M90 Software Bugs and Functionality thread

[Guillermo79]

I suppose this would have been a better thread for my question;

Can you bind one of the M90 thumb keys to function identically with the M60 "Sniper Key" as in DPI-changing key where on press it lowers dpi and on release it sets it to default and you can choose the dpi values as u like? Yay or Nay?

Yes you can assign as many buttons as you want to have the sniper function. However, there can only be 1 Sniper DPI setting.

Tater72: Keypress is currently not available in the software. It has been reported and being reviewed. Thank you for your feedback.

 

Guillermo79: Default button 14 is set up the same as the sniper button on the M90.

[Guillermo79]

Bought the mouse today and 14 indeed is the sniper key as a default although 15 works better as sniper key for me so I changed it. Works like a charm.

 

Anyway, I read that atm you can't bind a keypress (btw someone should get fired for this) but I can't seem to bind normal mouse button presses either;

I bind middlebutton to 9 and in-game (Arma2) pressing middlebutton I can freelook while i hold the button down but it doesn't work if i hold 9 down.

Same thing with 7/8 and 12/13. Holding 7 or 8 down does a certain thing but 12 nor 13 doesn't work even though I set them to be identical from the software. In windows 12 and 13 work as Forward and Backward keys still but not in-game where their purpose is to hold down them and do stuff.

What is up with that?

Edit2: Got this one to work too by enabling Hardware Playback.

 

And yeah, LEDs don't work. No matter which Profile I have on, just the lowest led is shining, always.

Edit. It seems that to make the leds work u have to tick the Hardware Playback. (I suppose a manual for this mouse would not hurt)

One more thing, it takes a bit too much force to push the buttons. My thumb is sore already :(

Hello all

 

(sry for my english i am french)

 

I report some troubles i have with my new M90 that is not or low mentioned upper:

 

 

1- i have a laggy cursor and i think its because of the "lift height" setting because my cursor is ok with a White surface and stuck or laggy with a black surface and the feeling change when i lift up or down but always laggy with a black carpet. before i installed any drivers (except maybe the auto drivers of win7 64bits) my cursor was totally ok and reactive. finally i need to put max 1800 DPI and very high lift height to get something right or buying a white carpet ^^

 

2- profile LED have work for 5 min now they are all turned off (my profile show 2 LED turned on)

 

but i have to say that this mouse is a must in game i play with it in swtor and its a true advantage

 

best regards everybody,

Guillermo79:

 

Everything you are doing should work, and I'm glad you got it working. Some games require hardware playback and will not work with macro's set through the software. The Led lights will work, you need hardware playback checked, then assign an LED to the profile.

 

Sandricia:

You have 6 profiles you can save to the mouse. Make sure when you create the profile you have hardware play back checked. Then you need to save it to the mouse and assign and LED light for it. Go ahead and set the lift height to high, then back to medium. It should adjust to your surface. You may also want to set a different Report Rate setting.

Indeed this is how it works. But I have to emphasize that it would help a lot if there was some guide/manual/tutorial for this thing. I had to read the forums for good hour or two before I could get the mouse working as I intended. I can imagine that not everyone will go thru the trouble and just curse the mouse for its complications... And after reading that you can brick the whole rat if u r unlucky, well u just don't want to start ticking unknown options from settings without a manual.

I bought the M90 mouse.

Everythings works fine on my side with the lastest program, a help guide would be nice with the program tho. Fine product, love it up to now..

 

Also a suggestion. Action on key press and depress would be wonderfull.

Just to be clear here. Am not talking about the macro action key press and depress that already exist, but the mouse key press and depress themselves.

This would enable for example:

on pressing button1 --> Fire+zoom+sniper sensitivity.

on releasing button1 --> Stop firing+dezoom+normal sensitivity.

 

Also as you probably noticed, we cant use SNIPE SENSITIVITY or other standard mouse command combined with customised macro. Would be nice if we could.

 

Cant wait for the next update ^_^

I've posted a guide on my findings of the Beta 2.12 software and firmware flashing!! http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=103683

[RAM GUY]

Thank you for the post. At first the glance profile creation and management can be confusing. As you play and go through the settings you will get the trick. A lot of users are posting about how to do manage it. I have suggested doing a post / blog to go in depth in profile creation, and to show in a "real world" game how to set it up.

[Cymbrogi]

Count me in as one struggling to get it working, but it seems worth the effort. However, of everything, one glaring issue is the mouse acceleration. Never had it, never want it, but the inability to turn it off on the M90 is close to a deal killer for me. Please tell me that's coming!

 

Thx

[RAM GUY]

Mouse acceleration is a setting that I had always turned off with former mice I had used. With the M60 and M90 I have not experienced what a traditional acceleration would of caused.

 

Your feedback is noted.

[Cymbrogi]

I just realized something - what I'm calling "mouse acceleration" may actually be related to DPI settings and that I'm not quite used to a mouse that is so sensitive. I may have to tweak the 3 DPI levels to get it where I'm comfortable rather than the defaults.

 

I'll keep trying it - I really like the hardware for the most part, the side buttons do seem a bit stiff for me as well, with my biggest problem using them without clicking the RMB at the same time. That and the fact that I have TOO MANY buttons to pick from now!

 

Cymbrogi

[RAM GUY]

Try using the DPI around 2000 and see how you like it.

 

What I have found using the M90 buttons is when I first started using it I would press the buttons with the upper part of my thumb, near the tip, after time I started pressing the buttons not moving my thumb at all and pressing them farther down on my thumb. Hope this makes sense.

[Cymbrogi]

We're getting there. Lowering the 3 dpi settings made a difference for me and I'm noticing the side buttons are getting a little easier to push. It's just getting used to the layout and I think a lot of folks don't quite appreciate how much effort it takes to adjust to these kinds of changes. Its like when you get a new cellphone - you have to learn where all the keys are, even though all cellphones are similar, they don't put all the keys in the same place.

 

One interesting issue that's cropped up - I get a static shock the first time I grab the mouse after sitting down, because of the metal body on it! Nothing horrible, just amusing.

[G78]

Just two ideas am throwing in, wandering what other would think about it.

If theres ever another version of this mouse.

 

The sniper button, if it could have a mid-press function on it.

A bit like those cybershot sony camera. You feel the halfway press difference with the fully pressed one.

I dunno if this could be possible on a mouse mechanically. But it would definitely have a advantage on all other FPS gaming mouse out there for sure.

 

This would then be possible:

Half press-> Zoom, sensitivity 200

Fully pressed--> Stay on Zoom, sensitivity 200 Hold breath

Release to Half press-->release breath but still on Zoom and Sensitivity 200

Repress to Fully press-->Re-holding breath, Still on ZOOM and Sensitivity 200

Release completely button-->un-zoom, release breath,Sensitivity back at desired normal level.

 

* Of course need to be able to use sensitivity and macro, witch is not the case right now.

 

There might be other advantages to such a button also. Need some brainstorming to find out. ^_^

 

-----------

 

Also that thumb rest area... it could be a micro offset touch pad.. Or in this case Thumb pad.

 

There i have 2 idea that may need some testing:

1-Use that thumbpad to move around at like "50" in addition to the mouse itself.

2-Use that thumbpad to detect special thumb mouvement to activate some non critical commands. Like a X, a \ or a / or a | or a - or a 8 and so on. mouvement detection binded to speacial non critical Cmd.

 

If this would be necessary or even useful, i dont know. Just curious of what people think about it.

I like M60 alot, but it has a lack of macro-manager functionality. I used before X7 Oscar mouse which is cheap, awful, BUT - it has its own macro language! You can program everything you want! I wish Corsair to steal all the Oscar technologies =)

 

But seriously. I play BattlefieldHeroes game and I miss such option:

* Play as gunner:

1. Press "1" to change weapon (MG)

2. Press Left Mouse Button (LMB) to fire

3. While holding macro-button count 5 seconds and if still holding - when press "C" to activate shield

4. go to 2

 

* Play as soldier:

1. Press "R" to reload previous weapon (in BFH it reloads while in pocket :) )

2. Press "4" to change weapon (pistol)

3. While holding macro-button keep pressing LMB to shoot via pistol continuously.

 

And surely previous ideas of guys above me - very appreciated!

am A OLD WFA, DESCENT, DOOM, QUAKE Fan, We used allot of Quake Script language in those time.

So what your talking about brings back memories.

I saw the birth of the console window and all its application.

Hell i even builded from ground up a GUI from it.

 

Now, they block most functionality of console commands because allot of people abuse it with hacks. understandable. But now we cant use the on press, on Depress, on double press, on triple press, on hold. commands like before. or even create sub script to monitor some variable to select the proper binding.. etc...

 

But having this on the keyboard and mouse instead of the console itself... hang on.. now THAT i WANT!

 

If i could have a simple auto rocket jump subroutine from 1 mouse button, this would rock.

Good old times, man!..

You reminded me that Corsair soft can't emulate mouse movements. X7 Oscar - can do it. Same again about "use the on press, on Depress, on double press, on triple press, on hold".

There is a place to grow - isn't it, Corsair developers? :sunglasse

[G78]

And the one that never has been done before.. the half press. Witch would be awesome ^_^

Hey! Where is Minimize button on mouse settings form?

My eyes not lying - where is NO Minimize button! *facepalm.jpg*
