How does your MX 500 crash your computer? My MX 700's perfect.

Woah! Those look nice. I just might have to splurge and pick one of those mice up. Price isn't too bad either... considering an Apple mouse is $60!!!

Paul, i tried all that stuff, still have the problems. i might have to wipe my drive...i don't know.

i think i read that there are problems with logitech drivers and Jaguar. they haven't updated their drives for a long time, they really need to

I have one of those MacMice, and I have to say that for me it just doesn't work. The rocking motion never felt good or natural in any way.

I would try getting rid of the Logitech Control Center and try using USB Overdrive to see if that works.

Nope, the Logitech Control Center works fine for me. I used to use USB Overdrive and it worked great too.

I bought one. I like it a lot.

Check with Logitech ( http://www.logitech.com).
I see they have an updated driver supporting 10.1.2 - 10.2.4 (posted 03/14/2003).
Try it again, worth a shot. Or return the mouse under warranty.

For a little enjoyable reading on the person behind MacMice (and MacTable.com, and.....), check out these reader reports at MacInTouch ( http://www.macintouch.com/mactable.html). (MacMice portion is near the bottom, but read it all)

Interesting stuff. :)
