Control Panel > Mouse > Hardware > Properties > Advanced Settings


Adjust your Sample Rate to 200 reports / second
 
I go to that, and when I get to "Properties", I can't find "Advanced Settings" ???

It depends on your mouse make/drivers ... I get 9 tabs of options (not 1 properties).
 
I currently have 3 mice attached to my rig 😀

I doubt I can adjust settings w/o fubarring the whole system..

/me did turn sample rate for wireless mouse to minimum though...

I believe it has to be a PS/2 Mouse.
nope running a ps/2 mouse here 🙂

* Edit * - I should have been in bed hrs ago (aka mis-read one of the mouse -> hardware steps 😛 )
 
ya, I think this oprion is only available for PS/2 mice. I checked both my computers (one has PS/2, one has USB). The option is on the PS/2 mouse and not in the USB mouse options.

Btw, its the same mouse. (Logitech Optical Mouse)
 
mines a microsoft optical on usb and i get it.

edit.. my mistake.. i guess i plug it in USB, but on the driver properties it says its PS/2.. now im a bit confused.
 
Yeah, seems to be a PS/2-only option. The touchpad on my laptop is connected via a PS/2 interface, and it does have the sampling rate option. I remember setting it to 200 samples/sec when I first got the laptop itself.
On the other hand, the external mouse that I sometimes plug-in via USB (Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical) doesn't have the option.
 
if you have a mx500 its under the motion tab at the bottom.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. 🙁
