Help with MX5000/MX1000 combo

Post by Demoraliser »

Hi all,

i was given this keyboard and mouse combo a few days ago. Its the bluetooth version. Problem is that the mouse pointer behaves erratically (basic use and gaming). It lags, stops working entirely, and just wont play nice. The previous owner told me that k/board kept dropping the connection, but i have not experienced this yet.

i am using the latest set point sofware 3.0 (me thinks), and the widcomm driver i am using came with the setpoint package (5.1.2700).

is there a fix for this for this combo? Anyone here have the same set? Some folks on the interweb suggest using a usb extension for the dongle so that the k/board,mouse and dongle are less than 60cm apart. I have done this and still nothing.

I cant take them back to incredible corruption as the guy i got them from lost the receipts.

I really dont want to throw this out with the trash...

@Dragoneyes, this is a bit of topic, but if you EVER want to get rid of that set, please contact me. I have a 1month old MX3100 set, but my pc was stolen, with the receiver. Stupid burglar didnt take the keyboard and mouse with, only the receiver. So it is really a waste. I can use the keyboard, but not the mouse, because of no charger :cry: ATM, its pretty useless.
