• Microsoft Sidewinder mouse macros

  I have a Sidewinder mouse, and sometimes, mid-game, a macro will be saved and somehow assigned to my right mouse button. I can say that I'm not hitting the button Macro record once (not to mention twice, then it will stop recording), and I'm CERTAINLY not enter the properties of the mouse and assign this macro to the button on the right. Can someone tell me how it goes, because it gets REALLY annoying and sometimes very frustrating difficulty? I think it's the Sidewinder X 6, it is wired with the adjustable weight and LED. Thanks for any help.

  Hi sfreemanoh,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

  You have a recordable keyboard macros as well?

  Sometimes, it may happen that during the game, you could hit a key on the keyboard that allows macros to the registration option and you think it's the mouse.

  You can check in Control Panel for the keyboard settings, and I will also recommend to re - check the properties of the mouse in the control panel if there are all the macros settings assigned to your right mouse button.

  You can also try to update the software of the driver for the keyboard and mouse. You can use the following link for the same thing:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=MK&type=mouse&name=m_sidewinderx8&OS=WVista_32&lang=en

  Also, I would like to know what game play you and it happens to the same particular phase of the game or any time during the game.

  Can you also inform me if this happens all in playing a game in particular or with any game?

  Thank you & best regards

• Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse (not X 3, X 5 or X 8) change the function of the Quick Launch button?

  Dear Microsoft, I have a mouse Microsoft's Sidewinder, this one to be exact: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/sidewinder-mouse

  I was wondering if there is absolutely anyway to change the function of the quick launch on the mouse button, it opens the folder of the game, but it is rather useless since the Games folder is in itself pointless. Tell me there must be something? The Intellipoint software allows me to change the functions of button on it EXCEPT only one darn button.

  If it's any help this quick launch button is ALSO present on all other iterations of the Sidewinder gaming mouse.

  Any information or advice welcome.

• Problems Microsoft Sidewinder X 8

  I bought a microsoft sidewinder X 8 Christmas mouse, but now it is starting to have problems.

  • It will not load
  • "Back" button no longer works
  • Buttons on the fly DPI switch randomly sometimes

  Right now I have a regular in my sidewinder X 8 AA battery because the normal battery is dead.  The problem is not the battery, it is the cord or rope to the mouse port.  I know because the normal AA battery won't take a charge and when I take it out, the cord itself will not feed the mouse.

• Microsoft Sidewinder X 8 slow motion

  I am a player who owns a Microsoft Sidewinder X 8 gaming mouse and have been a problem.

  It seems that whenever I have hold down a key on my keyboard (without wireless/bluetooth), it seems to move more slowly when im not, I move faster than is necessary or useful for the games. This is especially a problem when stabilize on CoD MW2 sniper rifles.

  It of my keyboard/bluetooth that could have an impact on the transmission of signals, or is my fairly new mouse broken

  Thanks in advance

  You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shouldbring at least for the keyboard and the mouse, and the bluetooth device and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. You can also try the Driver Verifier Manager to see if you can identify the driver or the responsible device (assuming that it is the cause):http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

  If this does not work, try swapping on the mouse to see if you have the same problem with one another that you know works. Do the same for the keyboard. Try one that did not work on another computer, and then see if this computer now feels the problem.  We are trying to determine if the problem is the keyboard, the mouse or the computer.  These tests help us to determine which.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Microsoft Sidewinder x 4 key changes randomly commands

  Hello
  I have a Microsoft Sidewinder x 4 keyboard I've used for about 2 months. Recently, I found that it will start to change 'modes' for no apparent reason during the games I play. It happened during web browsing in Google Chrome, in Skyrim, Guild Wars 2 and typing in Microsoft Word. Instead of typing the letter I'm pressing, it will open a shortcut (as "d" will minimize a window, 'r' shoots to the top of the dialog box run, etc.).
  I checked to make sure no keys were blocked (CTRL, ALT, Windows key) and is not the issue. I also checked to make sure that the drivers for the keyboard are updated. They are.
  This is a persistent problem and the only way I can solve it to type normally when this happens is to restart the entire computer. I used a different keyboard with this computer and have never had this problem. I think the keyboard is maybe defective. Apart from that, I love this keyboard.
  I am running Windows 7 64-bit, i5 2500 k CPU, MoBo Extreme3 of ASRock Gen3, Corsair Force GT 120 GB SSD, Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1600 8 GB, EVGA GTX 560ti 448 classified Core Ultra

  I just discovered that if you go to the center of the mouse and windows of your game key Microsoft keyboard switch (or active) of the Bank active, then off and the problem should be solved. This happened to me probably 8 times now, I've just now figured this out on my own after countless internet searches.

• Series P30 Microsoft bluetooth mouse & satellite

  I bought a microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth with a USB BlueTooth adapter.
  I put the adapter and the bluetooth connection works well. I was able to communicate with my cell phone.
  But not my new mouse. On another computer, it works fine. On mine I can' install the driver. When I search on bluetooth devices, the mouse, it is recognized, but when I open again the bluetooth devices, there is no show.
  The driver for the TouchPad is crushed with PS2 IntelliMouse... and my mouse does not work.

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it's not easy to say why it doesn t work.
  Is - what the other computer has a touch pad or an extra mouse driver?
  There may be some conflicts with the touchpad driver. You can try to remove the touchpad (Alps Touch pad Driver) driver, and then test the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse. Maybe after this procedure the mouse will work correctly.

  Good bye
