Quick tip for Logitech MX1000 owners...

My 4-5 week old MX1000 had started playing up recently. I was all ready to take it back (once I feel less full of flu) this week and then I had a look underneath....

Covering the MX Laser logo around the optical eye is a tiny circular piece of clear plastic. Obviously this was placed there for shipping, however.. It does seriously affect the tracking of the mouse after regular use because it starts to shift and work loose.

So peel away the little piece of CLEAR plastic (not the MX Laser logo itself!) and tracking will work as it should :)

Heres the base of mine with the plastic removed.. see the little piece of plastic covering just to the side of it? That's the part I peeled off ;)

    Cheers shorty! I just looked at mine and peeled it off. I had no idea that was there, and never would have looked if you hadn't showed me that :)

    I've seen quite a few threads recently with people saying the tracking has gone wierd on their MX1000 mice.. and people are returning them...

    Same here...almost impossible to see before I started to scratch it. Only visual clue was some tiny air bubbles. Anyway, it's gone now. Much better :)

    It also seems a bit easier to move on my func pad now. I guess the clear plastic was a bit raised, so it dragged on the pad.

    Great tip Shorty! :thumbsup:
