.

Btw, is this on your laptop? Check your touchpad settings!

Some laptops have a button that disabled the touchpad on the fly. Best thing to do is Google your laptop make and model number and the phrase "how to disable touchpad on" and you should find out.

Its very random... its awful when I first open anything that has a scroll bar, but then it stops at some point or another... for example, right now its fine. In ET, for example, I change my fov by using the scroll, so scrolling up gives me 1 fov, and scrolling down gives me another fov... My problem doesn't effect this though, as it isnt scrolling when ET is open cos I can tell it isn't.
There is no dust, I cleaned it when it 1st happened :D

Guess I'll reinstall drivers tomorrow :( Hopefully it works!

Cheers

for a temporary fix I would use Setpoint (which you should use with ur MX518,until ur one of those "I-use-razer-driver-for-my-Logitech-mouse"-Gangsta :D) to "unbind" the scroll function.
After all reinstalling the drivers might help.

Sometimes happens to me when I accidently click some random key and/or mouse combinations (I guess), don't know if it's the same for you..
Tried replugging the mouse while it's scrolling?

silly question: could it be your keyboard if its not happening in game? :D

toxicccc 29 Mar 2011, 01:15
i don't think so!
cos when i try to scroll with my mouse when my laptop loads, it doesnt work at 1st, then it goes mental, and works for some points later!

o.O are you using >500Hz? my 518 used to fuck up at 1000 but was fine at 500

try some newer steelseries ones, i loved 518 but ikari optical totally raped it up; you seem like you'd have big enough hands to handle that shit!!
