Thanks for the replies Happy . So it's a general Logitech problem without any known fix? The upstairs one works perfectly Thinking: . I will try that firmware update though, see if that does anything.

iirc razer users also had that bug problem and its not a logitech bug,its a general quake 3/e+ bug.

@KM: I can confirm that it mostly happens to me also when there is some big lag on server.

Well the best mouse on the market for gaming is Logitechs MX518.

I also get that lag that it wont shoot sometimes. It has nothing to do with the mouse, its something with Q3 and Logitech... Anyhow my mouse even keeps on fiering sometimes. I read that i was cus i used 1000hz but when i changed to 500 it dident go away.

then u propably tested all mices....

from mine experience its look like that

510 > 518
for me mouse behavior in 510 is beter than in 518

btw when we got the event with players tower mine mouse were shoting automaticly very often (every second mouse1 usage), im run in the same moment 10 copies of q3 and got around 15~20fps

I have 518 and i never have prob with autoshot or other shitz. Mouse is run on last version setpoint with 500 hz usb patch.
I know first version g5 has prob with autofire or hold mouse1 button. On logitech site is patch for g5 updated firmware to 1.1 but it didnt fix all probs. Second version g5 has fixed prob with autofire. Oke here some1 asks about "how check what version i has"
U can check g5 version look on papier box:
First version: http://www.ko.excessiveplus.net/flexone/g5rev1.jpg
Sercond version:
http://www.ko.excessiveplus.net/flexone/g5rev2.jpg
Sercond version has on center is yellow accent and yellow line.

About 518 and 510 behavior:
Everything is personal opinion. I have/had both mouse. 518 has better precision, but 510 has better behavior on pitch/yaw 0.0011 (standart is 0.022). I play long on mx510 with 0.0011 pitch/yaw, when i change mouset to 518 it was total crap, aim feeling was total different, not precisive Sad. Now i play with standart pitch/yaw value and i feel mouse is faster (less smoth) now i feel it work better than old 510.

Mx 518 has prob with mouse2 cuz in ko we killed mouse2 button ;] Personaly i killed other part in my mouse: scroll (i have binded weapon on it) After 2 visit in service it still doesnt work. But after 518 premiere i heard about broken button in mx 500 510.

ztrobe update your firmware, its easy t do for the copperhead. I had this prob, but it went away when i updated with my copperhead, before i broke it.

I never had probs with destroying buttons on mouse.I did feel something on mouse 1 buttong a long time ago,it became little loose,if u know what I mean.Then I adapted and changed the way I press that button,in other words,I started pressing it very gently and it went away.Now the button has the feeling it had the first day I brought it out of the store.

Same goes for my keyboard.When I bought the logitech keybaord which has laptop style keys,I had also problems when I was practicing strafe jumps on trickjump servers,cause laptop keyboards are VERY sensitive to the way u press buttons on them.If u behave like on a regular keboard,u will soon trash ur brand new laptop keyboard ,] I also adapted and started pressing buttons very gently and the keys returned to their normal feeling.

I also stay away from trickjump servers ,]
