Test / Review GXT 25 Gaming Mouse

Infos: http://www.trust.com/products/product.aspx?artnr=18307



Pros: (partly german)

  • nice shape
  • easy install
  • very reasonable
  • very precise
  • fast clicking and scrolling
  • Ergonomisches, komfortables Design
  • One-Click-Taste für Doppelfeuer
  • Geschwindigkeitsauswahltaste (800-2000 dpi)
  • Goldplattierter USB-Stecker
  • Seitliche Gummiflächen für optimale Grifffestigkeit
Cons:
  • two finger pickup (to adjust location on mouse-mat) very bad. Often losing hold.
  • they advertise 7 buttons - actually there are only 4 usable buttons ... the rest is scroll wheel, DPI adjust button, double-click button ... 7 buttons is just a marketing joke ... very poor ...

Suggestion: invest a little bit more money and buy someting else ... like "Roccat Kone XTD"  ;-))

Good luck and have fun ...

Problem with HP 410 C: Printer automatically removed -> reinstall HP 410 C Photosmart Premium Driver

What a surprise: after using this printer for more than one year suddenly the corresponding driver was removed from my Win7. It was not really easy to reinstall, so I wrote it down for other users:


  1. Download driver from HP site (currently "PS_AIO_07_C410_FSW_Full_Win_deu_140_222.exe") 
  2. Double click it to start
  3. Chose point 1 and click on "weitere Software installierten:Inline-Bild 1
  4. Then it should reinstall the driver
  5. After that you probably still don't find your printer in the printer section
  6. If so - please open: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\HP\Photosmart Prem C410 series
  7. click on "Gerät hinzufügen"

  8. The re-install routine should start and then choose the type of your connection and then everything should be done by the (re-)install-routine.
  9. If some problems persist - please download further assistance tools from HP.COM like "HPPSdr.exe" or "hppiw.exe" - maybe they can help ... but better don't rely on this ... 
Good luck and have fun
