Logitech is related with consistency, sleek design and steadiness of PC peripherals. The G7 Laser Mouse, out in 2005 for mediocre reviews, added a difficult reputation due its failure rate.

About the G7

1. The G7's design shows Logitech had total exactness in mind. G7 is able of reaching 2,000 dpi through a 2.4GHZ wireless bidirectional USB connection. The other exceptional feature of G7 that created it a compelling buy for many consumers was addition of a second lithium-ion battery, which was able of fast charging in two hours. G7 was well-suited with Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista. A software and driver upgrade to Logitech SetPoint 4.80 makes it well-suited with Windows 7.

Connection Issues

2. All wireless products have alternating connection issues, which result in interfering from other wireless products or a low battery. The G7 looks to have connection problems when compared with other products. G7's high sensitivity raises the occurrence of interference from other RF signals emitted from PC power supplies, wireless speakers, monitors, cell phones and garage doors.

If G7 has connection problems, check battery life to make sure its strength. If connections problems keep on make sure USB adapter is attached to similar USB port firstly plugged it into during installation. It is vital to not utilize G7 on a metal surface, as reflective or textured surfaces can cause connection problems with laser mice.

Cursor Issues

3. Cursor movement is very important to a laser mouse's reliability. Sadly G7, as permitting for precision based movement up to 2,000 dpi, suffers from stuttered cursor movement. It is generally result of a low battery, or probably surface material the mouse is located on during movement. Stuttered mouse movement may result of USB receiver/charger's physical placement in wrong place, permitting for increased interference.

SetPoint Interaction

4. Logitech's customization software for its mouse and keyboard products is
known as SetPoint. To utilize all aspects and customizations of G7 mouse, you want to install new version of SetPoint from Logitech's website. Though, there is a known problem with G7 detection and SetPoint. After SetPoint is installed, G7 mouse must be auto detected and placed below "MyMouse" tab. If "MyMouse" tab is not visible, then it means G7 was not detected and you want to completely uninstall SetPoint and reinstall new version.

Double Click Issue

5. The more difficult problems causes’ mouse to double and triple click constantly after a single click. Sadly, there is no approved or reliable fix outside of contacting Logitech for a substitute mouse.
