Adding a New Mouse or Trackball
To add a new mouse or trackball

1.	Turn your computer off if you are installing a PS/2 mouse.

WARNING: Do not plug or unplug a mouse to the PS/2 6-pin mouse port while the computer is on because the port could be damaged.

2.	Connect the mouse to the computer's PS/2-type 6-pin mouse port, its 9-pin serial port, or a USB port. If you must use a 25-pin serial port, you must obtain the appropriate adapter.

To use an adapter, plug the mouse or trackball cable into the adapter, then plug the adapter into the computer. Note that for PS/2 mouse port installation for some mice, you will need to remove the 9-pin serial port adapter before connecting the mouse cable to the computer.

3.	Turn your computer on.

Cursor Acceleration

Acceleration determines the speed and distance the pointer moves on the computer monitor in relation to how quickly you move the mouse. Adjusting the acceleration allows you to add precision and control to the movements of the pointer. Acceleration choices are off, low, medium, and high. Higher acceleration causes the pointer to travel further when you move the mouse more quickly.

Maximizing Mouse Responsiveness in Games
Maximizing Mouse Responsiveness for Game Play

Use the Report Rate Slider adjustment, on the Motion tab, to increase the frequency that the cursor position is updated to the computer. Essentially, this will increase the resolution of your pointing device, making it more responsive.

This feature is supplied to improve cursor tracking and accuracy in computer games. Please be aware that inappropriate use of this feature can slow-down game play. Increasing the report rate settings uses additional CPU time. A maximum setting of the slider can use up to 10% of total CPU clock cycles in servicing interrupts.

For best results, use the minimum setting of the slider that gives you optimum results. Start by making a small increase in the report rate (from 80 to 100 for example) and test the results in your game.

Note: This feature is available for PS/2 port connections only, and does not work with cordless mice.

Auto-Detection

MouseWare allows more than one mouse (or other pointing device) to be attached to the computer at a time. MouseWare detects all attached mice and lists them in a drop-down list on the Devices tab. To switch between attached mice, select the mouse to be used from the drop-down list. Each time you switch to a different mouse, MouseWare automatically recalls the settings for the selected mouse. Similarly, every time you connect a new mouse, MouseWare recalls the settings for the mouse and updates the Mouse Properties.

Note: When connecting a new mouse or other Logitech pointing device, you will need to add it using the Add Device button on the Devices tab of the Mouse properties. The procedure is different for Windows 95 and Windows 98 than it is for Windows NT 4.0 or above.  See Adding a New Mouse or Trackball for more information.

Add Device is not necessary with Windows 2000.

Pointer Schemes

A pointer scheme is a set of indicators used as the main selection/positioning mechanism within Windows. Each pointer within the scheme is associated with a specific Windows task. As you work in Windows, the pointer changes shape to reflect the current function. You can change the appearance of the pointer by choosing a different scheme from the Pointers tab of the Mouse Properties. For example, the scheme for left-handed users consists of pointers that point to the right rather than to the left.

About Scrolling Using the Wheel Mouse

You can scroll a precise or measured distance by using the wheel mouse. Scrolling is a method of seeing parts of a document that lie outside the document window.

To scroll, place the cursor in an application window that supports scrolling, then

To scroll up, move the mouse wheel forward.

To scroll down, move the mouse wheel back.

MouseWare software supports scrolling in both the vertical and horizontal directions. If the window you are in has a horizontal scrollbar only (e.g. no vertical scrollbar), then moving the wheel up will cause the window to scroll to the left, and moving the wheel down will cause the window to scroll to the right.

If the window you are in has both horizontal and vertical scrollbars, use the mouse wheel to scroll vertically as usual. To scroll in the horizontal direction, depress the <CTRL><SHIFT> key combination while moving the mouse wheel.

Note: You can set up the mouse wheel to specify the amount of scrolling in relation to the movement of the mouse wheel. To specify the amount of scrolling, use the Buttons tab of the Mouse Properties.
