Mouse acts as a controller

[BoyE]

Back in september 2016 i bought a logitech g502, everything has been fine until now.
A week ago it started acting as a controller in certain games such as The Witcher 3.
The game would say "Press A to skip" but would go back to "Press Enter to skip" as soon as I unplugged the mouse.
Also, windows becomes much less responsive when plugged in. for example:

- Deactivates the windows button (the one on the keyboard) (pressing it wont open the startmenu)
- Cant switch to programs by clicking on them in the taskbar
- Search function doesn't open when pressed.

And the lists goes on.

The funny thing is that this happens every computer that I plug it into.
Tried on my new laptop (MSI GS73VR) and it immediately produced the same effects.

I've tried:
- Installing new firmware on the mouse
- Reinstalling drivers
- Renaming xinput1_3.dll (someone said this could work)
- Multiple different USB ports

The problem exists somewhere on the mouse or in the software on it.

Currently the only solution I see is throwing the mouse in the trashcan or launching it into orbit with a trebuchet.

P.S. Never owned a controller, so it isn't some other software playing games with me.

Pull the mouse driver, if it continues replace the mouse

I would surmise that the mouse is ready to live in the trash bin. In my experience, Logitech mice do some strange things when they start kicking the bucket. They have a two year warranty so assuming your bought it new in Sep. 16, you should be able to get it replaced. My experience with their support has been excellent. When my G500s (or G5, don't remember) died, they were going to replace it with either a 500s or G5 but on request they replaced it with a G502 for no charge.

After the MX510/518 I moved to Roccat

I still have my 510 and 518. I just love the feel of the 5 series.

I couldn't find good stock mouse glidesa for them anymore. The Kone XTD felt like the 510/18
