This is great software (unusual for logitech) which now gives Mx1000 power management options. Unfortunatly it took quite a bit to install: 1st a complete uninstall of all setpoint software was neccessary - which required a complete uninstall of SpySweeper 5.5. 2nd antivirus software needed to be OFF ie inactive. 3rd after the initial install the program needed to modify itself via the internet - a 40 mb install pared down to a 11.10 mb install specific to the devices on my system. If this last step does not occure or you do not allow it to occure the software installs as discribed in the previous post. It gets a 5 because it's full featured (no longer need to install uber-options) and functions stably exactly as I need it to. If the next update install is as convoluted... Major Downgrade! |

Nice Update. Works well on Vista. I can also say that 3.3 never gave me any of the problems other reviewers have mentioned. Perhaps some of those people who had problems should download this version for themselves and then review it, or perhaps some people would like to stick with DOS. |

I haven't had issues in a while. Kind've absurd that mouse drivers take up so much space, (much more than my browser) but I think we've lost that war a long time ago: bloat is standard on windows. |

this version works fine on XP too. and if you have the bug, where firefox not only closes a tab when pressing the left thumb button, but also goes back a page in the next active tab.. this setpoint version fixes that! |

this software does what is should, i have a Logitech G5 Laser Mouse and it does improve the accuracy of the mouse, the default windows based is slower then the setpoint one, as far i know this works 100% correct on x64 windows am running xp x64 with latest patches now and no problems what so ever, it had some problems before but if you use the x64 version everything is fine :) ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse/setpoint310_x64.exe there you go thats the x64 version right from logitech's own ftp server :) |

anyone have x64 version link? |

With XP Pro and Cordless Desktop® MX™ 3200 Laser (keyboard and mouse) installed I have had no problems with SetPoint 4.72 or any other version I've used. I'm not a big fan of SetPoint because there are so many things that can cause conflicts with it and generally do not have it installed. The keyboard and mouse work fine without it, but I recently found some uses for some of the special settings in SetPoint and reinstalled it and have had no problems with it; everything works great in every program I've used it in. I say if you don't need it don't install it. The only problem I've had with Logitech is the G7; I was on my second and it crapped out after a year. They sent me a G9 as a replacement and now have to install a seperate version of SetPoint designed only for G9. They say SetPoint 5.10.203 will co-exist with 4.72; we will see. Although I'm not a big fan of SetPoint I can't really give it less than a 5 because its always worked for me, but that may change soon. |

Works like a charm with my MX Revolution on a Vista system. |

Nice piece of software, although 15 megs seems a bit bloated for what it does (when game detection is disabled). Also, this claims to be build 610, but it looks like it is the old build, 590. |
| fatray | Dec 10, 2008 | 4.70 | 5 out of 5 |
I'm a little confused on this new release. I've been using version 5.00.175 for a few months now. |
| bls2k5 | Dec 13, 2008 | 4.70 | 5 out of 5 |
Works fine on Vista, despite previous reviews. As for trackpads on laptops not working, when did logitech start making trackpads? Anyway DeNovo Edge and MX Revolution here and Setpoint 4.70 works great. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 and 4.70 is much quicker than previous releases. |
| Flemens | Dec 10, 2008 | 4.70 | 5 out of 5 |
Adrian: No joke. Maybe you just use the two buttons in your mouse, so you dont use it to the fullest. But I use all 9 of mine the way I want so I need extra software. |
| Stephen_hazen | Dec 10, 2008 | 4.70 | 5 out of 5 |
I just successfully installed this package on Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server. 460 failed to install. Just being able to know when the batteries are low make it well worth the time involved in installing. I use the EX110 keyboard and mouse. BTW I am running SP2 of 2003 which uses the same kernel that the new Vista SP2 will be using. If I can have all the buttons on my mouse and keyboard working on Server, Vista and XP are a walk in the park. Good work Logitech. |
| minklein | Dec 10, 2008 | 4.70 | 5 out of 5 |
It's big because it not only covers all their mice but it covers all the keyboards as well. Works great for me, 510 keyboard and G5 mouse. No different than the way Microsoft works. Good job Logitech. |
| CoCoLee | Apr 17, 2006 | 2.60 | 5 out of 5 |
Great! My mx510 is supported by version 2.6. |
| Cris3 | Apr 17, 2006 | 2.60 | 5 out of 5 |
Made my MX1000 come alive. I like the pointer acceleration and full button configuration and even battery charge indicator. The automatic game recognition feature is convenient. The Logitech software that came with the mouse does not have all of these features. |
| mjm01010101 | Jun 6, 2007 | 4.00 |  4 out of 5 |
Install size is 10 MB, and this version seems better off the bat... |
| robmanic44 | Oct 26, 2006 | 3.10 | 4 out of 5 |
At least it doesn't crash my system like so many of the graphics card drivers have done. It supports my G5 very well and that's what it was suppose to do. |
| djurbino | Dec 9, 2007 | 4.24 | 4 out of 5 |
54mb for a mouse / keyboard driver ... ? |
| Hall9000 | Dec 7, 2007 | 4.24 | 4 out of 5 |
Point Zero "Too bad the software can't make the lifetime longer....... These wireless mouses will cost you 100 to 150$ a year. That means this is the worst in the value for money department. Value = 0" Ever heard of rechargeable batteries??? I use cheap rechargeables and and they almost last a month before I put in a new set in my mouse. As for the keyboard I can't remember the last time I changed those. They last at least two months in it. Before you ask I do a lot of typing and clicking! As for SetPoint? It does the job well. They seem to have corrected a problem I had where it would "forget" the speed settings I wanted. |
| why hello there | Dec 9, 2007 | 4.24 | 4 out of 5 |
Is there any point in updating from 4.00? |
| michaelkenward | Dec 8, 2007 | 4.24 | 4 out of 5 |
The software is fine. Piuty the letters rub off the keyboards. For the dolt complaining about battery life, I suggest further investigation. I did not know they made "gold" batteries, which can be the only explanation for the silly price you quote for a year's supply. My batteries last six months or more for the keyboard and at least as long for the mouse. Actually, I use a trackball. Which raises an issue with the software. It does not play well with odd combinations of legacy (old) hardware. |
| Cris3 | Jan 28, 2008 | 4.40 | 4 out of 5 |
It doesn't work on my Vista system and is not listed on the Logitech site yet. I would hold off loading this one. I reverted back to 4.24 |
| photonboy | Jan 29, 2008 | 4.40 | 4 out of 5 |
I can't find any problems but... Does Logitech plan to update the size of its Unified Driver package forever? I won't give a rating above 4 until they do. It's a justifiable complaint, especially if you are just "updating" (Logitech downloads a whole new package based on the new version number, not if your device needs it). Logitech should download the basic software which links back to Logitech and download ONLY the needed drivers as well as updating ONLY if the drivers for your product change. Is that so hard? Logitechs not the only one. NVidia does the same thing and every month I checked to see if a newer version was out then I used Acrobat's search tool to search for my video card to see if there were any changes (you can actually cause problems with some drivers). Let's see true "Plug 'n Play" or rather "Plug and Forget"? Is this too much to ask? (While Linux could do the things I ask, it would be much easier if Microsoft used Package management like Linux distros such as Linux do. I could probably walk away from Ubuntu for 2 years, then turn it on and it would update everything from the Kernal to the applications to the drivers. In the near future, Windows will be simply a second OS for playing games not yet made for Linux.) Okay, I've had my rant but maybe somebody will listen. |
| imnra | Jan 29, 2008 | 4.40 | 4 out of 5 |
Version 440 IS on the Logitech site, however it is for VISTA only, per Logitech. |
| BoNeLeSS | Jun 26, 2006 | 3.00 | 4 out of 5 |
The only problem is the download size, because its filled with lots of pretty images of all logitech devices. |
| OAKsider | Feb 8, 2007 | 3.30 | 4 out of 5 |
Unless you have a Logitech mouse with battery packs that need monitoring and adjustable DPI settings - like the G7 Laser- you probably do NOT need SetPoint. But with SetPoint you have more control over custom game settings and more, along with low-batt notifications. Works great, may be oversized for its purpose but no performance hit on any decent rig. B+ |

Does this install on vista 32bit? |
| mjm01010101 | Dec 10, 2008 | 4.70 | 4 out of 5 |
Dude, my mouse has 8 buttons, each with potentially hundreds of functions. If you can manage that without software, be my guest! |
| stopbuggingme | Apr 17, 2006 | 2.60 | 4 out of 5 |
Well this is a welcome update, works on my 32bit windows, but I want updated x64 versions as well. x64 always gets the shaft. Anyways this seems to work fine on my 32bit windows with my G7. |
| horsecharles | Apr 17, 2006 | 2.60 | 4 out of 5 |
Should be noted this is for the new generation of mice-- all others still get the 9.79.1.Build 25 Mouseware last updated 2½ years ago... Edit: yah, EZH... they make one click a million screens/prompts to choose the proper mouse model & operating system, then give everyone the same entire bloat package anyway: all models & all OS starting with DOS included. And to this day no automatic updater-- except for the background-running Logitech News, which only informs there is an update available..... You know-- that's not deserving of a perfect score--so down we go. |
| ezh | Apr 17, 2006 | 2.60 | 4 out of 5 |
45mb? The whole OpenOffice is 75Mb... |

| masterren | Jul 15, 2006 | 3.01 | 4 out of 5 |
Just updated through the auto-update feature. I don't see any changes. |
| gderreck | Jul 25, 2006 | 3.01 | 4 out of 5 |
Am new to the forum, so I don't have any great insight. However I would like to add my 2 cents. I purchased a V400 laser notebook mouse. Love the mouse, but windows would not always detect the receiver, and when the mouse went into hibernation (at irregular intervals), it required 2 to 3 shakes to wake it up. Logitech support said it was the usb port. That was nonsense, but logitech support requires a forum of its own. I downloaded the 3.01 driver, and voila, the problems mentioned above went away. There is still a lag after the mouse sits, but nothing like it was with the previous release. Looks like the changes were under the hood. Take it easy guys. |
| dzjepp | Jul 14, 2006 | 3.01 | 4 out of 5 |
No it works fine for all mice. It detected my mx518 correctly. |
| sarrik | Sep 22, 2006 | 3.10 |  3 out of 5 |
A 3 from me. I only use the logitech driver because it lets me configure every button on my MX 1000. If MS generic drivers let me do that, this one would be history. Setpoint is bloated and contains inexplicable ad links. Granted you can disable the ads on install, but they're still simply useless ads that are a watse of resources. Besides, why would a huge company like Logi need to install ads? Only thing other than configuring all buttons that I'm happy with is that it's nothing like the Harmony Remote drivers where you have to log in to use it and all stages of configuration are web based questions. Eeeeeeewwwww! Edit: On a second look, this version didn't have any options for adware, and didn't install any shortcuts for them. It pays to pay attention I guess. My apologies to Logi for that. Still bloated for a mouse driver though. |
| 4wd | Jan 28, 2008 | 4.40 | 3 out of 5 |
@djurbino: Yes, at 54MB they seem to have well and truly lost the plot - considering the software is not even half useful as it comes. For those that wish to make full use of the software, (i.e. fully programmable mouse buttons on a per program basis), then I recommend installing uberOptions, http://rlowens.googlepages.com/ Current beta works well with Setpoint 4.24 Until Logitech get off their collective butts and give me what uberOptions can in less than 10MB, then at best it's very mediocre software considering how much they charge for their mice/keyboards. |
| Qlib | Jan 30, 2008 | 4.40 | 3 out of 5 |
i guess its cos they have all keyboards and such in it as well its big but having a built in update feature is pointless if u always have to get the SAME download.. its like nero.. .. if you only use burning rom and none of the other stuff.. to update that.. u still need a 180mb or so download.. but.. ah well.. guess thats what happens when the rich part of the world gets broadband.. im STILL annoyed that theres lots of settings you CANT change.. luckily theres modification tools like uberOptions that can do it for you.. and for heavens sake logitech.. CHANGELOGS PLEASE!.. ph yea.. when I went to logitechs site and searched for a driver for XP i got this one.. even tho its supposedly for vista.. and it runs just fine in XP so.. dunno... |
| sarrik | Feb 9, 2007 | 3.30 | 3 out of 5 |
I'll ask right now. What's wrong with a simple windows dialog type driver setup interface?! There's really no need for all that fancy garbage. That aside, it does work a little better than the last release I had (3.1.1 I think) which would occasionally forget all of my settings on startup, or simply fail to start. If not for the sheer size of the download through the incomprehensible need for a skinned interface, I'd give this a bit higher rating. And hopefully the update actually works this time. My old software tried to update before I came here and told me there was no update available. Go figure... |
| guti | Dec 21, 2006 | 3.15 | 3 out of 5 |
Incredible! 40 meg for a mouse driver... |
| sniggle | May 14, 2006 | 2.60 Build 606 | 3 out of 5 |
Drivers for relatively simple devices should not consume more than 10MB of disk space, period. I don't care what kind of interface they have, it's just bloated beyond a point. However, these do work just fine for my mouse and I haven't had any real complaints. Much better than the old MouseWare drivers, that's for sure. |
| ezh | May 14, 2006 | 2.60 Build 606 | 3 out of 5 |
Why is it 45Mb??? The whole Openoffice is 80Mb and this is only a mouse & keyboard draiver! |
| gawd21 | Dec 10, 2008 | 4.70 | 3 out of 5 |
This has some really nice features, but compared the MS Ipoint and type it has three times the foot print. Sometimes the back work for FF and Windows doesn't really need the software to run the mouse, it works fine without it. |
| ckasprzak | Jul 15, 2006 | 3.01 | 3 out of 5 |
Drive supports my G5, but I've decided to stop using setpoint due to high memory requirements. Most of the functions I need with my mouse are supported by the MS HID driver. |
| MarlinT | Jul 14, 2006 | 3.01 | 3 out of 5 |
As far as I know this is an official version, but why is it never posted on the site anymore? 3.00 was released on here as well and on the site it is 2.60 still, and it seems to have carried over for the release of 3.10 |
| horsecharles | Feb 2, 2008 | 4.40 |  2 out of 5 |
I echo Qlib-- seems that before SetPoint, a lot more settings in Logitech peripherals were customizable. As well this software needs a lot more work for laptops with touchpads n Synaptic software. And i agree with all others re the driver download: dispense of the endless clicking of peripheral and OS versions, as there's mostly only one package regardless of language, OS, peripheral type and model. One has to guess which subcategory one's peripheral falls under... and not all models are listed always as well-- it's a discombobulated & very frustrating process until one wises up. Even worse, the direct support / downloads / drivers link & url keep changing and disappearing from main home page... what's up with that? It's about time for a company of Logitech's stature to not only improve their website, but to more importantly-- develop an automated driver update AND as well an auto scan for peripheral. |
| sqstultz | May 20, 2008 | 4.60 | 2 out of 5 |
Still buggy with my Logitech Marble Mouse. Auto Scroll and Universal Scroll behave erratically, although the other features behave better. Still slows DocuPrinter down to a crawl while enabled. Oddly, this version works better and is a bit more stable under Windows XP SP3 than it is under Windows Vista SP1... and it's supposed to be FOR Vista! Still needs improvement. |
| anonymouscowturd | May 19, 2008 | 4.60 | 2 out of 5 |
Fail. 50mb for mouse software. F--. Behaviour is more than erratic. They need to sort this crap out and trim about 48mb off of this piece of rubbish. |
| aredo | May 14, 2006 | 2.60 Build 606 | 2 out of 5 |
My Logitech Cordless Desktop Optical PS/2-USB are not supported by SetPoint and I have to use the ancient iTouch+Mouseware drivers. Logitech dropped support for too many devices that are still sold on the market. This is really wrong. |
| SineWave | Jun 6, 2007 | 4.00 |  1 out of 5 |
First: 58MB for a mouse driver?! That's insane. Ofg course they can't work out the bugs. I tried using only the driver part without all the bells and whistles and I wasn't satisfied with the stability, too. It's a load of you-know-what and a great pitty, because all of their periferals are simply the best there is be it mice, keyboards or cameras. I'm just using any Logitech mouse with Windows drivers in Windows, with no problems whatsoever. Nevertheless, the taste is bitter, because i'd really like to change the assignement of some buttons. Can we get a small 200-300KB app for changing the buttons assignements, please? I don't want anything else, and I mean ANYTHING else. Just buttons assignements because this, what you offer us loyal users is a disgrace. There were always known problems with mice drivers in windows be it Logitech or MS, but it's not getting any better, it's just getting worse. Fire the whole software department and send them to sell burgers. |
| sqstultz | Jun 6, 2007 | 4.00 | 1 out of 5 |
I have to agree with the other user below, I too bought the Logitech Marble Mouse (and also the Trackman Wheel) but find SetPoint a total software disaster. I really do like the feel of the Marble Mouse, but the SetPoint software causes ALL SORTS of problems with my applications. For example, it slows down DocuPrinter (a product by Neevia) to the point where it's unusable. Other assorted applications malfunction in various ways. Remove SetPoint, and the problems are gone. Unfortunately, that does away with the programmable buttons on the Marble Mouse too. It's a crying shame Logitech can't release a software driver/interface that works along side other applications. And this version is only for Vista, which has it's own instability issues! |
| Dsfargeg | Jun 6, 2007 | 4.00 | 1 out of 5 |
They're really bloody retarded to make this Vista only. No sane person is using that crap. |
| Frostek | Jun 6, 2007 | 4.00 | 1 out of 5 |
Logitech make some really good hardware, but they should dump their software guys and get some new ones! 58 MB for *mouse* drivers? Is this a joke? |
| kda | Jun 11, 2007 | 4.00 | 1 out of 5 |
Version 4 in WinXP SP2. After reading all the "disaster" posts on the Logitech forums, I decided I needed to try for myself. But first, because of all the problems others were having after Version 4 bombed, I did a full backup of my HD before testing 4.0. I am glad I did. I needed it. Install went OK and the mouse worked ... but in the Logitech Setpoint control panel, the buttons could no longer be configured and like so many others, my expensive laser mouse (both cordless and corded) had become a basic $10 mouse with two buttons and no extras. Logitech should immediately pull these drivers and fix them before re-release. There are just too many folks on their forums with serious problems that are unable to get back to an earlier stable version of Logitech drivers short of reinstalling their operating systems. OUCH! |
| butthead | Sep 23, 2006 | 3.10 | 1 out of 5 |
1 point for actually being able to customize buttons. Bloated software, also responsible for the windows log off error: "dwwin.exe failed to intialize because the computer is shutting down." Really bad :/ |
| harmlessdrudge | Feb 3, 2008 | 4.40 | 1 out of 5 |
Do NOT install this software. First, it's buggy. Second, it's not obvious how it can be removed. It doesn't show up in the Control Panel nor is a program group created with an uninstall option. Logitech should be flogged for this. Update: the software has updated. Reinstalling and agreeing to download an update from Logitech seems to fix it. |
| anonymouscowturd | Nov 17, 2009 | 4.80 | 1 out of 5 |
"Upgraded" from 4.70 to 4.80. Now it doesn't work anymore. Surprise! Logitech may make a fantastic mouse, but they couldn't write software to save their lives. I rank this with Adobe Reader. Complete over-sized pile of excrement. |
| mprost | Mar 30, 2007 | 3.30 | 1 out of 5 |
I've been using MS mice for the last ten years, and I'm amazed at how a really great mouse as the Logitech MX 400 comes with such a piece of crap as SetPoint. "Universal scroll" hides middle button clicks from Firefox, "Autoscroll" is plain horrible in certain programs, middle button has to be pressed two times in Firefox to work, no per application assigments, lack of creative functions... Isn't there an alternative to this garbage? I was planning of buying an MX Revolution at home, but no thanks. Edit: fortunately there is an alternative, check out uberOptions (http://www.mstarmetro.net/~rlowens/) |
| mjm01010101 | Mar 14, 2007 | 3.30 | 1 out of 5 |
After install of this version (prompted by logitech's automatic updates,) the Microsoft Natural KEYBOARD attached to it stopped working! The left control and the "o" keys stopped working. uninstalling these drivers fixed the issue. After I uninstalled I got error messages in Outlook about missing dll's, that required a repair install. Logitech: great hardware/crappy software |
| joheben | Mar 6, 2007 | 3.30 | 1 out of 5 |
It makes Logitech QuickCam software (yes their own software) fail once a minute. Terrible. I uninstalled SetPoint and am not aware that I am missing any useful features at all. There was no documentation was provided with SetPoint, so I am left in the dark to figure out why I was recommended to install it in the first place. |
| afterall | May 16, 2007 | 3.30 | 1 out of 5 |
I have just bought a Logitech Marble Mouse and downloaded and installed Setpoint330 from Logitech. It causes lots of problems, freezes mouse buttons, it has upset Outlook link operations, and although good for setting the button functions I have uninstalled it. I have loaded the Logitech mouse driver from the suplied CD and this does allow me to set some button functions (click both L&R buttons for scrolling). Overall, less than impressed with Setpoint but pleased with the mouse. |
