I have been using an older type of mouse for years (one with a ball in
it), and got used to it. It finally failed (getting increasing
intermitant faults) so "upgraded" to an optical mouse.
I've adjusted the adjustable settings (in control pannel) as best I
can, but it still seems to respond slowly to a click . . . I often get
the change of image on the button I am clicking, signifying
"mouse-down", but then the button fails to change . . . I need to hold
down the click for a singificant fraction of a second longer for it to
actually change. As I am often working live in real-time (creating
music live), it is a significant problem to be slowed down so much more
than I have grown accustomed to.
Is this due to the nature of optical mouses, or just this particular
(cheap) one? Is there any settings somewhere I can change this, or am I
going to have to go back to a ball-type mouse to get the click-response
times I am used to?
The mouse is a Comat M-5088.
thanks in advance for any comments.
