    I've problem with my VX Revolution. The drag function does not work about 50% of the time. I think it's a connectivity issue :mad:

    I also have the latest SetPoint xD

    Have you tried replacing the battery? Are there other RF devices nearby, ex: microware, Wifi, cordless phones etc that are interfering with the signal of the mouse to the laptop? I have this mouse and have no problem with it.

    Have you noticed your mouse double clicking when you know you only pressed once?

    Does your chain hang low, does it wobble to the floor?

    I have the same problem. The micro-switch underneath the left click is wearing out. Unfortunately, this isn't something you can fix on your own. It also appears to be a known issue with the VX Revolution since I've seen multiple threads on it (of course I see these threads AFTER I buy one :mad: ). I'm not sure if other Logitech mice have the same problem. The only solution is to call up Logitech and get them to replace it. Ugh, it's such a pain. I had my previous wired Logitech mouse for 5 years and my new VX Revolution doesn't even last a year. I'm also not pleased with the accuracy of the mouse. I think I'm going to get this one replaced and if I'm still not happy with it, I'll buy another mouse. I didn't think the inaccuracies of a wireless mouse would affect my everyday computing. I do like the overall shape of the mouse and the lack of a cord (though I should put out I don't like that rough piece of plastic on the end).

    How far away is your receiver from your mouse? And are there any obstructions in the way?

    Lol, it just felt like you guys were bombarding him with questions (nothing wrong with that), and so I just asked a silly question to add into it (lyrics from a song).
