Need Help With Logitech M305 wireless mouse
Just bought this thing. I really would like to get it to work on my
laptop. The latter has XP SP3 installed. I plugged the little USB receiver into a USB slot and the cursor will not move (does move with my mouse pad though). The same thing happens with my desktop, also with XP SP3. Hence I figure the mouse is not recognized. Is there something I need to do to install this mouse? Yeh Paul - it's me again! Big Fred. |

When you plug in the USB receiver, do you hear the dah-ding sound indicating the detection of a new USB device? Did you ever put batteries into the wireless mouse? Is there a reset button on the botton of the mouse? |

Takes one battery which is in place. Is there a reset button on the botton of the mouse? No reset button but there is a power on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse for that model... When the switch is put on, the mouse shows a red light on its bottom. There is no cursor response to mouse movements though. Nor to the right and left mouse buttons.

Note that it says: Move the power switch on the bottom of the mouse to ON position so the power indicator turns green." Green, not red. Plus the *battery* indicator LED is on top, not the bottom. The light on the bottom is the mouse sensor, not a battery indicator. Reread their article (and the KB article to which it links). |

In most Logitech items a red light means a low battery and green means a good one. Most optical and other mice that I have used have showed red when in operation. Not green. In any case, the Logitech is still not working. BTW, I have to wonder how one uses the L utility when I have no mouse with which to go through the utility's windows and selections. BF |

Again, that's the sensor LED, not the battery indicator LED. |
