Just a quick note on what fixed mine. I am running 64 bit Vista. I used the latest download and was having the same issue every time I tried to do anything with the software I received the HD MFC error.

I changed the installation directory from the default “C:/Program Files (x86)/…” to the 64 bit installation directory of “C:/Program Files/…” and this fixed the issue. My mouse is working fine again….FINALLY!

Love the mouse except i am also getting the same HID MFC error and then the bluescreen of death. Wondering why a $100 mouse is capable of making my alienware computer become nothing more than avery expensive paper weight. Please make an updated software for this as it truly is a wonderful mouse all things considered.

I have been using this mouse for over a year now. I run Windows Vista

It worked fine up until about a month ago.

The smaller of the thumb buttons on the left side has ceased to function.

The color no longer changes (I’m stuck with a weird purple color).

I have had to toy with binding in game and on the software, but I’ve always been able to get most (all, until lately) of my buttons working eventually. On the software, I simply set each extra button to a set of action buttons that I don’t use in the game. From there it’s a just a matter of setting your in-game keybinds to those extra buttons. This process took a bit of trial and error to set up originally, but it has worked fine until recently.

Now my mouse randomly stops working in a couple different ways.
1) No movement and No buttons. (temporarily fixable by un/replugging)
2) Movement works, No buttons work. This occurs in-game, and is temporarily fixable by minimizing the game screen or pressing ctrl-alt-del followed by a quick Esc. This happens the most often and is very frustrating.

I should also mention that the metallic surface is flaking off. Oh well, it adds character.

I feel I should also say that I absolutely love this mouse. Having had an extra 8 buttons at my disposal for the last year has been amazing. I know there are more than 8 extra buttons, but the 4way thumb button simply isn’t practical for much besides vanity items. I would love to see an improved version of this product, and here are my ideas of some:
-Lower Price- even $60 is expensive for a mouse.
-Less Flash- it’s cool, but I don’t NEED my mouse to flash different colors, and if losing that feature took some $$ off the price tag it would be a good trade.
-The Feel (of the button-press)- Every button on this beast should click with the speed and responsiveness of the main right and left clicks. Some of the buttons just feel weak and springy. Ideally there would be no ‘play’ in the extra buttons (if you gently rested your finger on a button and tried to move your finger around slightly, the button would not move at all). *I think the feel of the mouse in my hand is great, its just the buttons/clicks I would improve.

I would love to get a reply from this feedback.

Okey … I have been using the WOW mouse for almost a year now.
First of all I had 2 “sticky buttons” , which I solved. But then after a couple of weeks the “fake metal surface” flake of. That how ever I can live with even tho its kinda annoying.
The worst thing about this mouse is that , Im getting bluescreens becuz of it. It says “Application HID MFC has stopped working” and after like 2 mins I get a bluescreen.. I have been having nerdrage attacks all since. -.-
The point is I paid what .. 99 bucks for it , yea? And for what?? A mouse that is glowing and makes my comp crash.. Im begging u guys at Steelseries to make some kinda of software (that shit that u guys call a software , must be written by a tard,kina like this angry words) :P.
Otherwise , love the mouse but I wont accept that its acting like this. So Im thinking of going bk to the place I Bought it and request a new one. And just for fun , Im gonna yell and tell them whata piece of junk this really is.
Improve the quallity.. I know Steelseries can make for-ever-gaming-gear , so Im gonna think u guys was slacking with making this software.
But plz update the software so that I can use the mouse without having bluescreens every day.. GO GO GO SLACKERS x’) hehe

When I first downloaded and installed the drivers My macros worked fine but I couldnt change the colors or add a profile..so I reinstalled it and now I can change the colors but none of my macros work and still a no-go on my profile…I now own a $100 mouse that only lights up…

I bought the mouse and it was completely faulty and did not work at all. I returned it and the replacement works on my pc with vista but although i have downloaded the latest softwear it will not work properly on my laptop which has windows 7. I cannot change the colours and the buttons will only work on the default settings and will not changeto any other setting, My profile works ok but this is the only thing that does. All in all a lot of money for a mouse that will not work as described

This is the worst mouse ever everytime I need to click and drag or just clicking crashes wow I have gone back to my logitech g5. I was a fan of the zboard and am sorry to say that I will never buy anything made by steel series again. Learn how to make a product right first. The response you were hyping new products over fixing existing tells it all about your company, you could care less about the customer and I could care less about you.
