Anybody have a mouse they want to work better? I have a MS Trackball Explorer, and I love it......now. Microsoft has been slow to deliver an OSX driver for it, but now, thanks to Alessandro Levi Montalcini there is an anwser. It's a universal USB mouse driver (and soon to work on game pads also). This program works awesome, even though it's still in beta. A little pricey at $20, but head on over to usboverdrive.com and give it a try. Really really awesome work.

Anything but Pricey
I disagree that USB Overdrive is pricey. This is software, which when it completes its migration from OS9 to OSX, will control virtually *any* input device.
USB Overdrive software
I've been using my Kennsington trackball with the dual USB iBook for many months using OS9. I finally made the shift to OSX and couldn't use many features that i'd grown accustomed to.
OS X even works w/Japanese mouse!
I was in Akibahara for Christmas vacation and bought a tiny optical mouse, with two buttons and a scroll wheel, for my PowerBook G3 Firewire. The label was almost all in Japanese, but it did include a little "Mac OS X 10.1" label, so I bought it (about $30). The brand is Elecom, and it's translucent blue with a bright blue LED inside the mouse! Talk about snazzy!
USB Overdrive ROCKS!
As a left-hander, USB Overdrive is necessary software for both OS 9 and OS X. Under OS X, it's the only program that will allow me to reverse the mouse buttons so a left-click is under my index finger. |
