AHH! I overclocked my mouse and it doesnt work anymore!

[MrDudeMan]

i tried to overclock my Logitech Cordless Mouseman from 80Hz to 100Hz, and everything was cool until last night. all of a sudden it doesnt work. maybe it drained the batteries...or maybe it broke it....? any ideas??


thanks in advance

try changing the batteries & see if that sorts it!

the hell u o/c ur mouse for?

Actually, I don't think you overclocked it at all. Isn't that just the PS/2 port speed refresh rate. AFAIK, it doesn't do any harm to the mouse (mine's running at 100 from 40! :Q)

 

[MrDudeMan]

for gaming, a higher refresh rate makes it a TON more precise


ill go change the batteries and see if that helps


also, i knew it changes the refresh rate =) but i did read somewhere that it can damage your hardware

any other ideas?

bump it up to 200

 

[MrDudeMan]

what good would that do? i mean isnt that potentially the problem? maybe im misinformed..please explain

Just out of curiosity, how do you overclock your Logitech? I have logitech also and want to know how to do it. This is the first time I hear mouse overclock. Thanks

you go to control panel, mouse, and its in the settings somewhere..advanced then hardware i think


i had to find some crazy patch before i could get it to 200Hz, before it would only go to like 100

like i said, it makes gaming more precise

u needed a patch to get the port to 200? crazy my intellimouse gets to 200hz easy

PS/2Rate, yeh I never heard of it killing a mouse, but I can see it taking up more proc. time. (hehe, put it in realtime refresh) Just get a friggin USB mouse.

err.. what are the benefits of oc-ing a mouse?

woo hoo! Just overclocked my mouse from 60 - 100! I need a fan on this sucker pretty soon

My MS optical has been running fine for 6 months at 200hz
"overclocking" the mouse from windows deafault of 40hz to 200hz helped ALOT with smoothness and gave me quite a bump in Frags per hour
