The Logitech software "Options" found somewhere on Logitech, does register this mouse, but the settings available are the scrollwheel and Scrollbutton, sensitivity and Mouse4 and Mouse5.Īssigning other functions Mouse4 or Mouse5 doesn't change the problem. It however is supposed to have a high variety of settings, as I found out from support pages for other mice, but as I said, it doesn't register the M500s I got.
The Logitech software "SetPoint" is on the download list at logitechs M500 mouse, but it isn't registering the M500s I got and is considered outdated on some forums I searched. Logitech has just a purchase page for this mouse, but not a support page. It is nowhere documented, so I assume it is a bug, like ghosting on keyboards. In ET I have crouch on Mouse4 and Binoculars on Mouse5, so whenever I decide to crouch and shoot, it just keeps shooting until I click left again. In Windows, it can be used for drag&drop or selecting without holding down left click, but I don't need this. NOTE: When you disable smooth scrolling in SetPoint, it will be disabled for everything: Chrome, Internet Explorer, and the Windows 8 Start screen apps.The problem is, when I hold down Mouse4 or Mouse5 and do a left click, it locks the left click. Launch SetPoint by clicking the SetPoint icon in the Notification area and select Mouse and Keyboard Settings.Ĭlick on Pointer Settings, and clear Enable Smooth Scrolling.Ĭlick Apply and then OK to exit the SetPoint User Interface. If your mouse has a Scroll Left and Scroll Right function, use that instead of the scroll wheel. If scrolling is too fast or too slow with some of your Windows 8 Start screen apps, try the following: NOTE: To enable the smooth scrolling plug-in, follow the steps above, and in step 4, click Enable.

Select Extensions > Logitech SetPoint and clear Enabled. To disable the Logitech SetPoint smooth scrolling plug-in for Google Chrome:Ĭlick the icon on the upper-right corner and select Settings. NOTE: You can disable the SetPoint plug-in for the Internet Explorer and Chrome browsers individually, but if you disable smooth scrolling in SetPoint, it will be disabled for everything: Chrome, Internet Explorer, and the Windows 8 Start screen apps. In this case, you can also disable the SetPoint smooth scrolling plug-in. If you're using Start screen apps in Windows 8, it's also possible that the app you're using can't properly interpret the smooth scrolling function. If you're having problems with erratic scrolling, please upgrade to SetPoint 6.52 or later, which improves scrolling for these browsers.Īfter upgrading to SetPoint version 6.52 or later, you may still experience erratic scrolling on individual web sites or pages that implement technologies differently. SetPoint versions 6.50 and later include a smooth scrolling plug-in for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
