 I read somewhere that you can overclock the USB ports, so that the mouse can get more data coming thru, and thus get better tracking with mouse.  Has anyone done this, or know where to find out how to do it?

 I have a Logitech MX518 and run it on standard mouse program that comes with Windows 2000.  I have to get XP to run the Logitech software. On the Logitech mouse software I used before with MX500, you could max out the psp connection to 200 bits or whatever, a second.   thx

Nope, cant do that.

I dont know where you read that, but it surely isnt credible.  More data coming through a USB cable would not even remotely help any mouse, no matter what.

You could always get yourself a real mouse, like a Razer Diamondback or something, if you need that much sensitivity.  There surely isnt anything you can do to the USB port that will help you.

Just try upping the sensitivity in windows, like cruze5 suggested.  Better than using a half-assed utility that isnt needed.

 The Razerback and 518 have the same internal Agilent optical sensor, so I think it is "real" enuf.   Had a Diamondback before this, no better.  They are the same mouse with different bodies, for the most part.

 I do not want more sensitivity, but precision.  Turning the sensitivity up just makes the mouse go faster, not with more control.     thanks anyhow
