Distorted · Feb 23, 2019

Hello i want to order a mouse.Specifically the Asus gt300.In the Asus official site the drivers start from windows 8 and up.I send them an email and their reply was that they havent tested it on Windows 7.I hate win 10 and i dont want to switch OS just for a mouse.Should i try my luck?

Dont bother then.

A Durable Mouse I can suggest is the Roccat Kone XTD.

Another is the Return of the Logitech MX518.

I told you the suggestions I did because I know they will have drivers/software for Windows 7, so take it or leave it...

According to the user manual, the drivers should work on Windows 7 and even XP.

However, for the same price, you can get Logitech G Pro, a perfect mouse for gaming.

I use G Pro myself and usually kicking everybody's butt, unless, of course, they use cheats.

Hmm havent looked at the manual...Weird that its the only Asus mouse that win 7 arent included.I guess ill try my luck.Thank you for your suggestion but i did my research.

You only need special mouse drivers to activate any special features on the mouse. Since it is wired, the mouse will work regardless with any OS that supports mouse input. Otherwise, you could not use the mouse in Safe Mode, in the BIOS Setup Menu, or even to install a OS on a new system.

Instead of asking ASUS tech support, I might suggest you ask folks on the ASUS forum.

As far as hating W10, I suggest you get past that. W7 is quickly going the way of the dinosaur and XP. Running into hardware and software support and compatibility issues with W7 is only going to get worse as time moves on because hardware makers and software developers have little to no incentive to expend valuable resources to ensure compatibility with a legacy, 10 year old, superseded and obsolete OS.

Remember, it is easy to make W10 look and feel like W7. W10 is more secure. Privacy and security are not the same thing and besides, it is now easy to control your privacy settings anyway - not to mention Google, Facebook, your ISP and most significantly your cell phone carrier are who you need to worry about when it comes to privacy, not Microsoft. Other reports of problems with W10 (notably Windows Update issues) tend to be greatly over-exaggerated by the Windows and Microsoft bashers, and uninformed lemmings.

Sooner or later i will upgrade to Windows 10.Its inevitable.So far everything is working ok.

Going to go to 8.1 next year when 7 support ends, then eventually Win 10 LTSB if no other alternatives appear. Maybe that route will work for you.

I hated 8-8.1 even more lol.

8.1 support ends next year too. I actually love 8.1, used with Start8, and one of my pc’s runs on it, but support is nearing the end.

I thought 8.1 went to 2023?

Maybe extended support. Mainstream ends next year I believe. Still I’m keeping my 8.1 rig running anyway as long as possible.

Edit: mainstream ended last January, and extended ends in 2023.

Yeah, so good for a few more years.

That would be like going from XP to Vista before going to Windows 7. In other words, a bad move. And a harder one IMO. Moving from W7 to W10 is an easier learning curve than W7 to W8.x.

Right - for W8.1.

Mainstream support for W7 ended 4 years ago. Extended ends next January.

FTR, W8 was an excellent OS. It was just a commercial failure because of the way Microsoft tried to jam the Metro UI down everyone's throat so we would be inclined to buy a Windows Phone next time we went smart phone shopping. But if you consider the job of an OS is to facilitate communications between all the hardware and software, and do it safely and securely, it was very good at that.

And yeah, Start 8 was the way to go! That's the only way I survived W8.x. Now I use Start 10 on my two main W10 systems - though navigating W10's native start menu is pretty easy too.
