Mouse Trouble

[Ebola]

Ok I have Logitech 600 wireless mouse that i use to connect to four of my computers, and I can never seem to get the arrow to be in exactly the same spot on four of my screens (accepting quests ect). One of the arrows is always off and it never seems to be the same one.

All my screen resolutions are the same so I cant figure out what is wrong. Any Ideas?

Also is there any program that can center or align all the arrows with one button press? so I dont have to drag all the arrows off screen to allign them?

I hope my questions are clear enough and any help would be appreciated.

Ok I don't know much about this.. But what I can suggest is...

For every computer you got disconnect all the wires and leave one mouse working for that comp. Then move the cursor to the upper left corner. Then unplug that comp and move on to the next comp. When you reach the last one and move it in the upper corner leave the mouse alone and plug the others in.

Might work. I dono how you would do this on start up.. maybe all over again who knows.

Three things I had to do to get this working, and one thing you have to do every time you go accept quests:

1) Make sure all 4 PCs mouse movement speed slider in Windows control panel is set the same AND make sure acceleration is turned OFF.

2) Set your alt PCs are all set to the same resolution and the WoW clients are set to the same resolution as well (can be different from the desktop but must be same setting in WoW options).

3) Not so obvious: make sure your UI Scale option in WoW is set to _exactly_ the same values. Easiest way is to go find the value in your WTF\config.wtf file and edit it there while out of game.

4) Then, once you have the above set up, every time you wake the mice up to accept quests or fly somewhere or whatever, just "zero" the mice by dragging the cursor up to the top left corner.


The above worked like a charm for me, with #3 above being a non-obvious problem I ran into. You _cannot_ adjust it correctly using the in-game slider unless you slide it all the way to the max or min setting.

Move the receivers really close to the mouse. Sync them by moving the cursor into a corner here and there.

Best you are likely to get short of a custom solution.

For #3, open up World of Warcraft\WTF\Config.wtf. Then search for the text string "uiScale" and change them all to the same value. Mine, as an example, are all showing the following line for that variable:

SET uiScale "0.75"

.wtf files are most likely not associated with any application. If you open it with WordPad you will see a nice list of settings, if you use NotePad you will see a clustered jumble of settings. This is due to how they handle cr/lf in the file. Use wordpad for sanity .

Actually, I edit mine with Notepad quite a bit. The only weird things I see are that the line breaks are not present and I get a weird square symbol between each SET statement. Nothing else weird, though.

I think the squares actually represent the line breaks, actually.

...Which is why we use Wordpad :-)

Either way, get the job done.

I prefer Notepad to Wordpad since the latter is such a failure.
