Erratic mouse

[summer ingot]

You win. This is the weirdest issue I've seen

[knotty cedar]

damn thats not a good award 😭

[dark scaffold]

yes this takes the cake for the weirdest issue

do you have another non Logitech mouse

[summer ingot]

What mouse is it

[knotty cedar]

its a......

its an M510

[knotty cedar]

i can look

nah i cant find one

[dark scaffold]

oh are you flicking the mouse often

[knotty cedar]

nah not rlly

[dark scaffold]

it just doesn’t have a great sensor

[knotty cedar]

i just got this other one

[dark scaffold]

for gaming

what’s the other one

[knotty cedar]

so its def not a hardware issue

like brand brand new

[dark scaffold]

you just got the m510?

[knotty cedar]

ye

[dark scaffold]

tried cleaning out the sensor?

[knotty cedar]

nah but ill try

ok imma see if it changed

sometimes it takes a while to kick in so gimme a bit

maybe like 1 game of ow or apex

[knotty cedar]

nah still happens

[dark scaffold]

this is definitely the weirdest issue I’ve seen

[knotty cedar]

oh something i prob shoulda said is my pc is an alienware aurora uhh r15 i think??? idk all the r series have windows on em but mine doesnt, otherwise it looks the same

oh yeah it says in settings its an r15

processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700F 2.10 GHz
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
ram: 16.0 GB
gpu: RTX 4060 Ti

lmk if you need any other specs

its consistent too like the same spots

[knotty cedar]

i should also mention it happens when steams downloading games but ONLY steam (if i remember correctly and im not stupid)

[little fiber]

Not a weird issue

@knotty cedar I'm suspecting it's actually a mouse pad issue

[knotty cedar]

possibly

it is a mousepad with a charger and rgb

let me try on my desk

nope same areas

but i did find another one

it could be a connection issue but im not sure why these areas

lemme make a drawing

[little fiber]

So mousepad is not an issue?

Have you checked if it's a driver issue

[knotty cedar]

yeah i updated drivers

the gpu the mouse and windows

oh i just remembered bios

lemme update that

[dark scaffold]

im absolutely stumped

ngl ask logitech support, they can send you another receiver

maybe its that

[knotty cedar]

Possibly

But I mean 2 receivers in a row not working is unlikely to me

[dark scaffold]

unlikely but never zero

[knotty cedar]

Bruh this bios update is taking forever

[knotty cedar]

Is it normal for a bios update to take forever while the screen goes black?

[dark scaffold]

is there no indication that its updating

[knotty cedar]

Theres just a small blinking white light on the back

[dark scaffold]

also did you use flashback or the updater from the bios

yea its updating

[knotty cedar]

Oh ok

Idk I just downloaded sumthin from alienwares website

It said bios

[dark scaffold]

dude if its not the right bios then it will brick your motherboard

[knotty cedar]

It said it was for the model

Like the exact numbers

[dark scaffold]

alr

should be fine

then

[knotty cedar]

The lights still blinking too

Would it stop if it briked

Bricked

[dark scaffold]

it will stop when done

[knotty cedar]

It still isn't done, should I be worried?

[dark scaffold]

just chill

some motherboards take forever

[knotty cedar]

Im just worried it bricked

The light is flashing

I may have accidentally pressed some keys, would that do anything?

[dark scaffold]

no

input should be disabled

[knotty cedar]

Is there any way to cancel it without causing potential damage?

[knotty cedar]

Jesus christ when is it gonna end

[knotty cedar]

Oh god did I brick my motherboard it's still going

How do I know if it takes a long time normally

[knotty cedar]

Scroll up for specs

@dark scaffold the light is off and my pc turned off AUTOMATICALLY

[knotty cedar]

got it fixed

[dark scaffold]

uhhh

that was unusually long

[dark scaffold]

that’s when it does finish

why did it take that long

[knotty cedar]

It was shorter

Maybe like 30 mins to an hour

[dark scaffold]

oh alr

[knotty cedar]

also moyuse is fixe

thwe mouse is fixed

it was cuz it was plugged into the front not the back

[dark scaffold]

what

why does that

I’m not even going to try to question it

[knotty cedar]

no fucking clue

but it worked
