Apple's Magic Mouse anyone? - Version: 4.0.1, 11/4/2009 10:37AM PST
MacHound
I didn't purchase a Magic Mouse yet. Does anyone care to comment on how well SteerMouse works with Apple's Magic Mouse?
It works with effort

I've been using Steermouse with Logitech mice for a couple of years. It works well with one mouse. It is a pain to program the buttons for most mice. Occasionally I want to use a different mouse. steermouse does not recognize that a new mouse is being used so it tries to use the settings from the previous mouse. The settings must be changed everytime I switch a mouse. I would give Steermouse 5 stars if programing were much easier and If it would allow me to switch mice without having to do the settings all over again.

I've been dabbling with several replacements for Kensington's antiquated driver for the ExpertMouse. Steermouse is what I've settled upon, because it just works.

Overall, this software works well.
However, since version 4, if I put my Mac to sleep manually, SteerMouse won't let it wake up. I am forced to restart my computer.

Doesn't scroll correctly with Targus Mouse - Version: 4.0.1, 9/29/2009 08:06AM PST

I already bought and tried Smart Scroll and that one doesn't work either.
I like the mouse, but no driver works correctly yet.
The Apple Mighty Mouse has 360 degree scrolling as doesn't the track pad, but nothing works with the Targus yet.
It can scroll up and down OR left and right, but not both. There is no diagonal scroll.
I hate the scroll ball on the Mighty Mouse and the way the right and left clicks work.
The Targus Mouse is a much better design if someone could just get the drivers working.

Automatic cursor moving - Version: 4.0, 9/25/2009 09:22AM PST

If you want to use the Automatic Moving feature for the cursor (very useful if you have a big screen or want to reduce trackpad fingering), you need to set the checkbox for "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access preferences pane.

You should really check out Smart Scroll: (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21186)
It also has iPhone gliding and Hover scrolling. Apple should by it and make it part of the OS.

I'm kicking myself because this version has been out for a year and a half and it took me until today to find it.
I've been using a Kensington Expert Mouse, which I love. The Kensington Mouseworks software, however, destroys some functionality of Leopard and has been a thorn in my side since the release of Leopard.
Steermouse restores all the features of Leopard without the glitches of Mouseworks. My only complaint is that Steermouse doesn't handle chording of buttons. Perhaps in another version?

Works great with the Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse - Version: 3.9, 8/10/2009 06:27PM PST

I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a Bluetooth mouse for my MacBook Pro. Logitech no longer makes a full-sized Bluetooth mouse and Apple's Mighty Mouse can be a bit pricey and less than ideal for many users in terms of its design.
Then I found a full-sized Bluetooth mouse from Rocketfish. It's similar in appearance and size to the Mighty Mouse and is much more affordable, but unlike the Apple mouse, it has a standard scroll wheel with left and right scrolling integrated instead of a ball. The hitch? The included software does not allow you to program the scroll wheel button. I like to program my scroll wheel button with the Command-H keystroke so that I can hide windows without taking my hand off the mouse.
A search turned up this SteerMouse software. It works as a preference pane and has plenty of features to program every little aspect of your mouse's functionality. I was able to program my keystroke easily.
At twenty dollars US, it's a bit pricey for what it does for my personal needs, but it is a very comprehensive, solid, feature-rich shareware program that deserves to be taken seriously as a replacement for anyone's mouse utility.
