Rage mouse?

[Erdenay]

Fine, guys, give him a break. We only have to wait another week until he starts raging again... And in a month or two, at the latest, we'll see another story of a mouse smashed down with a keyboard and a monitor thrown out of from the 6th floor. Brace yourselves, Cyber's rage is coming.

ok , so there seems to be a universal fucking problem with Setpoint, the software that manages all Logitech products.
It seems that it loves to fucking conflict with the windows 7 x64 inner mouse settings (mouse pointer setting under rules), and keeps fucking resetting my "enhance pointer precision" to ON and whatnot , which fucks up my gaming because it adds acceleration and interpolation to the movement, rather than raw precise movement.

So after looking up for HOURS for solutions, most of which don't work, i finally found a fan-made program that fixes that issues.
I'm sharing it here for documentation because it's easy to miss deep in the internet, in case other people are facing same problems.

Basically, everytime a non-OS program tries to change the "OS" settings, (not the setpoint dpi and custom on-top settings) then it automatically resets it to a value u fix. U put a shortcut to this in startup and voila!
Enjoy

Yea... I don't have that problem in Windows 7 x64 with Setpoint. You sir, just have a run of shit luck.

I should add that today I found out how much mouse pads can really effect your mouse. For years I have used a large razer pad. Sometimes my mouse would skip around like it was today and I always with this mouse had bad z-axes problems. I then saw on teamliquid a thread where someone said that my mouse worked better on white surfaces. So I put a piece of printer paper under the mouse and it instantly worked. I then put it back on the mouse pad and it started working a lot better. I still had some issues with tracking and when picking up the mouse and so I tested again with the paper and had 0 issues. So as a solution I taped the paper over my mouse pad. In addition to lower friction it now tracks perfectly with no z-axes problems! I plan to use this setup for a long time and see how it goes.

Perhaps for laser mice this is actually the best surface. Note though that I have high quality printer paper not the crap that starts to degrade and change color after a few months/year, this may impact how effective this method is.

at least my story is being heard... remember that, you will be telling your gay offspring about it one day.

Least they wont be Mexican.

I have noticed the same Zero. I tried the trick, I tend to swing my mouse a lot, for random things, and always fray up the paper and it annoys me. Also sweat up and dirty the ends of it. Want a nice white pad. The G9X supposedly fixed that problem with its "Darkfield" upgrade. I'm pretty sure this is what your referring to. The laser's inability to track properly on very dark, glossy, or glass surfaces.

Unfortunately the larger problem of them having poor mouse designs has not been fixed...

After years of using different mice I am happy to finally have one that I can use for literally 24 hours at a time without my had hurting!

Also yes tonight i hit the mouse down to hard a broke the paper while raging. However I can just get another piece of paper! That is what I love about this idea so far, I have infinite new mouse pad surfaces!

about the paper thing, the mouse i used to use was laser, and it had problems on any cloth surface. i refuse to use hard surfaces due to the wear on pads and just lack of comfort, so i'm back to my old logitech g3, which works great on cloth despite also being laser.
