mx518 drivers question

by destiny • 27 Aug 2008, 11:06 • Journals
Hello Crossfire,

I just got back from the PC store with a brand new MX518! :-)
I just reinstalled the Razer driver (HABU mouse) and I'm about to plug in the MX518 so my question is, do you think I should install the driver from the CD I got with the mouse or to download a new driver and install it?

EDIT: the driver at the CD I got with the mouse is SetPoint 4.24a

if it works - don't use the drivers. if it does not work - get them from the internet.

download new setpoint 4.6

btw, for all those who said "don't install the drivers", why? I mean, I used the mouse with and without the drivers and I find it's usability better with the drivers

Lol why the hell would you reinstall habu drivers if you have MX518? They are different equipments.

I installed the drivers.

Just because my MX518 was being retarded and not giving me 1600dpi, stupied piece of trash.

Don't use 4.24a, use 4.00, that works fine. Also after you finished with setting up the mouse, run urtiers accelfix.exe to check everything fine...

Download them and install them unless you dont have 50 MB free on your hardisk..
the driver will help you configture your mouse.. so why not..

you always can disable it so no problems..

Be careful you make the correct choice, this decision will COMPLETELY affect your aim and will determine 100% whether you are retarded or godlike in ET. Be warned.

As long as you make sure windows gets its inputs at a rate of 500hz minimum the windows drivers are fine..
