logitech G500 config

[schrott]

_{EDIT: totally forgot to mention, I have a second mouse , a wireless one, piece of shit microsoft plugged in , if I am on my couch, I just use the other one ... but most of the time it remains motionless on the floor, so I assume it does not interfere with the other mouse signal!}

 

 

hi guys. ...

 

I have the above mentioned moues, and seem to be unable to configure it "properly" ... when I am in ableton, or resolume, or software with tiny areas to click, I seem to be unable to hit it correctly ... same goes for the X (close tab) + new tab in Chrome, I constantly accidently close / delete tabs ...

 

can anybody with the same mouse PLEASE send a snapshot of their configuration with all the speeds, accelaerations, scrolling speeds and resolution ... I am on a mouse pad which is black, or on a wooden table which is bright.

 

thanks for all help and suggestions!

 

(note: no extra weights in mouse, I want a light mouse)

I don't see how it will help you as it's based on preference.

Start with a high DPI and work your way down until you can comfortably hit the buttons. Then set that as your low profile. Then set one where you normally have it for everything else. I would suggest having a look at the different cursors in Control panel > mouse see if a higher contrast cursor or maybe a slightly different shaped one would help.

might help to just use your settings and go from there

hi, thanks for your answer ... I see what you mean ...  I actually dont have trouble with seeing things ...It is more the aiming and when the mouse comes to a stop, it seems to be too unprecise ... feel like a blind person trying to park a car  ... do you have the same mouse? what are your preferences ... thanks though for ur answr bro

Had the same problem.For browsing or gaming just use native dpi such as 800 which will disable any iterpolation (guessing) and disable acceleration in the drivers if u have it on accidentaly.In game just use a higher sensitivity.Set windows mouse speed to 4/10 or 5/10 or 6/10(best because its 1:1) and disable mouse precision(smoothing) and get a "Mouse acceleration fix" as a double safe

Should work

thank you for getting back to my inquiry .... when you say I may have accelaration on in the drivers, would that be to be configured in the logitec menu , or in the windows mouse settings? (i am on win 7 64 bit) .... when you say get a mouse accelation fix ... what would that be , never heard of that before ...

 

thanks in advance for your help!

In "high-end" mice in the mouse software theres usualy a button or a selectable "acceleration" feature.Just disable it or set to 0.

Windows settings:Go to start menu and type mouse and mouse settings(or smthing familiar) will appear so disable "enchance pointer precision" and set the windows mouse (cursor) speed to 4/10 or 5/10 or 6/10(best for gaming and precision due to this uses 1:1 mouse distance) by randomnumber/10 i mean that there are notces and a pullable buttom which you can set , so count from the left to six and pull the button on the 6th notch (Example here: http://i.imgur.com/Bbbomv4.jpg)(Enchance pointer precision should be unmarked,oppsite of the image above)

Mouse acceleration fixes, literaly are .reg files which tweek smthing in windows registry.Just google "Windows 7 Mouse acceleration fix"

hey Z3kron,

 

all your advice and info has been very helpful! ... it allowed me to take it easy and structured ... there is such a BIG difference in the windows mouse speed between 2 and 4 .. 2 is so slow it is unusable ... 4 is already by far toooo far ... I would have never figured that out hadnt it been for your take it slow , a lot explained and nice screenshot help! ....

 

I am a hobby music producer... do you need some music, or music advice ? hit me up any time...

I'm more than happy it helped.Try using 6/10 if you like in my opinion it feels the most natural..

 

Did you disable the "Enchance pointer precision"? If you forgot do that , that makes the mouse feel even and predictable.

 

Cheers!!!
