mx518 prob

hey guys.
i've had my mx518 for 1.5-2 years now, and i know that's when they usually start having problems.

my mouse just stops working and i have to unplug it and replug it for it to continue working. they eye might be dying because the mouse is still on but it just doesnt sense anything.

however, this only happens in game. not on the desktop. happened in HoN once or twice but it happens a lot in et.

ideas anybody?

and it only happens in game

i had a g9 where the cable broke and it just stopped working all together :S

the fact that it only stops working in game and that if i replug the usb it starts working again leads me to believe that this isnt the problem :S
Parent
yes it is.

will u belive me after 30 comments of HAD THE SAME, ITS THE CABLE

i had the same... only ingame.. not in windows, repluging helped but when your mouse will freeze every minute u wont be arsed to replug anymore
Parent
ok tyvm then!
Parent
Yeah, believe you me the cable is broken. Any 5pin USB cable will do fine, with or without a resistor however i believe that without will preform better.
Parent
the cable wont affect the dpi or polling rate in any manner?
Parent
Not sure, i seriously doubt it hold on ill check

Yeah, it's stable. It's really easy my friend, trust me. Follow the tutorial and if you have any questions /q Scarzy :)

E: DPI is fine too, that's the sensors job. USB is just traffic.
Parent
ok, thank you very much!
Parent
same here

y, buy a new mouse. normal prob with these mices. i won't get better
m1ke is right, only way to break 518 is the wear-out of the cable, right near the mouse itself...
My MX518 died, cause the Mouse1 Button didn't work anymore!
Parent
Weird. Stop playing browser games or learn to keep the button down while shooting with smg :)
Parent
No i think tower line defene killed it xD like 15klicks a sec
Parent
Cable fucked up. I got my 3rd mx518 and I know what is the problem.
Buy cheap usb mouse and switch wires. U need 5pin wire cable. I had the same problem :(
Mouse broken :D
format
its the wire, you can either get it repaired or you can buy a new :P
I think that buy a new mouse is better : D.
Parent
If you have some shop nearby then you should be able to get it fixed pretty cheap ^^ atleast frizer did that but ofc it would be easier just to buy a new mouse :>
Parent
