Logitech Options mouse cursor problems

As those of you who are using Logitech peripherals may already know, Logitech Options is a powerful third-party application that enhances your Logitech mice, keyboards, and touchpads.

While the mice, keyboards, and touchpads can run just fine just by using the drivers, Logitech Options can be considered more of an enhancement tool.

The tools included mostly favor those particularly interested in gaming, such as improved features for multi-button gaming mice.


If you’re a gamer, you should get one of these awesome gaming mice ASAP.


The problem is that several users reported having problems with their mouse controls when using Optimus and Logitech Options.

The problem only seems to occur when 1050 is off, as they were able to reproduce the issue 100% of the times.

However, If the 1050 function is active in any way, no issues are visible.

Several options were tried to advert this problem, including:

  • Using an older version of Logitech Options.
  • Forcing the 3 options EXEs that stay running to use the Intel Graphics card instead of anything else
  • Zwaffeling

Unfortunately, the only workaround that seems to work would be uninstalling Optimus and Logitech Options altogether, and simply using other third-party tools that perform similar tasks.

The issue itself is not all that common and there are several disputes regarding who the culprit may actually be. 

This is made even more difficult by the fact that many of the users don’t even share similar build specs.

While some attribute this problem to faulty drivers or incompatible hardware, some are even pointing fingers at the Windows 10 May 2019 Update.

Whichever it may be, if you do encounter similar issues, do not hesitate to consider contacting Logitech Customer Support to help solve this issue.

If all else fails, you may want to follow the same workaround mentioned above.
