I could probably walk away from Ubuntu for 2 years, then turn it on and it would update everything from the Kernal to the applications to the drivers. (While Linux could do the things I ask, it would be much easier if Microsoft used Package management like Linux distros such as Linux do. Let's see true "Plug 'n Play" or rather "Plug and Forget"? Is this too much to ask? NVidia does the same thing and every month I checked to see if a newer version was out then I used Acrobat's search tool to search for my video card to see if there were any changes (you can actually cause problems with some drivers).

Logitech should download the basic software which links back to Logitech and download ONLY the needed drivers as well as updating ONLY if the drivers for your product change. It's a justifiable complaint, especially if you are just "updating" (Logitech downloads a whole new package based on the new version number, not if your device needs it). I won't give a rating above 4 until they do.

I would give a negative rating (if it were possible) but it is impossible to go lower as one star here.ĭoes Logitech plan to update the size of its Unified Driver package forever? Compare this old mouse (plug-and-play avant la lettre) with todays garbage stuff "Made-in-China for Logitech" to understand what I mean.Ĭonsidering on top of this, the very poor attitudes of what Logitech calls "Support" (in belgium), I think I have seen enough. My very old Microsoft roller mouse was stolen because it was a museum piece, BUT it was STILL working after 20 years of daily use. I never encountered that much "left overs" in my whole life !! There must be between 3000 or 4000 registry entries left behind, which you have to remove one by one. When you uninstall SetPoint, using a good uninstaller program REVO Uninstaller, after performing the buid-in uninstaller of Setpoint, the Revo program will (if you want to) search for "left-overs" in the Windows registry and on also on your harddisk. The worst experience however not when you are using this crap, but it comes later at un-installation time. But who on earth needs THAT MUCH bytes his computer, only for a mouse !? I won't comment on the G5 mouse (I don't like it that much). I bought a 4th Logitech mouse (this time a G5) after two of the 3 previous Logitech mice became too rapidly useless after a short time, (all made in CHINA of course) This software is probably the worst crap I ever have met. Later, after installation and use.the Setpoint software works just fine on my Windows 7, adds some nice options to my MX laser mouse and, wonderfully, doesn't conflict with the G15 software.

Now I'm curious about all this negative hype over the Setpoint software and will install it just to see if you negative reviewers are 100% correct. Being manufactured in China isn't a quality issue, though I would prefer that Logitech make its products in the Western Hemisphere, too. I stand behind the quality and options that Logitech products offer (though some, like the G19, come with a premium price tag). So, those of you who write of Logitech's quality simply have had bad luck or perhaps like to abuse your property a little too much.
I will be upgrading these to the G19 Keyboard, the 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset and the newest gaming mouse. I also have the G15 Gaming Keyboard and 2.1 Logitech speakers.

As far as the SetPoint software is concerned, XP, Vista and Windows 7 never needed it for my mouse to run perfectly. Well, I've had the cordless MX laser mouse for many years with absolutely no problem.
Or Logitech resents my IBM keyboard, and fabricates bogus keystrokes.) (I have two theories: Windows resents the Logitech mouse, and attacks it. I'm running with no Setpoint, which means there is no horizontal scroll, which is why I bought the LX3. True, the pathology could be in some other software that somehow reaches into Setpoint's data. I uninstalled Setpoint V6, and the problem has not recurred in several hours of running. I unplugged the keyboard, which had no effect. One time, the repeating imaginary keystroke was keypad-rightarrow, another time there was no apparent imaginary input. Rebooting made the problem go away for a couple of hours. Skipping details about floundering around, I alt-tabbed my way into an editor (emacs), and discovered the editor was receiving repeated keypad-leftarrow input. Rather than re-install V4 from th CD that came with the mouse, I downloaded 6.32. Setpoint Version 4.x forgot about the horizontal scroll from my LX3 mouse.
