does the button on the side with the red dot do anything on this one? g500 it was just a dead button

I programmed mine to Alt + Tab. It allows me to switch between programs very easily. I feel severely restricted without it on other computers, now.

By default it's just a generic programmable button. I set it to act as the mouse wheel click, because I don't like clicking the mouse wheel. You can set it to practically anything you want through the software though, like keystrokes or macros. Hope that helps!

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

Sorry, anything that I might say about this would be strictly a guess. I can tell you that my Logitech G11 keyboard does not recognize the additional gaming keys, but does function completely normally as a standard keyboard. There is definitely processing of the digital signals passing through the switch.

Holding down the "1" button and "Enter" button at the same time for at least 10 seconds while pointing at the unit worked for me today, 2 Mar 09 on my DMR-EH75V

You should read up on this forum thread. It's been an issue with this keyboard. I'm not sure how it has such a high customer rating here...http://forums.logitech.com/t5/G-Series-Gaming-Keyboards/G710-broken-keys-from-normal-use-plastic-tops-Where-to-get/td-p/1075449

Follow what Mark and Betty said. When you first switch the mouse on, you should see the red light inside the sensor. If you don't see that, it is not going to work and should be returned.

unplug it. plug it back in. tern it off and back on via the little on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse. if none of that works get a refund.

I only used my KVM with my MX518, and that worked fine. I can't say I ever used a KVM with my G500 though(left click switch went bad in under 1 year btw, I just bought the G700). I suspect the KVM switch would not effect the standard functionality. Any lack of operation would probably be more specific to the KVM's quality or compatibility with the mouse due to voltage or signal loss through the KVM.

This is probably because the shotty wiring in the mouse and it not fully connecting. You can file a complaint and easily get another one. Unfortunately no matter what you do you won't be getting your money back though.

Make sure the switch on the bottom of the mouse is clicked over to "On" and if that doesn't work, then try restarting your computer. And if that still doesn't remedy the problem, contact the seller directly for more information! :)

Are the left DPI LEDs working? If yes, it might be a software issue.If they are not working, check if the batteries charger is actually working, if it is, then check if you properly installed the battery inside the mouse, if it's ok, then try the other battery " you get 2 batteries ".Hope it helps :)

I am sorry that mouse you got is not working properly. I think that you got a defective unit. I have mine for couple of years now and it works fine.

Mine is not backlit and the F5 key didn't "turn on" the backlit keyboard option (as another poster mentioned). My F5 key turned the mouse off and on.

sorry, I don't have a red dot on my 2300 S. Not familiar enough with red dots to make a recommendation

I've had two Logitech M500s. The second one purchased in 2014 is definitely easier to use the middle mouse button. On the first mouse, it was too easy to accidentally press the Left and Right Scroll buttons on the mouse wheel when trying to use the middle mouse button. The second mouse is significantly better.

Hey James, I think I would drop the battery people an email on that one, as I'm not familiar with the G500SHere is their email addy: sales@batterydepot.com Be well.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe there is a tiny switch on the bottom of the mouse which turns it on and off. It's not the best quality mouse, but if it's not working, that might very well be the issue.
