Solved Having a REALLY weird mouse issue.

[Siveria]

Alright this is going to be a bit long, so bear with me here.

I have a logitech g-300 gaming mouse, it was working fine, now? right clicking barely works, and left click tends to double click no matter what I do, left click and dragging is pretty much impossible, but this is not the main issue I am having.

The issue is, even after uninstalling the logitech drivers, uninstalling the logitech gaming software, manually deleting anything logitech related in the registry or otherwise, I am unable to get any mouse to work on my system except for the logitech g-300. The pc reconizes the mouse, it says its installed correctly but the mouse just does not work, can't left click, right click, or even move the cursor anywhere, middle mouse is dead too, I have tried 3 diffrent non-logitech mice and none of them seem to work, I even tried them on my other pc and the mice do work themselves so its not a problem with the mouse hardware itself.

Any idea what the hell I can do to fix this? I do have a spare logitech mouse but its busted, but the pc does reconize that one and I can move the cursor thou its left click is busted beyond repair its OLLLD lol.

This is really getting to me because there is no reason why I can't get any other mouse to work except a logitech one. Any help would be apprecated. Also please don't tell me to reformat my pc, there has to be another solution.

sounds like your usb stack is messed up now since you uninstalled more than your mouse probably, there is a way to reset it but I'm unsure what it is but i would look that up. also can you post a screenshot of your device manager usb devices if possible please. the G300 have the same issues on another pc?

Since you were deleting keys in the registry before these new problems started you should now do a Windows System File scan.

Start > type(search): cmd > right click on cmd.exe > choose: "Run as Administrator" >
in the DOS box that opens type : sfc /scannow > then press ENTER

Actually the issue was there before I started removing any logitech entries in registry, but going to do the scan anyway because ya never know.

I had a weird issue like you .Found the issue after I took apart the mouse and removed a ball of fuzz from the inside , works 100 % now . Something to check ..

I wonder what the outcome was ..

Sometimes you have to wait awhile, if they come back at all. Some OP's, if they find their answer somewhere else, don't bother to post back.

Still got the issue, fix for now is just to use a logitech mouse, but whenever I use any non-logitech mouse, windows installs it fine, however, even after a shut down/restart and it being installed fine according to device manager, the mouse cursor refuses to move. Anything else I have that uses USB works fine, it just seems to be an issue with the mouse only. Its kinda blwing my mind how windows reconizes all these mice i've tried, says they are installed fine, but movign said mouse doesn't move the cursor, nor do any of the buttons work, i've tried like 4 mice of all diffrent brands that I know work fine (I tested them on my other pc). I've never come across an issue like this.

What could be causing it to install the mouse fine (using generic windows driver every mouse is set to use fine pretty much), windows reconizes its there, but the cursor doesn't move nor do any of the buttons on it work at all. If windows says its there and reconizes it, i'd figure it should work, but nope.

The first thing that comes to mind is a conflict caused by the logitech driver(s).
Have you tried uninstalling everything related to the gaming mouse drivers (uninstall the mouse, software, files & folders)?

Some procedures you can try:

Remove old mouse drivers:
Remove Old Drivers After Upgrading to New Hardware

Go deep to remove old USB devices:

Yeah I've tried this, even manually, it didn't seem to fix it. I tried the command to show hidden devices, and there was a logitech mouse on there, as well as about 7 or 8 ones that aren't currently in use, all hid-compliant mice. http://gyazo.com/b7c965e58b19b9d4125df8795af56889 I already removed the logitech one, should I remove these others?

 

[TVeblen]

Yes. You should uninstall all the grayed ones.
If it were me I would uninstall everything, even the current non-grey one, restart, and let Windows install a fresh new generic mouse driver. Then test on that for a day or two. (Wired mouse only!)

I personally always use wired devices, I don't see much point to wireless mice/kb's when its not like your going to be moving them really.

When you sit 10 feet away from you computer and monitor a blutoot (wireless) mouse and keyboard comes in very handy.

It's also nice to keep you computer desk free of wires running all over.

Now if only I could also figure out how every Mouse I hook up seems to randomly double click on a single click.

 

[TVeblen]

You've checked your mouse settings?

Yeah that was the first thing I did, the settings haven't changed at all from what I can tell. Its just a minor annoyence really. Though sometimes it does annoying things like causes me to open 2 browsers insted of one when I click firefox in the quick launch, or randomly stop dragging when I click and drag.

 

[TVeblen]

What happens if you move the slider way down to it's slowest setting? Anything?

If not you could have a loose connection inside the mouse.

 

[Siveria]

I'll try that.

I have the Logitech EX-100 wireless mouse and keyboard. The mouse developed the double click syndrome about a month ago. I researched it and other than running another program to take the switch bounce out, there's not a lot that will fix it. The switch is worn out. I did take mine apart and cleaned the inside as already suggested but the switch bounce returned after a short time. I think it was just moving the printed circuit board a little that helped. Although the cleaning did improve the wheel motion. There's a setting for click speed on the upper end but none on the low end or minimum that would cure the switch bounce. MS should have added that but it's really the mouse OEM's fault. Switch bounce circuitry would have added 10 cents to the cost of the mouse.

I have noticed that if I press the button rather than tap it, it works fine.
