Posted June 2, 200915 yr Hey guys its me again I'm having another strange problem with one of my mice. The MX 518 my brother has being using is peeling ..... it seems that pretty much everywhere there is a thin coating of rubber that it has started rub off. I was wondering if anyone else has had any thing like this happen to there mouse? As you can see my MX 518 has being used so much I have actually worn off nearly all of the logitech embossed logo but has little to no damage done to the rubber. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/MXcentre.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/MXleft.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/MXright.jpg My mouse is the one with the folded cord and is on the right in all of the photos. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
June 2, 200915 yr My G9 mouse has done the same thing, not as bad but in places. liek dun the g9 have 2 cases smooth and rough?? mine is perfect and i had mine 4 yalez getting mad for peoples amusement
June 2, 200915 yr Hasn't happened to my G5, the "sticker" on the bottom of the mouse has worn off tho near where the cord goes in. Only other strange thing that seems to happen is using the mouse on my mouse pad i get a strange wax like buildup from the mouse onto the mousepad, only happens in the top left corner of the mouse pad. Tis a thermaltake ali pad similar to this one but sans usb/light crap http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Upload/Product/Product/1683/Photos/168bf0c9-3d9c-4bcb-9d66-b4fa7980c7ed/B_03_topview_450.gif.jpg There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.
June 2, 200915 yr Author I assume it has to do with being exposed to sun the room my PC in has only one window and faces away from the sun most of the day. However the room my brother had the mouse in gets more sun through more windows so maybe that is what is causing it. Maybes its even biologic his skin might be more acidic or something like that? http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
June 2, 200915 yr Maybes its even biologic his skin might be more acidic or something like that? was just thinking the same thing while reading your sun theory. could very well be his skin acids eating at the thin membrane they use on the rubber to give it that 'jus roit' tactile feel (o: There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master.

June 2, 200915 yr Mircroosoft standard mouse + keyboard pakage $20 FTW!!!! haha and to think you paid more for your MOUSE lol http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss187/Chanvlan/new_kit.jpg yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']
June 2, 200915 yr my 518 is just like yours vis. logitech logo about the same state too. my 'rubber' or plastic, whatever it is, doesn't feel like anything will rub off on it. gets no sun on it either. http://imgur.com/e5y6e.gif You've already ruined these forums for me, I have no desire to read your rhetoric or the pathetic arguments you get yourself in to, or the personal vendetta you have against me, so please, do not talk to me. Ever. About anything.
June 2, 200915 yr Author Could be a cheap build as well I suppose it certainly does not seem to be norm at all so far. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
June 2, 200915 yr Time to pull out Dremel/knife and do a custom engraving "grip" job? Fear is another word for weakness.

June 2, 200915 yr Re: MX™518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse Does he eat a lot while playing ? stuff like oil from chips n twisties n stuff can affect some plastics over time.
June 2, 200915 yr Author Maybe I have never really paid attention he does generally use the pc allot more than I do and handle the mouse allot more he works for Aussieweb or something like that in marketing. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
June 2, 200915 yr Yeah that's probably it, skin contaminants [food etc] or overly acidic skin. I must have really rough fingerprints or something because on my G5v2, I've worn the rough rubber stuff off on the clicker down to a shine... But yeah neither my nor my brother's G5/G7 have the symptoms you've experienced, and we've been using them for going on 2 years now? http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man. It tells you not to play the second worst PR map [burning Sands] (first is Wanda Shan). QFT: if you dont get pissed off when you lose you dont care enough

June 2, 200915 yr I'd give you rep Kush... But you neg repped me that one time http://i.imgur.com/zoL1k.png
June 2, 200915 yr Yea Vis, this is happening to my MX 518. It is happening most at the part right where the webbing of my index and middle finger meet, and all around the scroll wheel and DPI buttons. Also I just noticed that it is starting to peel almost on the bottom where my thumb meets my hand. Logitech logo is still in place, everything else is fine. I guess it's because it's hot up here, so my hands get a bit sweaty, also mine gets a fair bit of sunlight and dust from the maintenance road right next to my window. Also, I have a but of waxy stuff on my mousepad, that's cause some practical joker drew a penis and a pair of boobs on my mouse pad, and I covered 'em up with permanent marker and now the marker is rubbing off. http://i.imgur.com/DtNdckc.png [WC]Xavo|xXx:
June 2, 200915 yr Author Well it just isn't a good day to be you is it sir. I guess that settles it looks like its a user issue more so than a manufacturing problem. I guess it can just site in my cupboard until I get bored enough to peel the dam thing off one day. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
June 2, 200915 yr Been using my el-cheapo logitech mouse and g15 for about 2 years. As a prolific shooter, my wasd and control keys are starting to fade just a bit. And the icky stuff from the mouse I can assure you is from a combination of dusty, sweaty palms from one of two activities I can think you lot have been doing, eating finger/oily food near your comp + acidic skin which gives the peeling and logo-rubbing-offer-thinga-majig. Try to be more hygenic guys, given the state of swine flu epidemic going around..=P Call sign: 'GLORIA' Me: Boss, So you're dead dead down dead? Buzzsnr: Yes, I'm down down dead down. Dead.
