This is the Microsoft-optimized version. Does it require special drivers to be installed when using the USB adapter? (Sandboxed computer from work)

Just plug in the USB and it works great. Any drivers were automatically installed.

I have used my USB connector with Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows XP and Windows 7. I did not need additional drivers. It took seconds to get it working.

Yes it works for me. Do not use the MS drivers - Win7 installs its own. I use it in Battlefield 3 and other games with no issues.

My machine only has USB 2.0, so I can't say anything about higher versions, sorry...

Thanks..!!Do you mind my asking what drivers do I need? (Haven't done this before ^_^ )

It's USB and there are official drivers for Windows, so yes it works. Ignore the first comment saying it does not work.

It should be fine as long as you use the manufacturer drivers. the edition of Windows XP you're using doesn't really matter beyond the fact that you have service pack 3 which is the best you can have.Not sure what adapter you used before, but it would be strange indeed if it cared about so minor a detail as the edition of windows xp you're using.

When you plug the usb adapter, it will automatically search for the Microsoft Mouse. I have the same issue, just can't view the Microsoft Mouse Suite tools (i.e. how to adjust scrolling speed and other items) but it should still work as it is a mouse and uses the USB port. On a home computer, it will search for the software automatically and install on your machine, it's a nice tool to have, but necessary as OS already incorporates the mouse I/O with it. Good luck, hope you have as much efficiency with it as I do!

Yes, that's what I'm using it on. No issues. I didn't even have to install a driver. Windows recognized it immediately.

Thanks for the info. I have installed the app, but the driver included for the GL10 doesn't install on a Windows 7 machine. Do you have a different experience?

Sounds like you loaded more than just the required drivers. Do you really want or need the optional software?

It absolutely is that's what I'm running and I've not had an issue with it whatsoever. It came with a cd to install drivers but honestly once I plugged it in the plug and play took care of it naturally (though I did still install the cd, better safe than sorry).

I gave this purchase a poor rating because I have not yet found a driver that installs successfully... please let me know if you do...THX... Jay

I didn't need driver's for this item myself as I am using a Linux machine with this item and it worked right out of the box. As far as Windows goes I guess you could check windows update for a driver update for your PCMCIA slot, or the manufacture of your laptop. Other than those two places I am unsure where you might get the driver. Another suggestion would be if you have another computer around you can download the driver from the disc to a thumb drive and load the driver to your laptop that way. I personally have had to do that in the past.

No. Don't waste your time. I'm on W7, the drivers won't install. If you look up the forum, a lot of customers face the same problem.

Yes and yes.Just plug it in a USB port, windows 7 automatically installed the drivers and it works.

No drivers necessary. Just plug it into your USB port and it functions as expected. I formatted mine once by accident, but did not need to install any driver afterwards.

Unfortunately not, I bet you could troll around google and find some drivers but it doesn't come with any and Windows is clueless. As always, the cheapest solutions turns out to be the worst one :)
