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).

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..

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.

Software is needed on Windows systems. I forgot to install the software before plugging in monitor, and it would not work. It automatically found some sort of driver, but that didn't work, so I had to uninstall that driver and install from the CD, and then it worked well.

OK, it clearly states under the first paragraph of the Product Description section: "Plus a wireless multimedia remote, with a built-in mini-keyboard and mouse, is included, enabling you to browse the web wirelessly from the comfort of your chair or sofa." And, in the "At A Glance" section, the last item reads "Compact handheld wireless multimedia remote with a built-in mini-keyboard and mouse" So. where is my included remote?? Had anyone gotten one?

The mouse takes two regular AA batteries and it seems forever before they have to be replaced. When that happens, on the top of the mouse a small blinking red light will alert you to change the batteries. I don't recall if the mouse came with the batteries but most times the batteries are not included. This product bundle is the best computer purchase that I have ever made. I've had this for years and I've never had a problem. It's a great benefit to the eyes of everybody but especially for the elderly like myself that no longer have the eyesight of a twenty something year old. Buy it!!!

i'm jumping into the conversation here, anybody find a solution for the delay/slow middle mouse button reaction? I need a double-middle click for CAD, this mouse is not cutting it. It is replacing my 4 year old MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - excellent btw, just worn out. Was hoping the 3500 was the same mouse, just with BlueTrack.system is brand new, 8g ram etc, drivers new, so performance of the system shouldn't be a factor...

It has to be with another software, either specific for mouse control, or the application you are using the mouse for (like a game). Until then, think about your life choices and how changing the control scheme for a mouse effect them.

I buy these for point of sale systems at my work. I've only played with them for a few minutes myself but if I recall correctly, the touches are just registered as left mouse clicks. I don't remember installing software (though it may come with drivers and such) and everything worked fine. So you shouldn't run into any issues.

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.

In my opnion, and only mine, I would use the see keyboard and mouse that came with it...When I first got the yellow and black keyboard to halp me see better, I could not get it to work well, I think I had the batteries in the keyboard backward......I hope this helps. If you have a friend, relative or neighbor that has a different mouse and all is wireless, ask if you can try before committing.

If you find out, will you let me know? Since getting my new Dell laptop for Christmas, I've bought three (3) Microsoft mice. Each one failed after a couple of months, and I don't even know how to get Microsoft to honor its warranty. The problem seems to be with the antenna/sending unit - have relaced batteries in the receiver, but there's a tiny light on the antenna that doesn't light up one day, and then you're toast. I love these things when they work - am tearing my hair because the third one died last month. Good luck.

We are working to fix this in some cases. Retailers make the first listings, and sometimes a retailer will mistakenly list the same product again. So there is some duplication. This is annoying and we hope to clean up these listings very soon (it takes time and permission from Amazon). At times, there are listings of the same product, but with options. For example, the Astrojax MX Sport is listed in one listing as "Colors May Vary" so you won't know what color you are getting until you receive your order. The other two listings do not indicate what color you are ordering in the text description, but the photos give you an indication. But this is very vague and needs to be fixed. As i said, we are working to fix these issues. Thanks for asking, and for your patience while we get that taken care of!

I don't understand the question about assigning key functions to the mouse. If you mean keyboard key functions, I don't know as I have no need to do this. If you mean can you assign different functions that the mouse can do, yes. This is done after you have installed the program for the mouse through the device and printers settings. Right click on the mouse icon and then click on the mouse settings. Now you can tell your mouse how to act.

I have only used a mouse. Hopefully you have NOT purchased this game yet. It would not download without the help of the GEEK SQUAD. Even then there are many problems. My advice- look for AIR CONFLICTS-air battles of world war II. It is a non sim game however it has 3 skill levels that you can choose from. have not had any problems. Lots of fun jump right in and fly. If you need more information please feel free to contact me. I'll be watching-just in case.

These are the best mouses ever! I have used them since Win98 also. I am presently using one on a Win 8.1 computer and my husband has one for his Win 8.1 computer. Nothing to install. Just plug it in. But if you want more setting choices you can either use the disc or just find them online. Takes a second. But it will still work fine without even installing anything.

I did receive all those items except for the mini optical mouse. Unless I have it and do not know what it is..that is also possible. Great condition though.
