 Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 1:32 pm Post subject: mouse driver |
 |
|
I have a handicap mouse (the mouse fell on the floor and the left click button isnt working) so i redefined the configuration. On my pc i had no problem altering it in the intelli mouse driver and i seem to have the same options in the intelli mouse driver for apple but it seems the intelli mouse driver isnt enforcing the configuration.
What should i do? |

Honestly, go buy a new one.
The mouse I'm using right now is a simple Logitech Optical that was only $5 after rebates. $15-$10 mail-in rebate. It's light, comfortable, and like I said, simple. It's a 2 button + scroll mouse and that's all I need.

| but surely if you can install the microsoft driver and select a new configuration it (the configuration) should decide what button does what not the keyboard & mouse thing thats already on the computer right? |

I would assume, otherwise, what would be the point of the driver?

I'd talk to a mental health therapist... then buy a new mouse.  |

First I laugh at this. And then I suggest a new mouse, also. Why would you want to go with just one mouse button, which is how I assume you have it set up?
There seem to be a lot of problems with using Microsoft mice on Macs, color me suprised, so I would recommend just buying a non-Microsoft mouse that would come with better driver support and non-crippled hardware.

That's not good for ergonomics, you're gonna hurt your hand after awhile from having your hand bent over the mouse like that.

Don't feel bad Dynamic! I have a hard time adjusting to new keyboards and mice. I've had the same set for three years. I dread the day it breaks down on me!
