So 6.9MB for Mouse&Keyboard drivers? WOW. Do you think Simple devices should even need drivers? I don't. Preference panes installed? Yuk.. can't they make use of Apple's OHC controllers? Nope, that would be too easy, instead your left with yet another startup item, pref panel to slow or glitch your system. Micro$oft has no doubt and continues to take your money,and therefor never will truly die, but I say it's sooo 80's.

Yes, really. - sonicraft
The intellimouse software allows you to program specific functions to all button & wheel functions -- AND you can make customized sets of those functions for each program that you are in. That is more than a simple input device will do. And it is critical for those of us who are doing very tedious mouse-intensive work.As much as I would love to find a different mouse, so far this one is it.

Drivers? Really? - Adam9
My Microsoft keyboard has 24 keys and a slide wheel that my apple keyboard does not have. Thankfully, they have released these drivers so that those keys actually do something. Please don't review software you haven't used.Reply to This
