I have been using a wired Logitech USB mouse for years and it suddenly became much slower. I thought it was a settings issue. I turned the speed up to max in Settings > Mouse. It was still slower than I wanted. When I take out my Magic Mouse and tap, the cursor moves across the screen.
So I have a standard USB mouse and an Apple Magic Mouse that suddenly became a slug… Both of these devices seem to be managed by a single preferences pane, ostensibly stored in a .plist.
The files found on this site are as follows: ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
Moving files ~/Users/brap/Desktop If I save and let the OS recreate the file, I still get the same result. Wired slug and Bluetooth rocket.
People have suggested that I should contact Logitech. It’s a hardware issue, not a software issue. This might make sense if the device hadn’t suddenly changed behavior two days ago.
I’ll take my mouse to a nearby big box store to see if the issue is replicated there.
Hopefully someone can give me an idea of ​​what to try next, rather than backing everything up and reinstalling from scratch. Does anyone of you know more about preferences and plists? Is there something I’m overlooking?
best.
