Live 9 Mouse Acting Erratic - Way too Fast

Post by ajstrax » Fri May 23, 2014 7:03 pm

Hi,

I'm using a Microsoft Sculpt wireless keyboard with mouse. The mouse works perfectly fine on all of my software except for Live 9 (latest build). When I click and move the mouse up or down, the volume, wave file, tempo, whatever I'm working on jumps from 0 to 100 immediately. It's almost impossible to use the mouse to slide any sliders (volume, tempo, etc) up or down.

Anyone experience this? Any suggestions to resolve this?

Thank you.

I don't know how behave those dual microsoft keyboard + mouse but be sure having the latest drivers for it

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/downloads

If they are already up to date, open Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard center and look how you can set up the mouse.

desactivate any smoothing parameters for it.

If you still have problems, try to plug a non wireless mouse [assuming your old one, usb or even the native ps2 port].
There is no problem for having 2 mouses as long as you don't use both at the same time.
It is a workaround but can tell you directly if the new wireless mouse is the culprit or not

good luck

Thank you both for your replies and help. It turns out the screen size adjustment fixed the problem. I have a 29 inch monitor and it was set to slightly larger than recommended. That was the cause.

Thank you both and have a nice weekend...
