Logitech Cordless Mouse Logo
Posted on Apr 05, 2011

My wife's Logitech M305 mouse stopped scrolling. I switched it on to my computer and it worked there for about 10 mins then stopped scrolling as well. Is this something which can be fixed, or is it due for replacement?

I tried everything also. I have a laptop. THIS ACTUALLY WORKED. As a last resort Logitech support suggested unplugging laptop and removing laptop battery for 10 minutes. Put battery back in, plug power back in. Mouse works great. I was very skeptical that this would work. But it did!!!!

SOURCE: M305 Logitech Wireless mouse with nano stopped working on Laptop

This is a difficult one to answer so lets go through it.
You have a M305 thatrefuses to work and your OS says is returning an error.
You've quite rightly checked the Logitech site and found out that it appears to be a common fault as many people are reporting the same issue.
Logitech have not resolved the issue.

All the above are valid reason for retun to the vendor for replacement/refund.

However you WANT to replace a M305 (a model with know issues) with ANOTHER M305 which will have the same issues as Logitech have not resolved the problem.

I will have to think long and hard before giving a definative reply.

Logitech has excellent mice. Thats a nice one to. Go to logitech.com support choose the m305 model. You'll get that right away as its one of there newer models. After support download the setpoint software for windows 7. If that all works fine which it should look around the web for whats called uber software for logitech mice.

SOURCE: dropped wireless mouse and wheel shifted & buttons hard to push

I had a similar problem and was able to fix it. The left mousebutton was clickable, but needed extra force.

After opening the mouse I found that at the side of the mousewheel there was notch pointing upwards, preventing free movement of the left mousebutton. I was able to rotate the ring with the notch back into horizontal position after gently pushing the housing surrounding the mouse wheel wider.

Logitech wireless mouse (m305) isn't working

Does this mouse need to sync with the reciever plugged into the computer?
Somewhere on the mouse and posssibly on the reciever plugged into the USB
port on the computer it should have a connect button. Usually to connect/sync
a mouse or keyboard press the button on the reciever first then press the connect
button on the mouse. Or if th mouse has a button just press the mouse button,
often the mouses lazer will blink until the mouse connects with the reciever then
just stay lit at this point it sould work. Another Question, how are the batteries in
the mouse?

I found my wireless mouse yesterday. A logitech M305. When I plug it into my laptop it either says that it is not recognized by windows, or that the device has malfunctioned.

you might have to uninstall the mouse then restart your computer then reinstall the mouse and its drivers
make sure the battery is good (has full charge)also you might test the usb device for the mouse is inserted correctly into the usb port (if applicable)
click start control panel mouse you should see 4 tabs buttons,pointers,pointer options and hardware under hardware you can troubleshoot also you can select properties under driver you will have options to update driver,rollback driver or uninstall and under hardware you can troubleshoot
also click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to mice and other pointing devices you might see a yellow exclamation mark !or question mark ? or a red x right you will have options to update driver software,disable,uninstall,scan for hardware changes and properties
in xp
hope this helps

Looking for user manual for Logitech K520 keyboard. can't get it to connect

Look for manual for MK520 Keyboard + Mouse set.
This set includes K520 keyboard and M305 mouse.
This keyboard (and M305 mouse) uses Unifying adapter to connect to PC that should be included with your product. You should use Unifying software from Logitech site to connect additional devices to this adapter, so may be your keyboard just out of pairing with your adapter.

Why will wireless mouse M305 work on my old computer but not on newer computer? The batteries are fine but it won't work even though we tried in several usb locations but still nothing.

Maybe it needs to be installed on your new computer?
