My mx610 logitech cordless mouse requires several clicks to get it's attention. It is also unstable.

They use a blutooth usb key but its proprietary...you have to have the one that came with the mouse if I recall correctly.

have you changed mousing surfaces?
sometimes a glossy or irregular mousepad can cause this, as the laser bounces at odd angles back into the mouse.

Also, check under Control Panel > Mouse > and the configuration for the mouse that the drivers give you. there might be a sensitivity slider as well.

Have you removed the ball and cleaned the optical points with a tooth brush? They build up a grey colored fuzz, don't ask me where it comes from but I've got to clean mine almost every month.

push on the little button at the bottom of the mouse and slide the top bottom half of the cover toward you. The mouse require 1-AA.
negative of the battery towards the left click button.

Acting on advice from another FixYa string, we blew out the mouse and dock several times with canned air. It performed slightly better, but then as we continued to use the mouse it suddenly cleared and is working almost 100% now.

From reading earlier strings, I'm wondering why Logitech (in its product material received on purchase) doesn't recommend this as periodic maintenance for the mouse?

Is this invariant of what surface you have it on, or whether you clean the lens with a q-tip?

Yes open the mouse and clean the left click that should help if not is time to buy new mouse

Hi, I have had the same problem with a Logitech Cordless Desktop setup. The mouse and keyboard had been used in an office environment for about two years, then the mouse would double click unexpectedly, would not hold items when trying to drag them and the right click would sometimes fail to work ...then sometimes it would work perfectly. I tried all the other suggested cures such as cleaning out the inside of the mouse, new batteries and reinstalling the driver which did not prove to be effective. A good clean improved things for a couple of days but the symptoms returned. At this point, I dismantled the mouse and resoldered some suspicious looking joints on the circuit board inside, especially those attaching the microswitches for the mouse buttons. Since then, none of the problems have recurred. I presume that repeated pressure on the switches over time had cracked the solder joints which caused the mouse to behave erratically. You could try this, but dont get the joints too hot or you will damage the switches or other sensitive components. Simon.

This wireless mouse should have a transmitter that is plugged into the computer. Try replugging that in, and if there is a connect button on it, try pressing that as well.

Same Problem, use canned air to clean it. bash the button a few times. seems to help for a while. Dont bash it to hard or you'll break it. love the mouse but this is a crappy issue within 3 months of use. in a clean environment.
