When I plug it in to my computer (windows 7) it sees it as a Logitech mouse. I am unable to program any of the button functionality. Can you assist?

I haven't had this issue myself, but you could try going to device manager, selecting Mice and other pointing devices, right-mouse click the "Logitech" mouse, then select uninstall. Next unplug your mouse, wait a few seconds, and plug your mouse back in. It may take a short while for the driver to reinstall. If that doesn't work you could try updating the drivers or manually selecting which driver to install.

Mine doesn't work at all, whether I install the receiver it before or after I turn on my computer. This mouse is just a fancy-looking paperweight.

I did this successfully until I developed a different computer problem because of an unrelated device driver which needs to be updated by its manufacturer. The keyboard and mouse I use are wireless Logitech devices, Model S520. I currently have these directly connected to my custom-built Win 7 Professional PC.

Dear Kornelia, the mouse came with an USB Bluetooth adapter. Connect it to your computer, after recognition, look down your mouse and will find the ON/OFF switch. Turn it ON. If you can't see the red light then charge the mouse'a battery with the USB cable, the connector is on the front side of the mouse. If all above was meet, then your computer should've recognize your new mouse. Enjoy it as me.

That's a Windows thing as far as I know. I don't have this mouse anymore, but if I recall correctly, the scroll wheel of that mouse isn't a button.

Just download and install the software from Logitech website. Use it to change the programming of the buttons...

I'd get a different product. There's a chance that it'll work fine for you, but if it doesn't work, it's a real pain to fix. I ended up having to reinstall the entire operating system in order to get the thing up and running. May as well spring for a newer model. The actual problem was most likely a conflict with leftover bits of Logitech drivers and software, but I was never able to track them all down and eliminate them.

I had the same issue, no matter what I tried, the mouse would never work. Just go to walmart and get a $20 Logitech mouse, its a trusted brand, comes with a battery already inside, and works right out of the package. Save yourself the hassle.

It is not compatible with mine. Im on windows 7. There are many buttons that won't work.

This mouse makes use of the standard USB mouse drivers included in Windows and requires no additional driver. It should be recognized as soon as you plug it in. If it isn't, you almost certainly have a defective device. Did the laser light ever come on? If not, you DEFINITELY have a bad mouse...

How long have you had the mouse? If you recently purchased it -- especially if from Amazon -- I would return it and ask for a replacement. It sounds like you're either having a problem with the actual mouse or with the driver.Just out of curiosity, what Windows operating system are you using it with?

Yes. It's a USB mouse so works like any USB device. There should be NO drivers/software to install. Plug in the USB receiver (stores in the bottom of the mouse when not in use) and press the Connect button(s). To get full functionality you may want to install the IntelliPoint software from Microsoft. NOTE: There is a button in the slot where the USB receiver is stored. This button MAY GET 'stuck'. If the mouse fails to respond when the USB receiver is plugged into the computer, and the battery is known good, ensure this button is fully released.GL,Td

I went online to Logitech and it has simple directions to help activate it. I printed it out.

I'd hope most likely you could get a replacement sent or if not maybe find a spare usb piece. if not that's just plain stupid because that piece is smaller than the tip of my finger. if I didn't use the mouse all the time and keep it plugged in my laptop, that usb would probably been long gone. Oh J Berry, this is how you program the mouse for any computer. First, open the door next to laser lens on bottom, insert 2 AA battery, and return and close lid over battery compartment. Okay! Okay, joking aside, insert USB plug into any USB port you have free(note: easiest to reach, seems to work great). Alright, turn mouse over and find switch which has 3 options; off, on with battery save(no lights), and ON( screw energy saver, this mouse is bomb), turn to either Ons. Bam mouse now works with you pc

I had the same problem win Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. Mine was I had another driver for a Logitech device that was in conflict. I am guessing you have a USB driver conflict with another device. Check your Device manager for other installed mice.

According to Logitech's own website, they completely support your mouse on the Windows 8 platform (source: http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32425#Mice) You would program your mouse's macro buttons using the 'Mouse and Keyboard Settings' program that comes with the Logitech drivers package. The program may also be called and titled, 'Logitech SetPoint'.

After finding the .ini file you mentioned and playing with it for about an hour, I had no success in finding a way to map regular keyboard keys to any of the side buttons. I asked Sharkk support if there was a way and they said no. I'm hoping that maybe in a driver update later that they might since their other mice (I also have their wired gaming mouse) all have the capability. Since I really wanted that functionality on my own mouse, I found a workaround that makes me happy: A Windows program called X-Mouse Button Control by highrez . co . uk. It allows you to program simulated key presses on Mouse Buttons 4 and 5. I have Simulated Key set to {F12} Option 3 During (press on down, release on up). Works like a charm.
