Product Description:

The USB Overdrive is a device driver for Mac OS X that handles any USB mouse / trackball / joystick / gamepad / media keyboard and any Bluetooth mouse from any manufacturer and lets you configure them either globally or on a per-application, per-device basis.

It reads all kinds of wheels, buttons, switches and controls and assigns them to useful actions like clicking, typing, scrolling, launching, opening documents and so forth. The USB Overdrive can easily handle several USB devices at once and can assign different settings to each one.

The new version is smarter, faster, more powerful and easier to use. It supports the new 64-bit kernel in Snow Leopard and comes with a much better user interface. The USB Overdrive now includes support for media buttons on most USB keyboards and talks to many additional input devices that were previously not handled.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed some user interface mistakes
  • Added support for media buttons on Logitech keyboards
  • Restored support for scroll buttons on various Logitech mice
  • Restored specific support for Logitech G5 and MX518
  • Fixed freewheel scrolling for Logitech mice that have it
  • Restored specific support for the Griffin PowerMate
  • Added specific support for the Kensington SlimBlade Trackball
  • Added specific support for the World of Warcraft gaming mouse
  • Restored left-handed configuration of the Wireless Mighty Mouse
  • Relaxed HID compliance requirements to better support bad devices

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

USB Overdrive ReviewDoesn't support 'Carbon CFM' Apps - Version: 3.0.1, 12/31/2009 09:23PM PST

In X.6.2, won't work with plenty of legacy games as a result. Previous version (10.4.8) works fine (but it's not 64-bit). Logitech Control Centre also works fine, and now supports multiple apps (when it didn't, overdrive was a life saver). Unfortunately, developer does not respond to several detailed e-mails on the issue.

I gave USB Overdrive another try, despite difficulties in the past, because others speak so highly of it. This time it worked exactly as intended. However, I soon realized that my volume keys and eject key no longer worked. After uninstalling USB Overdrive, my keyboard resumed acting normally.
