![]() Naturally it doesn't work when it's me that want to scroll something. It means that it doesn't matter which mouse I connect to my PC (tried cable and radio, Logitech and not) and to which port (PS/2 or USB), it simply keep scrolling randomly in a persistent way, even without touching the mouse at all. I have a weird problem with my scroll wheel: it's "possessed". FYI, this is a Belkin KVM and is now obsolete thanks to Logitech and evolving technology. One would think that the KVM switch would do nothing more than pass mouse pin assignments through the device without interpretation. Another example of unpredictable hardware interaction. Taken out of the loop, the flakey scroll wheel problems have stopped. After much reading and a DOH! or two, I've reached the conclusion that my KVM switch is the source of the problem. Too bad, it was quite a run and I've been as faithful a customer as there could be. I've very disappointed and I guess I'll be looking at a Kensington or MS alternative. Used to be you had to pay around $100 for a cordless desktop set. I guess Logitech has rendered itself useless in the process of outsourcing and trying to be all things to all people. You've got to be kidding, so I'm the only one of millions to have this issue? Like yourself, looked to no avail on Logitech's support pages. SetPoint software does nothing to fix it, and no option to 'use MS Compatible Scroll Only' in my WinXP Pro. Surely Logitech had fixed the issue by now. Totally funky.įast forward to 2007, I just bought a Cordless Desktop EX110 thinking I would try again. Funny thing is, it jumped to the previous page then, immediately back to the current page, reloading both in the process. Triggered the 'back' function in web pages sporadically (actually, quite predictably) when scrolled up and down. A few years ago, I bought a 'Cordless Duo' to upgrade to an optical mouse. I've got countless cordless mice and keyboard/mice combos (back room stuff) as I've upgraded many times. I've been a loyal Logitech customer since the early 90's, maybe longer. If not, I suppose many users will find it in the note I've typed here. Of course, something they could do right now (no software needed) would be to make sure their support search engine provides an easy way to find the solution. My suggestion to the Logitech support folks is that they should enable this option by default, and it might be a good idea to move the above option to the Buttons panel into the Scroller area, not under Button Assignments. Ah ha! Enabling that option appears to have fixed the problem. However, in the control panel, if you open the Buttons panel, then under Button Assignments select to modify the middle button, that's where the "Use MS Compatible Scroll Only" option hides out. Someone suggested that I should check the middle button options in the mouse control panel - checking that it does not take an action. Update Note: Good news, I think this problem has been solved. Logitech support needs to get their act together and publish a solution. Also, I know from personal experience that this problem has existed for several years. Yet, Googling the web in general, you'll find a number of users describing the problem. Googling the web site again specifically for the MS string above, I find no mention of it. You must return to the control panel and turn the "Use MS Compatible Scroll Only" off, then save, then turn it on again. It appears the solution below did not have a permanent effect. Today, on rebooting the system, the problem returned. ![]() This article examines possible solutions, and will be updated as new solutions are found. ![]() In my prior article, I described a serious problem with the scroll wheel on various Logitech mice (causes odd problems on web browsers). ![]() || Index || Prior Article || Next Article || 34 Comments || Send feedback Comments on: Logitech Wireless Mouse Scroll Wheel Solution?
