Hello,
I got an A4-Tech X7 gaming mouse (XL-750BK). When I first got it, I was using an old PS/2 mouse and forgot that I had USB mice disabled in the BIOS. I plugged in the USB mouse and installed the new mouse's software off its disc. It actually worked despite the BIOS setting.
Then I ran into big problems. I was playing with the settings, and increased the USB polling/report rate from 125Hz (default) to 500Hz and then 1000Hz. At 500Hz it was nice and smooth, but when I put it on 1000Hz it spazzed out and started moving erratically, 5 pixels at a time (total loss of precision). The left and right clicks also just stopped functioning. After restarting and still having the problem, I plugged in the PS/2 mouse again and put the setting down to 125Hz again. It was still broken. I restarted, unplugging the PS/2. Still messed up. I then unplugged the new mouse and plugged it in a new USB port and tada! The mouse calmed down again but it did not move very fast even when on 3600dpi.
At this point I remembered the BIOS setting and enabled USB mice. After this I could put the mouse on 1000Hz with no problem, but still have this problem that the mouse is not moving at its full speed.
Current settings:
USB mouse enabled in BIOS
USB keybaord disabled in BIOS (didn't have any effect)
USB polling rate is set to 500Hz
Windows mouse pointer speed (sensitivity) is set to 6 (a.k.a. default setting)
Windows enhanced precision is disabled.
Running Windows 7 x64
Windows device manager reports that the mouse is "HID-compliant mouse"
I did a test to determine the actual dpi of my mouse at its various settings, the results are below:
I've been just using the mouse like this for about a month, on 3600dpi. But it really annoys me, I want to be able to get all my DPIs!!
Please, any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Let me know if you need additional information.
