Why does the mouse package say "Install software first" when there is none with the mouse &amp; none mentioned in the Product Description? Please respond to Molly K Barry, not my husband Bob McClung....I am signed in at this time!

Download it from Microsoft. You can google "Microsoft optical notebook optical mouse 3000" and get a link right to the driver. Actually, it does not /need/ the software, since both Windows and Mac will initially see it as a basic USB mouse. However, the software will allow you to set the scroll speed and options for the additional button on the side (which usually activates a nifty magnifier).

Didnt recieve any software with the mouse and could not locate any. Now, having said that, its fairly easy to set the function for each of the buttons. Simply press the key on the keyboard you want a button to use while holding down the button on the mouse.....wait a minute...I think its the other way round...hold down the keyboard then select the mouse button...hmmm.....cant remember now for sure...&lt;laugh&gt; Doesnt matter, just try either way and whichever one will work.

There is no software that comes with the mouse. You can however get third party applications like xmouse to configure them.

There is no installation. Windows 7 should automatically recognize the mouse as a generic 'HID-compliant Mouse' and use the built-in Windows mouse driver. Make sure the battery is in correctly and that the small usb radio is plugged in to a working usb port on your computer. If it doesn't work, try plugging it into a different usb port. Also, sometimes you need to press the DPI button on the mouse to activate it. Good luck!

If you haven't downloaded the firmware tool I would get that and get the latest firmware installed. I haven't had good luck with the steel series engine software....but you can run the mouse without that. My mouse misbehaves if I use the steelseries engine software.....may be a bug in the program or my system.

Thank you for the feedback. Guess I will have to try it in person at a retail store first. Why can't we have both "crunchy" and "smooth"? :)Another question, why do we have to wait so long for this to be released? Releasing a product after Christmas seems like a huge miss in opportunity.My Revolution MX works great, except the rechargeable built in battery is getting a little old. If I don't put it in cradle every night I might run out of juice the next day.I really like the Microsoft Natural 6000 mouse. After using that for a few weeks all other mice feel very uncomfortable. I use it on my 2nd computer. Maybe a Natural 6000 mouse with BlueTrack and "crunchy" scrolling... that would be my dream mouse... maybe in 2009 Thank you for the feedback.

They actually didn't package the mouse and keyboard in my purchase. I had to buy from another store. However I did buy a wireless keyboard and mouse and in my opinion it's far better than having wires hanging near your feet.

Check the bottom of the mouse. The information should be there. If not, check any papers that came with the product.

Logitech maintains a product support webpage where the software can be re-downloaded (though a newer version may be posted than what came on your CD). Search for V270 from Logitech support and look for "Downloads" on the product support page. However, most of the mouse functionality should work without the logitech software---this is how I use the mouse.

Hey, I'm not sure if you all have tried this, but this program from Logitech for Macs might help in setting up your mouse. If it does, let me know, I'm looking into buying this or another logitech mouse. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/494/3129&cl;=us,en

No OSX software for the mouse. Still able use as plug and play. I would assume that the special hat button will not work without software.

I don't have it in front of me now, but have you tried pushing that oval button on the end of the mouse and then flip the TOP cover off. The oval button at the end, not the push buttons where your finger tips press. After pressing the oval button I believe you flip the mouse by using your finger nail and lifting at the crevice where it says "Microsoft". And/or the cover slides. That is assuming there is no lift tab underneath the mouse. Hope this helps you get to the battery. Godspeed.

I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and I just bought this mouse. The driver that came with it on the CD wouldn't install due to "compatability issues" so I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded the new Windows 7 driver (32-bit and 64-bit available). Just make sure you choose the right mouse model when you install the driver. Works perfectly and I can now enjoy the full functionality of this mouse (horizontal scrolling, programmable buttons, etc.) The mouse works fine without a driver, but you need to install it for these extra features.

There were/are no drivers/software that comes with the mouse. BUT what I do is use x-mouse button control utility (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm). This allows you to change ANY button assignment plus much more. Like MS Intellimouse but way better. HTH...

I'm no computer expert. ... however I believe the mouse is recognized by your pc and software either from the mouse internally or from microsoft intalls automatically before you can use it..
