Hardware :: Unable To Use VX Revolution Mouse
Jul 4, 2009
I have a problem with my mouse (vx revolution) and LCC (logitech Control Center). Creating/changing a settings for an application ( like sketchup, firefox etc) doesnt work, the mouse still uses the "global settings" and not the settings ive defined for the application.
im running os 10.5.7 and the lates LCC (2.7) which i dowloaded today from logitechs home page. Ive been using the mouse with my pc (vista) without any problems. The drivers auto detects the active application and uses the right profile/settings, i assume this is the way it should work on mac as well.

i have a very good mouse logitech MX Revolution that i like very much so that I have bought another equal.
I have bought the second because, since some weeks, the first makes sometimes the double click with the left button instead of the single click.
The problem now is that I have to change the usb receiver too (it seems they are not compatible each other) but doing this all the Logitech SetPoint setting will reset.
I was arguing if there is a way to export the SetPoint settings and import again with the new mouse; it would be a useful backup for the future in case of Pc or mouse changing or variuos problems.
I could write them on a paper and insert again but it's long and unconfortable because there are a lot of button with a lot of function.
Is anyone of you able to import-export the setting?

Just got this mouse and love it so far. Has a much better feel than the mighty mouse and many more options.
To those who use this mouse, what settings do you set yours to.

This is a very strange problem I've had since Leopard. I use a VX Revolution mouse that I love and works great...except when Time Machine is running.
As soon as Time Machine starts backing up, the left mouse button only works intermittently. I cannot fathom why this would be.

I have downloaded the software on logitech but I can't set the microgear (click on scroll) button to auto scroll where I could click and move mouse up and down to autoscroll.

I've just bought a Logitech VX revolution mouse and got it all set up fine, apart form the scrolling. If I have the ratchet mode enabled, it scrolls very slowly, even if I have the scroll speed set to the fastest setting . I can get faster scrolling by using the free wheel mode, but this doesn't seem to give much of an improvement in World of Warcraft . Has anyone else managed to solve this?

The MX is rechargeable, has side wheel, and automatically switches from precision scrolling to hyper-fast. On the other hand, the VX has a zoom slider (which I heard in an Amazon review can be programmed to do almost anything), is cheaper, and when the center button is clicked, it functions as a center click. I'm leaning towards the VX, mainly for the center click (which I love and use all the time when I'm on the internet). I've just got a couple of questions regarding assigning buttons different tasks.
1. Should I use Logitech software, USB overdrive, or Steermouse?
2. Can the search button on the mouse be assigned to perform a keystroke (such as Expose, Spaces, Dashboard, etc.)?
3. Was the Amazon review I mentioned earlier correct in that the zoom slider and the forward/back buttons on the VX be programmed to perform almost any task?
4. Can the buttons (on either mouse) be programmed for different tasks depending on the application?
5. Does the VX have a manual power button to turn it off, or do you have to put in the USB receiver?

I just bought the latest macbook pro. It is actually my first mac so I'm not really sure if this is supposed to happen. But I tried plugging in my "ordinary pc" (meant to say that is not a Mac mouse) mouse which is an A4Tech brand. It's working when I move the mouse in huge spaces. It goes smoothly that way. But when I try to move it in small little spaces, it's kind of like not going smoothly. Especially when I'm working on small details like Photoshop, it's kind of difficult to maneuver the mouse arrow. I tried other "pc" mouse as well but it's just the same.. Does this really happen if I'm not using Mac's mouse? How do I fix this?

it seems logitech has redone the old MX revolution and is calling it the Logitech Performance MX that features a micro adapter and uses double AA's batteries so no more rechargeable crap.

lately the thumb wheel "rubber strip" has worn down, to the point where it's very difficult to use it. I want to pull this mouse apart to fix this issue - I'm just wondering if anyone has done this already and may be able to save me some grief.

I own the MX 5500 cordless desktop keyboard/mice combo from Logitech, just wondering if anybody here in the forum who paired the MX Revolution Bluetooth with their Macs.
At first I intentionally bought the combo just so I can have the Bluetooth MX paired with my MBP, replacing the G5. There's a connection between the mouse and the laptop (as in I can use the mouse), but the many of the features and buttons on the MX has been disabled. My Search button won't even activate anything, and every other buttons other than the left and right click only triggers the scrolling.

Well, choosing between the Logitech mice (wow, what a brilliant company) has made me confused as to which models to buy. I'm looking for one for my Alu MacBook - leaning towards the Logitech VX Nano Also looking for one for a desktop - leaning towards MX Revolution, but I too wish it was in Bluetooth. But, you can get a Bluetooth one in a box deal, right? Is there any way to get it without the keyboard pricing? Is there any downside to Bluetooth? And would anyone recommend the VX Revolution over MX?

I do, and ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, the Logitech Control Panel doesn't recognize my mouse and so I don't have the function/programable keys.

Before I installed the Logitech software, it was perfect. But without the Logitech software, the other buttons didn't work.
After installing the software, I noticed the scrolling to be very very slow in Safari. Even after maxing out scroll speed in system pref. and the logitech soft, it's still slow!

Just got a new 13 Macbook Pro! And even though I love the trackpad, this is my first laptop so I'm just too used to the oldskool mouse, confused between the above two, I want a proper full size one, I was trying out my sisters logitech mobile usb optical, don't really like it. I just want a good mouse + mousepad, wireless or bluetooth preferred. Unless its a rock solid wired option which will be more then enough for a regular user, should I just get like a mx518 and spend money on a ram upgrade?

I just got my MX Revolution today from Newegg and I'm working on configuring it (especially the scroll, which I can't seem to nail). I've been using Logitech Control Center, which seems to do everything I need...
This is what I have so far:
L click: left click
R click: right cilck
scroll: smooth scroll in firefox/safari, alternating scroll globally
scroll click: middle click in firefox, switches scroll modes globally

My first experience with the Logitech Control Center wasn't very good with my V470, so I installed Steermouse. Then I bought the MX Revolution and I didn't even bother with Logitech and just used SteerMouse. Well my trial is up and I don't want to pay $20 and the scroll wheel wasn't functioning correctly so I unistalled SteerMouse and installed the Logitech Control Center.
So I opened Logitech Control Center in preferences, but all I get is "No Logitech device found"
What is wrong? This is why I don't like to use Logitech's software!

First off, I'm doing this on a MBP bought in June of '08, running Windows XP in VMWare fusion off of my bootcamp partition. Also, my Logitech MX Revolution mouse pairs up perfectly fine.
Well, my MX Revolution used to work on my XP partition a while ago, but I hadn't booted up directly into Windows for a while and was just using VMWare Fusion. I recently installed a new game on my XP partition and used bootcamp to directly boot up into it, but it wouldn't work.
I kept trying to use the Bluetooth Devices program in the Control Panel, which kept leading me to using the "Add Bluetooth Device Wizard." I keep using "Don't use a passcode" and it tells me it pairs (when I press the connect button on the bottom of the mouse), but the mouse does not work.
I then kept searching for updates for the Apple Bluetooth drivers, but everything was up to date.
So I decided to go into control panel and go into Add/Remove Programs and tried manually uninstalling that said "Bluetooth Drivers." Unfortunately, I may have screwed something up here haha. I can't find anything to replace those drivers I uninstalled now. I think I've created more problems than I've solved...
Also, when I try and use Logitech SetPoint and use the connection wizard, it just tells me "Please connect Bluetooth USB device" so it's obviously not recognizing the internal Bluetooth receiver (and I made sure it's connected in VMWare, AND I've tried it booting directly into the XP partition!)

Not really directly Mac related, but I seem to be having a problem with my mouse. It worked fine until a few days ago. Scrolling up on the wheel would work fine, then all of a sudden it would move up extremely slow, and it happens when the wheel is pressed into the click position and when its not.

I was all set to pick up a Logitech MX Revolution wireless mouse, but it seems they've been discontinued and replaced by the Performance Mouse MX. Does anybody have one of these, or is the Revolution still available and I'm somehow looking at the wrong site?

I've been wondering about this since I got my Macbook 2 years ago. When I use my mouse in OS X it is not smooth at all but rather feels like it's stuck in mud.
Regardless of the pointer speed setting it just isn't "smooth." I use this mouse in Crossover Windows apps and also in Linux on my other partition and it works fine.
Is this intentional? Can it be adjusted to run smoother?

Ever since installing 10.5.7 I have been experiencing problems with the mouse cursor. On my intel iMac's primary display (but not my external display)... the mouse cursor will disappear while moving the cursor, then reappear after the movement is over, so it looks like the cursor is flickering rapidly when it's in motion. This flickering problem will happen with a normal cursor only intermittently (usually when the cursor is over a scrollbar), but it always happens when the cursor changes to a crosshairs for screen capture (command-shift-4). As mentioned above, this only happens on the internal LCD, not my external monitor.

A month or so I got an iMac and it's been pretty awesome, despite two dead pixels! Today I wonder if perhaps I'm beyond help, and how in the world this could happen. This story begins with me using my Logitech MX Revolution mouse. It's a nice mouse, I really like it! When I first go the mac I promptly went to Logitech's site and downloaded the official logitech control center and everything worked out fine. Until a day ago, when I read that the logitech drivers are sort of sloppy, and using an utility such as USB overdrive, or steermouse would be better. (I decided to go for steermouse, as it looked to be more recently updated)
I uninstalled the logitech pref pane, and installed steermouse. This is where my troubles began. I couldn't quite seem to get the mouse to work properly, no matter what I tried on the menu. So I decided that, well, I guess this program is crap, and uninstalled it. When I went to reinstall the logitech pref pane, things started getting weird......................

My mac mouse is not smooth, especially at low speed. I've tried playing around with the mouse settings but doesn't seem to fix this. OS I'm using is 10.5.8.
I tried using the mac mouse on my windows laptop & it works fine. I also face this jerkiness problem when I plug in other brand mouse on my mac book. Have tried both the USB ports on my mac book.

I Got Windows 7 on my Boot Camp And i installed on it libusb. After i installed it it killed all my keyboard and mouse devices and now i can't connect anything and to move back to Mac OSX, I tried to connect many other keyboard and mouses and nothing worked.

I have a 27 inch IMAC and having a problem with the Magic Mouse. Sometimes it has a mind of its own and starts scrolling without any finger motion from me. The navigation feature (forward and back) doesn't work worth a darn. I usually have to do the two finger swipe left and right several times and sometimes up to five for any response on the screen.

My work computer id acting up. I am running Mac OS X, using a standard, single-button mouse. The problem is, it doesn't want to simply click once and double clicks at random times. I'm not sure when it will happen next, but it's getting annoying. Also, it seems the computer is having trouble highlighting text. When I scroll over text to highlight, it will not stay highlighted. This makes quick copying and pasting impossible.
Keep in mind, this is a work computer and I would not be able to directly manipulate files. Also, our "IT" person usually guesses until she gets it right.
Note: I know that there are probably threads related to this topic, but I did not find any in my searches. I guess the forums match the machines when it comes to not finding what you need.

I just swiped a Logitech MX 620. Although the basic mouse functions work, I can't get "Logitech Control Center" to find my mouse, so I can configure the buttons. Anyone help?
