Arc touch mouse

i started out a console gamer years ago, atari then mega drive and so on and only got into computing about 4 yrs ago. i like being able to lay back on the sofa away from the screen to play.

Yeah!

ok ,im using the arc touch mouse now ansd its a little small but very nice ,one small glitch, i have assigned a hotkey function for when in firefox. i want when i double tap the middle to be able to refresh the page, i know in ff its F5 and ive assigned it but it keeps on going to the default auto scroll when i double click the mouse in firefox. bit annoying.

Congrats for the new game!

thanks.
fixed it i assigned the F5 hotkey to the mouse in the general setting and not the program specific settings and it now refreshes my page without me having to move the mouse ,Yay!

How many assigned buttons you have?

just two for now, it is a touch scroll and for the middle button i think i can add as many hotkeys to it as i want by selecting the program first ,im still experimenting at the moment, as of now it refreshes page in ff and in winamp it pauses/plys the track . still messing about. i dont think there is a limit to how many progs i can asign a hotkey function for the middle button.

little bit annoying despite taking the focus from winamp when in firefox double tapping the middle button doesnt refresh the page it pauses winamp. looks like i gonna heve toforget the hotkeys for progs and just stick with the refresh .

also the mouse wont show as the picture of the mouse in devices and printers, all that shows is the nano transceiver ,which has a keboard icon. as i type it is installing an update that is related to the mouse so we see if it changes.

updates failed so i think its because the driverswere already installed and that s what the updates were about ,according to the info from ms help.

I have never used the hotkey features of the mouse so I am not much help there. As far as the intellipoint software goes windows update has been sort of hit and miss so I just manually download the installer from the website. And lastly you are not alone as far as devices and printers, Mine has always just shown up as the nano transceiver. I also have the Arc keyboard and it does show the correct icon.
