Ms Comfort Mouse 3000
I am SO glad Microsoft Mouse 3000 still resembles the old Microsoft optical mice, which are no longer being made. The old Microsoft optical mice were better made, lasting longer than the Microsoft Mouse 3000, but it is such a relief to have a computer mouse which feels the same way and is as easily controllable as I need.
It seems Windows 8 can't detect Microsoft Mice properly.I clicked on the little red side button on my MS Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 (COM 3K) and realized that it isn't properly configured. I then went to the Microsoft hardware page and downloaded something called Device Center - which appears to be the replacementfor Intellipoint software in Windows 8.After installation, I ran the applet.

Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000
It said there were no Microsoft devices attached. Oddly enough, the web page the software referred to that lists compatible hardware lists the MS COM 3K as the 3rd item from the top. I tried to unplug and replug themouse into the PS/2 port without any luck.I then uninstalled the Device Center software and downloaded and installed Intellipoint 8.2 for Windows 7. Cost drivers of internationalisation. After a reboot, it also says there's NO Microsoft mice plugged into the box.Oddly enough, the mouse works perfectly well otherwise in Windows 8.
It also shows up in Device Manager as a Microsoft Mouse plugged into a PS/2 port - which is accurate.Any solutions on how to get around this?P.S. The mouse, along with the Intellimouse driver works properly under Vista and Windows 7 and used to work properly under XP (XP has been removed from this system to make room for the Win 8 CP). Uninstall all drivers that you installed which are related to your mouse. Then restart your PC and then run Windows Update (make sure your mouse is connected) and then install all updates. Follow steps on.OK.
Uninstalled everything having to do with the mouse. I logged back in, the default mouse driver was reinstalled automatically. Couldn't exactly do much about that.I enabled Microsoft Update on top of Windows Update (just in case that had anything to do with it). Found there were two updates pending - one for a C Redistributable SP1 and the other was for Windows Defender.
No Mouse related wares on the agenda.FWIW, With Windows 7, Vista and XP, I never had to go thru so many hoops. The Intellipoint driver was able to take over for the default MS driver without too much grief. Just install the software and reboot - no hassles.Either way - the driver software says there's NO Microsoft mouse plugged in - even when I know otherwise.Oh. And the Compatibility page you sent me to lists the Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 4 button as being compatible. I re-reinstalled the Device Center beta software mentioned above. And this time I was a bit more careful reading the displayed message.It says:'Microsoft Device Center cannot detect a Microsoft device connected to your computer.This may be because Microsoft Device Center does not automatically detect and configure PS/2, Bluetooth and some USB devices.' So I'm more than happy to configure the device manually - except there's no means to do so.I also get that PS/2 ports are going the way of the dodo.
Except they're not quite gone yet. Many 3rd party motherboards still come with PS/2 ports even if the big makers (Dell, HP, Toshiba, etc.) don't provide them.
On one hand, Microsoft DOES providesupport for PS/2 devices - my keyboard and mouse both are plugged into PS/2 ports and DO work properly using the default drivers. And yet, if you want to use your product to the fullest, you MUST use a USB product.There's a reason why I use my mouse in PS/2 mode. The port is a few inches closer to where the mouse sits on my desk. That few inches is what allows me to use the mouse in the first place. Plugging it into a USB port is therefore a non-starter.
