Mouse help #2

by Jay • 12 Jan 2016, 22:22 • Journals
Hi guys.

I posted a journal before about my mx518 not working propperly. I am not able to set my mouse to 500 hertz with all kind of programs you guys posted in my previous journal. My zowie EC1-A is absolutely smooth but with my mx518 it feels like it lags in some kind of way. Im looking for someone who is willing to help me out on irc/teamviewer since I cant solve it myself.

thx!

I dont like the shape.. and I dont like the lift of range ( its rly small ). Since my sens is kinda low and I got a cloth pad, sometimes my movement just sticks.

You can adjust the LOD on it though....

I can't use 400 or 800 on it for example because of my high sens, because it's fucking shit and the movement of the mouse looks ridiculous on the screen (stuttering)

well for me I feel I cant use low sens cause I got the feeling I got stuck on every movement on 800 dpi aswell..

You sure you dont have a defected piece?
Because I'm starting to think about returning this this, I will record how it looks like for me if i use 400 / 800 dpi ingame, unplayable, tried different mousepads also.

And when I took it out of the box, the LOD was too fucking high for me, always tracking lol

Sounds like you got a defected piece :P My zowie works as it is supposed to I think, but its just the the right one for my aiming style.

Yeah, most likely. Worst mouse I've ever used and I constantly seem to have issues with HZ also. Gonna probably go back to my broken eVo, even that shit works better, ha

I've got the Zowie, best mouse I've ever used next to IME3.0.

The old version had few issues tracking on colorized pads, but the current works perfectly fine. Doesn't stutter, doesn't "stick". Low LOD could be an issue for some, but as Bobika pointed out you can change that.

In any case, if it's not related to you lifting the mouse off the pad excessively I'd definitely have it returned and replaced. Sounds broken.

I changed the LOD indeed, It feels much better already. Its not broken it works fine now.

Jay 12 Jan 2016, 23:38

If you feel the lift-off distance is too low:

Please disconnect the mouse and hold down M4 + M1 + M2 and then connect the mouse through USB

If you feel the lift-off distance is too high:

Please disconnect the mouse, hold down M4 + M1 and then connect the mouse through USB

If you want to back to standard setting:

Please disconnect the mouse, hold down M5 + M1 and then connect the mouse through USB

If you are using ZOWIE SWIFT:

Please disconnect the mouse, hold down M4 + M2 and then connect the mouse through USB

BOBiKA 12 Jan 2016, 23:49
You pull the cable out of the PC case, you hold those buttons down(press them and hold them) and plugged the mouse back in while still holding them :D (PC must be on obviously)
