hello everyone I just bought a Logitech MX518 gaming mouse to replace my crappy Pleomax mice. I have tried everything but I still can't get the scroll wheel to function at all. Almost like it's defective. I was thinking of going back to the shop to claim RMA this weekend but umm folks at Logitech support forum seems to think it's the driver glitch/not being installed properly (P.s i did EVERYTHING they told me , nothing works to fix it) I really hope it's a not a driver glitch (if it is , damn you logitech) Guys who own or have owned this mouse before is it a driver glitch or do I have a defective mouse (scroll wheel)?



*Edit* The scroll wheel does not scroll up or down , instead only works when i Press it down meaning it's not functioning as a "scroll wheel" lol
Seriously , 100bucks on a mouse that has no scroll wheel


Kent,

Even without the logitech driver the scrollwheel will work normally
maybe defective, try adjust the mouse properties at control panel

Ya that's what I was thinking mate , tried Control panel - mouse - properties , no luck.

Tested it with a normal optical mouse this morning , scroll works on that one. Can't be my PC's usb port.

send it back for a replacement unit .... it shouldnt need a driver for the scroll wheel to work ...

Just RMA it. Ask the ppl in the shop to test it on the spot.

MX518 user here...

when first i hooked up, the mouse detected quickly, the mouse-0, mouse-1, mouse-2, mouse-3; mouse-4 and mouse-5 worked without needs to install the driver, but if need the sensitivity speed on-the-fly, you're gonna need the driver, i installed and works charming until now... , IMO, your mouse probably defective, try your mouse on other USB port on your system; other system...

RMA the mouse since the scroller does nt work...pressing up and down buttons are for sensitivity adjustment on the fly.

no need to install the logitech drive / software to control the speed.just use the + and - button on the mouse.THe software needed when u want to set the speed other than 400, 800 and 1600-dpi (factory default)

true³... just found out just now...

i dont think if ur using windows xp or vista need to install driver for the mouse...i think should b the mouse problem
