Logitech v400 news (get in here Cori)

why dont you just remove the icon from the tray and leave it opened...you wont know its opened

 

ok i fixed the problem. I uninstalled Setpoint and it works fine now.

 

I got an exchange and the new mouse's back button works great! When I was using this mouse on my other PC which doesn't have setpoint installed, the middle click scroll was smoother than setpoint's middle click scroll so I'm thinking about just uninstalling Setpoint since I don't plan to give the extra buttons special uses besides forward and back.

Sorry I just realized I had the middle click on 'universal scroll' and when i changed it to 'auto scroll' it became the smooth scrolling I was referring to. So I guess there is no point in having SetPoint installed unless you want to map various functions to the forward/back buttons?

Oh cool I set the middle click to ctrl+f so it refreshes the page in Firefox. That'll be handy, guess I'll keep setpoint installed.

 

Lol, I hate deleting stuff, so I put my top key to delete (keystroke assignment) and bottom key to enter.

Easy as that

 

Clever

 

Lol, Thanks

 

Has anyone in the UK bought this one and confirmed that the tracking is fixed?

 

No fair... all you guys have it but me.

Jealousy is creeping its way into my heart.

 

um,that should work
oh well
then i couldnt use the left/right scroll if i m on a computer w/ out setpoint

 

freaken mouse keeps going into sleep mode so quickly. kind of a pain in the ass when playing games.

 

How quick is it going into sleep mode on you?

 

Well im at work right now but it probably took around 10 seconds for it to go into sleep mode

 

Well im all the games I play like FPS and such I dont think
I ever leave the mouse without moveing it for 10 seconds.

 

Ever a sniper in BF2?

 

I had 10 seconds sleep mode problem too, got fixed by installed new Setpoint 2.6 and new driver 2.6. Now with setpoint running, everything is working great. left right tilt, back forward in firefox, have not tested in IE(it should be OK). sleep awaken very quickly.

 

I will make note of that. I get my Grey one tomorrow from Circuit city and am gonna return the ugly orange one I got from amazon.

 

Oh god thank you stars you saved my life. All is well now. Mouse wakes up in no time and back and forward buttons work in firefox.

 

I have the latest setpoint but I didnt know the mouse has drivers...does it? If so how can I get them link me please .

Thanks

 

No problem, glad you got the problem solved. it might not because the older setpoint or driver as I tested last night on my desktop with older setpoint, it worked fine too. I am confused.

 

v400 users need to check this out ASAP!

Yes, it does. the driver is included in setpoint,after you install setpoint the driver will be updated too. you can check the version of driver by go into device manager then the property of logitech mouse.

 

TSR - That's an awesome post, Thanks alot

 

Well I got my Storm grey V400 from Circuit city today and the orange one is going back. Here is a picture on both boxes and I am glad to announce that on the Storm grey package there is a different sticker you can see that silver sticker on the front. Its hard to read but it says "Logitech All-Terrain LASER Optimise-Tuned-Optimzado" so I know for sure the grey one is from the second batch where the orange one is probably not. Did anyone of you have the Tuned sticker on your packages? It also says on the left "New All -terrain laser Advanced dual laser technology Tracks on more surfaces" That was also different than the last package.

 

I didn't have the sticker but I doubt mine is from the first batch. They seem like a brand new product here, not even on the shelves yet at all stores. I had to get mine from the back room. Mine said 2005 on the back of the package, what about yours? And how much did it cost?

 

My orange one said 2005 on the back also. All the 2005 date means that's when they received the copyright to the design not when that particular mouse was manufactured. I paid 42$ USD for this new Grey one. There are a lot of little things on this grey box that are designed differently than that orange box which leads me to believe it was one of the older bad batches. Besides the glaring fact that the bright silver sticker on the front states that the Dual Laser has been Redefined and fixed. Guess I will be testing it when my laptop comes in. Its very reassuring to have my Silver Sticker stating its been fixed in three languages! =)

 

HMM! That's certainly interestesting. I think I'll get the storm grey one now, as soon as it comes to stores (and if the price is right).

 

You can order it from Circuit City online USA $42.49. Web only special get it while it lasts man! If you buy it in the stores you will have to pay the full price almost guaranteed and taxes that's like 55$.

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Logi...35099/catOid/-13017/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

subtotal: $42.49
shipping: $0.00
vendor direct delivery: $0.00
total sales tax: $3.13
total current purchase: $45.62

 

Oh I saw, but I know that online shopping sites are a lot more competitive with electronics and already the orange one was being sold at $39.99. So I'll just wait a little bit longer. It's hard but I can do it. Plus maybe Logitech will bust out with another one of their random rebates.

 

This sucks, now I don't want my orange one. But I also don't want to pay $60+ CAD for a gray one.

 

what are the dimensions of this mouse? I cant find any info on the size of this mouse.

 

I posted a photo of it sitting on a jewel case. Maybe in the other thread.

 

ohh that looks sexy!!, hope when i get mine in a few days that it will have the optimised engine too. (getting orange) Will let you know what New Zealand is getting furnished with....

wow, this thread is growing fast! checked my email and had to go through 3 pages b4 i got to the last post, Well done guys.



insane

 

Deaddy....I'm in Canada too. Where did you find your Storm Grey one??

 

I don't have the storm grey one, that's the orange one. Now I'm worried that it's not performing as well as the grey one since they have totally different packaging apparently. I'm awaiting more info from Johnny9ball on his.

 

Oh whoops. I thought it was you. I wonder when the grey ones will come to Canada.....

 

I don't know, but I bet they'll cost way more than Best Buy's current $39.99 sale.

So now I don't know if I should return this one or not.

 

Yeah Johnny is taking too long with his review of *clears throat and starts the drum roll*...

"THE STORM"

Ooooo! Ahhhh!

 

Well I dun have my laptop yet (W3J sometime second week of may). I was planning on opening all my packages for my laptop when I get it and make it like christmas in May. I ordered a bunch of stuff Mouse, Laptop cooler, Mouse pad, Sumdex sleeve. All in preperation for the W3J my first laptop ever. I sent the Orange one back to Amazon should get refunded in a week. I suppose I could break upen this beautiful package and try it on my desktop. Humm.....

 

You know you want to.....

 

No no Hooly, he knows that he has to.

 

Thank You!

 

That's some awkward position for the back and forward buttons!!

 

On a decent surface this mouse works great and the sleep function is never an issue for me so I don't believe these orange ones are the old batch. It's strange that the gray ones have different packaging though, maybe they're a third version. I really wish I knew if gray was better, if so I would return the orange one and wait. It would be nice to have the option of using it on more types of surfaces in case I ever needed to.

 

It's a little awkward reaching the forward button, and I wish they were two individual buttons instead of one piece of plastic that I guess rocks back and forth although you don't feel it rocking.

 

There is no apparent reason for they grey one to perform better then the orange one...or is there ?

In Canada...in both BestBuy and FutureShop I didnt find the grey one - only the orange one.

 

WEll got some news from New Zealand, The Orange ones which were meant to ship in two days are now not avalible anymore! The grey ones will nome in on the 15th of MAy but from all the speculation in this forum, it might just be because of some issues with the first orange batch....

This is in Sweden.

I ordered mine late last friday night, being easter and all I knew it would take about a week to get me my mouse. Just got home with a grey one. Worked superb straight out of the box, with the two back and forward buttons working flawlessly in all apps. The wheel tilt doesn't work though. Not that I'd ever use it since it just feel awkward.

Tracking is perfect, took away my mousepad immediately. And it doesn't have any sleep problem.

Overall, very happy with my new toy. This is how a mouse is supposed to be.

 

Question: Did the packaging look like Johnny9ball's? And did you test it on white/light and dark surfaces?

 

Yea it has that sticker on it, saying all terrain. I've tested it on both light and dark surfaces now and it still works. Also tested it on shiny metallic surface, the sort you may find in a kitchen, also works. I'm very pleased with the ability to track.

 

About the light/dark, I use mine fine on a dark blue surface.
