Hi.

Got a new Dell Dimension 4600 and upgraded to Dell's optical mouse, Model# M-UVDEL1.

Bad mistake!!!

(Invoice) D1161 KIT, MOUSE, UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS, 2BTN, WHEEL, OPTICAL, PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD
(Dell website) DELL Optical USB 2-Button Wheel Mouse for Dell Systems
Manufacturer Part# U0636 , Dell Part# 310-4073, Model # M-UVDEL1
Dell Optical USB Mouse [add $10 or $1/month1]

This darn optical USB mouse uses the WinXP generic mouse driver and the mouse arrow seems to drift and move erractically. Logitech used to make the mice for Dell but it appears that Dell got greedy and cheap and went to Primax Elec. LTD for their mice now. Unforturately, NO mouse drivers are available.

Logitech mouse drivers will NOT work with above model as I've tried many different Logitech USB optical mouse drivers, all recent, and none works!!!

I found some Older Dell Logitech mice available on eBay. It appears that the Logitech Optical mouse drivers should work as Dell does NOT provide any mouse drivers from what I read in these forums.

Has anyone experienced any problems with their Dell Optical USB mouse, M-UVDEL1?

I gave up on it, shelved it (wasted the $10 upgrade fee!!!!) and used my older Logitech ball wheel mouse. People should stick with the basic Dell 2-button Scroll Mouse when ordering any new Dell computers. Buy the mouse at a store!

NEVER will I buy a mouse upgrade from Dell ever again!!!!

Any comments are appreciated!

Hope DELL support is reading this!!! GET RID OF THE NEW USB OPTICAL MOUSE AND BRING BACK THE LOGITECH VERSION INCLUDING LOGITECH MOUSE DRIVERS!!!!

Thank you!
