Hi, I just bought one of the Tevion mice as was impressed until I noticed a problem with the left mouse button.
when you click and drag, say you're moving a file, if you stop moving the mouse for a couple of seconds, whilst still pressing the left mouse button, it releases the file as if you'd released the button even though you hadn't.

Anyone else seen this problem??

Re: New Mouse Advice

hi

only just now you mention it - you are correct, it acts like it interprets the 'hover' over the destination as a release of the button.

- could be very annoying, if I come across any further info I will post back - good find

Oh well, at least it's not just me.
I bought a Microsoft mouse for work but it suffered inteference from a colleauges cheap wireless keyboard and mouse then I got an Aldi one that was brilliant but after 2 months the button started to stick so it went back I then paid about £3 for a OEM noname wireless mouse which worked fine but had a ball and kept sticking and the latest one is the Aldi one........ why can't I get a decent cordless mouse ???? Rant over

I can't be ar$ed to play, just now, but I know what you mean, I got the Aldi one, due to the microsoft wireless mouse I got for Xmas interfering with the same model mrs gaz got, which she now uses at work

this current tevion isn't going to match the logitech type devices, but despite the glitches, is still very light & responsive, you can work round a left button drag bug, shirly

Re: New Mouse Advice

I assume the mouse came with a drivers disk? Most Mice you can just plug in and go as they will happily use the Windows built in USB HID drivers.

Re: New Mouse Advice

Have you pointed the found new hardware wizard specifically to a folder on the driver CD?
