Mouse..

hej

Since my old mx518 suddenly decided to fuck up and give me that wire /connect/disconnect problem i ordered my a new one.. and it just got delivered. Well anyway, i was just wondering if there was a way to prevent the cable issue from happening again..

It's not as if i was slamming my old mouse on the desk or anything.. it might have been some mouse flicking etc, but gaming mice are supposed to be able to deal with quick movements.. So i guess it was something to do with the wire hanging down behind my desk.. maybe getting caught on the edge.

Would putting a bit of tape over the mouse cable (on my desk) do the job, or are there other ways around it?

Cheers.

tl;dr : New Mx518, how to prevent the cable conenct/disconnect issue?

My brother had the connect/disconnect thing, he gave me his mx518 because he thought it was broken, I use it now and it hasn't ever done it to me :~>

Are you sure the mouse is broke like did you connect it to another PC and it did the same ? Or did you connect any other mouse to the same USB port on your PC to see if it was broke or not
My brother had a similar problem but i just reinstalled (after i completly removed the drivers ofc and reboot) the mouse and tried to connect it to some other USB port and it was fixed

I think tape will do it. Just leave enough loose wire
