I've seen some very odd behaviour from logitech wireless receivers recently. I have an MX Performance and T650 touchpad runnign from the same unifying receiver. I've also got a G602 mouse on its own receiver which only a few days ago when plugged into another usb port demanded the pc be restarted before it could function. My Logitech K810 keyboard also dropped off the system,Hi,
today I see that there was a new Firmware for the T500RS V.42. I have updated it but I encounterd some big problems. After the firmware updater finished all my usb port where f***** up. My logitech keyboard and mouse doesnt worked anymore. I had to restart my computer after that everything worked fine. But after driving with my T500RS the problem showed up once again. To solve the problem i have done a downgrade to V.41. Now everything is working as normal.
Are there some known issues with the newest firmware? Or can someone explain what happend really strange...
I also updated drivers first, firmware second. Not that it SHOULD matter but I didnt have any issues this way.I have updated both the drivers(first) then the firmware without any issues, all my usb are working fine.
I have my T500 to a usb2 rather a usb3 port as I had some strange problems when I had bought it and installed it in to my pc in to a usb3 port.
Good to hear. Maybe if others are determined to update they should do it your way. Nearly had a Sean Coronary (the Scottish version of a heart attack) when the update failed. Thank god for the V37 onboard bootloader backup or I'd be down a wheel and back to making engine noises on public transport to compensate for the loss of my race addiction.I also updated drivers first, firmware second.

That sounds very much like a usb resource/power issue. Its possible whatever thrustmaster did with the firmware may be causing an increased power draw.Keyboard is a G510 and Mouse is a G9x all wired...
I have downloaded the new update. First deinstalled the old and then installed the new one. After that i have rebooted my system and installed the new firmware with the updater. Everything worked fine during the update process. At the end the updater give me the information that everything is done and ok. Then the wheel recalibrate it self like it should but than comes the problem after the calibration.
My usb goes crazy my mouse and keyboard go on and off (you also hear multiples times the usb sound from windows). When i unplugged the usb devices and then plugged it in it doenst work anymore and i have to reboot my system. After that everything is working as it should.
I thought everything was okay tested rFactor 2 and drove some laps. But after leaving track (rFactor 2) the same problem showed up with the usb. I also tested some other games and the problem showed up at random points after downgrade everything is working without a problem.
It is really strange, The crazy thing is that Windows nothing log when the problem showed up about a usb problem. I also deinstalled the Usbdriver and reinstalled them. Really strange... I have no clue and i am very tenical advanced user.
Just 2 days ago I received the USB 3.0 version of that hub you bought. I ran it last night with the T500rs (before & after I bricked and unbricked the wheel) and its been running perfectly. Love the rubberised finish, build quality, low profile and the switches are great to ensure unnecessary devices causing draw or conflicts can be disabled. Had to look long and hard to find a seller. A good quality USB hub is often better than some onboard USB ports. I bought mine from these guys.I've seen a lot of posts about USB hubs being the devil when it comes to using a wheel but its my opinion that a properly powered USB hub shouldn't be an issue, in fact, it might even help if you have problems with your USB ports not providing enough power for your devices. When it comes to wheels though, I don't think the USB port is providing any power to the wheel, its just sending and receiving the signal to and from the wheel as to what is going on. The wheel has an external power source.
There are cheap USB hubs that don't have much power and can cause problems and there are quality hubs that have enough power to run multiple devices without any issue. I had been avoiding a USB hub for my wheel for 6 months and I finally decided I would try one so that I'm only using one USB connection on my PC and to my surprise after hearing so much talk about how hubs and wheels don't play well together, I've had no issues with this hub. Its worked flawlessly for the last month and a half, even during the update process.

And FWIW, I've used the front USB ports on my case with my T500RS plenty of times on my HTPC and never had any issues there either although I've often heard people complain that you can't use those ports with a wheel. I've never understood that but I suppose some people have had issues, likely depends on the motherboard being used more than anything else.

Word of warning to others reading this. TM state DO NOT ATTACH THE WHEEL TO A USB HUB TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE. Its not them being picky. Connect directly to a USB 2.0 port if you have one.
You are having the 1:1 issue as I am. How do you downgrade the firmware?Hi,

Do you have useful link for that piece of software?I am not alone You need the 2013_TTRS_2.exe (When Thrustmaster has no download you can google it or i can upload it for you). When you start it will automatically deinstall the new version. Then execute it a second time and it will install the the old version inclusive the V.41. Then run the Firmwareupdater and you should see that your wheel has V.42 and that you now choose V.41. Run it and everything is working.
