unlike the legendary WoW mouse that I just bought and had to return because it some how not compatible with win 8.1, so I guess my question is this?

Did you download the driver from steelseries? If you did then I would recommend going back to windows 7 since windows 8 blows anyway

My first question would be, what game were you using the mouse on? I have found that some games just can't see all the buttons on the mouse, even with the software installed.

I have a similar Logitech trackball (# 810-000767) and it works just fine on my Win 8.1 laptop. Also, Microsoft released a patch a few weeks ago that suppose to make a regular mouse and keyboard work better on Win 8. My Logitech worked just fine before and after the patch.

I am currently using a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 and it is working just fine. This mouse is several years old and may not say it is for a Win 8 OS - but it is certainly compatible with the new OS.

I am not a computer expert. All I know is that this is the old fashioned mouse that you just stick in and it works. It is a simple pin that just sticks into the back of the computer where the mouse icon is. (If you don't have any mouse icon on the back of the computer with a round hole then most likely it is not compatible. For such an old computer I can't say for sure. For sure, there is no Software required to install the mouse. For just a few bucks it may be worth a try. We have Dell computers 10 years old that the mouse works just fine with.

I know this is an old question, BUT IT is more then worth the price. I love this mouse I got it atleast 4 years ago and nothing has happened to it. And I use the crap out of it playing WoW.

It works 100% with all versions of the Windows OS from XP - Windows 8.1. You will need an internet connection to download the driver for the Mouse, but since you are reading this, that probably means you have internet. :)

I have one that is several years old and it worked great with windows xp but it will not work with windows 8.1. There are many discussions without remedies for this on the web. Maybe the newer ones are compatible but I would make sure before I bought.

This mouse works with Windows 8 without any problems. (at least I have not experienced any)

After doing some research the revised answer is "No:" the mouse is incompatible. Sorry.

I'm using this mouse with Windows 8 and it works perfectly. If you don't install the gaming software, it acts like a normal 3 button mouse with adjustable DPI. With the Logitech G software, you get full programmability. The software is nice if you use other logitech products since you can program everything in one place.

I have not tried this mouse with 8.1, but being a new style and using the latest tech, I would expect it to work.

I am not familiar with your system so, I an't give a definite answer. My system uses windows OS and the mouse works fine.

Logitech's driver and software are not very good. The biggest disappointment I had was realizing that the scroll wheel didn't work at all in World of Warcraft. I checked out some forums and a lot of people recommended a program called SteerMouse ($20) (http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/). This got the mouse working just fine and offered a lot of additional functionality Logitech's software did not.

Make sure you have installed the drivers. So go to your mouse in your add hardware,or add mouse and reinstall it. Mine works fine on windows 8.1 or win. 8. I hope this will help. Have a great day!

I haven't tried with windows 8. I had on windows 7 and it worked ok for a month, but I could use only at about 5 feet from the computer. After a couple of months stopped working. I don't reccomend this mouse

I personally tested this mouse on Windows XP 32 bit, Windows Vista 32 bit, & Windows 7 64 bit, & it worked great. The Microsoft website lists the Windows 8 Compatible emblem, so I'm going out on a limb & mention that I'm confident that this mouse will work fine on Windows 8 64 bit. Hope this helps.....
