I wouldn't bother.I've spent so much on mice in the last two years that I've come to the conclusion buy cheap and then it's not such a bind to go buy another.ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ Â£30 is a lot of money particularly if you have to replace it again within a short space of time.

Well I am calling it a day in regard to getting a replacement looks like it was my fault with the cable being kinked in a few places.

Going to buy a Microsoft cheap opitcal one or the Logitech one Zing is on about and carry on trying to fix the G5 in my spare time...

Thanks iffy

, on another note Logitech replied to my email and wish for me to try some driver systems they have linked me too, and should it fail they want all the information which is under the mouse to continue into sorting this out.

Right I've tried the stuff Logitech Tech Support asked in the E-mail, as in testing it on various systems, with and without drivers, checking cable etc to no avail.

I have now sent them the reply e-mail with information they wanted to ID the mouse and date of purchase, so crossed fingers for a replacement eh?

Well a replacement is on it's way already

I apologize for the inconvenience being caused to you. I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the G5 mouse. You have mentioned that even though the right click of the mouse is not working.

I am glad to inform you that I am shipping a Logitech G5 Laser Mouse to replace your existing defective mouse, free of cost.

Please proceed as following with the exchange of your mouse.

Cut off the USB plug of your mouse. Put the USB connector in an envelop and send it to the following address:

The Logitech mx1000 is the best for that price, I actually own one, its very responsive, fast, everything.

If you want I can make a little video of it for you, so you can actually see what its like.

I got mine from PCworld, I reserved it online for store pickup which saved me like 15 pounds when I got it.

The g5 can handle twice the laser resoution of the mx1000 I did consider the MX1000 but the G5 is a pure gaming mouse from Logitech.

I can set on the mouse from 400dpi to 800dpi to a max of 2000dpi.

This coupled with advanced software and little pack of weights in a aluminum case where you can control the weight of the mouse, and how it adapts to games, makes it the only mouse for me.

And with CS like Logitechs around it made a good choice.

Well today it has arrived a brand new Logitech g5 by courier.

Brilliant very happy now

Great news Saxo! If only all business's were as efficient as Logitech.

AndrewJ · 10-05-2006, 23:41

Well as I have said in my reply mail, I will not be buying any other products for my computers other than Logitechs the g5 is one of their top products so I do expect the to be quick in replacing a faulty one.

But their service was swift and polite.

I am off in morning to sort out my new keyboard...guess which maker

The letters are all wearing off the keys of my logitech keyboard (OEM cordless), though my Medion has a 3 year warranty, I doubt they'd cover it... worth a try though, as it started with a few, and now it's getting silly - the shortest time a keyboard has lasted (still on the original set of batteries!), and the first black keyboard I've had.

Will be cosmetic so I doubt it will be, but worth a try as you say.

A few of my letters are shinier than others notably part of the space bar!

AndrewJ · 11-05-2006, 00:50

I always wear out my space bar, I need a titanium keyboard!

just trying a 'tevion' wireless mouse, the laser one on sale in Aldi, just now, and it is brilliant, such a light touch - no pun intended
