Terrific time-saver! It's beyond me why Apple doesn't build this function into the OS.

Try it you'll have to have it.

Best little application that saves bunches of time. Consider how much time you use just moving up to the start button, ALL start buttons, continue buttons, submit buttons, and try to figure out the amount of time you save when the cursor does it for you! C'mon... it ain't that hard! I finally had a funeral for my Mac, bought a new one, and because my back-up system wasn't the best, it missed a few things. It took me a week to figure it out. I knew something was different. Everything was taking longer. And then I GOT IT! My Lazy Mouse! So I downloaded it once again, and now I feel like I'm all better! LOL. Seriously, I can't do without it, and neither should you! You don't need instructions or tech support, either, because nothing ever goes wrong. It's a winner. Mommosan

But this particular version no longer "snaps" the cursor; instead there's sometimes a wait of up to 20 seconds--which, obviously is not in any way useful.

LazyMouse CommentaryHandy....... but....... - Version: 2.0.2, 8/25/2007 12:38AM PST

This can be quite handy. I used to have this for OS 8 Classic but then it was free. It is not worth the price for me personally. I will have to learn to do without.

LazyMouse ReviewNew solution to a new problem - Version: 1.1.3, 7/30/2007 11:13PM PST

The shareware CursorZoom let you change cursor size - but also made the cursor automatically return to the dialog box after an operation. This was a precursor to what LazyMouse now does. The Mac OS has recently incorporated this feature into the system, but for some reason decoded not to keep its unheralded feature.

LazyMouse performs the task efficiently. Although most users will use the Apple keys for this (still the best option), there are times when it's convenient to have the cursor right near the dialog box nearby. In fact, it can be addictive.

CursorZoom had a couple of advantages: it was free, and the cursor would "zoom" across the screen to the dialog box. This "animation" would bring attention tot he location of the cursor. LazyMouse is a little more basic, but does the same basic job. Of course, the mouse won't move when confronted with flash-type dialog boxes, or certain installers. It's the kind of small application you wouldn't think you needed - until you're without it.

I've missed a "jump to default" utility ever since MouseWorks abandoned this function as of OS X. I've bugged Kensington to death about this to no avail. So I was thrilled to find LazyMouse. It works great and I haven't noticed any side effects. THANKS LAZY MOUSE for providing a sorely-missed utility.

LazyMouse ReviewMixed Feelings - Version: 1.1.2, 8/20/2006 05:01PM PST

It certain does what it says simply and well. But personally I found $7 a bit much for the one trick, especially since hitting return does the same thing.

BUT... I see that it has really helped some people, so I don't want to be too negative. I guess it's a 'try it and see if it helps you' sort of app.
