Is this mouse plug and play or does it require software to use?

Totally..just stick that little usb thingy in and it will find it. This is used on a mac ..but I have one for my windows 7 machine as well.

Take the dongle out of the battery port of the mouse and plug it into USB. It should auto-connect after that.

I have Windows 7 on my desktop. When I put in the USB device it searched Windows Update for a driver and installed it. The mouse seems to work fine although I haven't been able to find out how to adjust the two side buttons.

There is no software that comes with the mouse. You can however get third party applications like xmouse to configure them.

Its a plug and play. You shouldn't need any drivers. Windows XP and Windows 7 detects it, installs the drivers its self. I would imagine Windows 8 would be the same. Linux OS computers should detect the mouse as well. I cant speak for MAC computer, I've never used one. Hope this helps. If you already purchased it and its not detecting - try pluging it into a different USB port.

I got the wireless mouse. A USB device inserts into the USB port on your computer. No software download needed. It worked out of the box.

Download it from Microsoft. You can google "Microsoft optical notebook optical mouse 3000" and get a link right to the driver. Actually, it does not /need/ the software, since both Windows and Mac will initially see it as a basic USB mouse. However, the software will allow you to set the scroll speed and options for the additional button on the side (which usually activates a nifty magnifier).

There is no installation. Windows 7 should automatically recognize the mouse as a generic 'HID-compliant Mouse' and use the built-in Windows mouse driver. Make sure the battery is in correctly and that the small usb radio is plugged in to a working usb port on your computer. If it doesn't work, try plugging it into a different usb port. Also, sometimes you need to press the DPI button on the mouse to activate it. Good luck!

Driver that installed automatically works just fine for me. I just go into the game setup for what ever game Im playing, and give each mouse button a function.

It is a plug and play logitech, it should auto download the drivers when connected to the internet.

It's plug and play, but the software is needed if you want to configure the thumb button.

It's bluetooth so pick a bluetooth mouse. If you have built-in bluetooth, you don't need any USB ports.

There should be a usb plug-in attachment in the mouse itself. Disengage it and inset it into a usb receptacle in the computer. This should take care of your problem.

It is a usb plug and play. the one i bought and it was defective. Was sent another and it too was defective. The curser worked fine. It was the buttons that did not function.

Basically this mouse came as plug and play device. There is no software. The wheel, of course is for scrolling, but if it is pressed it will scroll rapidly, with the movement of the mouse, UP or Down. That's all. The design is nice and feels very good to work with a laptop computer. The scroll button basically just scrolls.

No, this mouse uses Bluetooth exclusively. You could buy a separate Bluetooth USB dongle.

I just downloaded the software but didn't install it.Ordered the touchpad,I will be using it for a desktop which I would hope doesn't make a difference. Already have a Logitech wireless mouse which works well with the desktop,didn't have to install anything for that. Thanks for the info Ata.
