Logitech Wireless Mouse, Scroll Wheel Eratic

Post by kc8oye »

I've seen tons and tons of posts on how to adjust scroll distance, and smooth scrolling, but haven't found anything related to my issue :(

when I move the mouse around, everything is find, pointer tracks smooth and accurate.. however, when I use the scroll wheel, it 'jitters' instead of scrolling.. sometimes it will scroll down 2 or 3 times, then suddenly jump up, almost to where I started it again..

I don't believe it's a hardware issue.. never had problems with it when I used it with Win10. i'm thinking maybe a driver, or settings issue?
mouse is a Logitech M185, i'm not sure exactly which unified receiver I have. it was part of a kit with my wireless keyboard (Which also works great) keyboard is a k270. the more i think about it.. I replaced the mouse that used to go with this.. I used it so much it wouldn't glide across the mousepad any more lol.
