Then i edited in /Library/Preferences adding new string into hid devices containing mac address of my mouse (you will have to change permissions to be able to edit this file - fortunately its easy in leopard)ģ. Then i tried to cancel pair process in the middle - mouse then appeared for few seconds in Bluetooth PrefPaneĢ.
BUY STEERMOUSE DRIVERS
First I installed MS Drivers and tried to pair it normally but it didn't work (the old solution also did not work). I've managed to pair Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 with Leopard.ġ.
Some one will probably look for solution: I have a Logitech V270 that lives in my computer bag for that. I just couldn't get myself to get the MX Revolution, which I thought was more overpriced that this one.ītw, this is not my travel mouse. I have a problem with spending heaps of $ on a mouse, which made this a major purchase for me. This delay is exactly the same as the one affecting my Apple wireless keyboard.Įxtra buttons are in the wrong place, IMHO. Takes several seconds to wake from sleep (i have set my computer to not wake up to Bluetooth commands because I found that contributed to the computer waking up in my bag). To be honest, the only thing I've noticed about the "laser" is that there isn't a red light under the mouse. Also the connection is so far more secure, although that was partly because the MX500 was many years old (got it when they were first released). Having the mouse horizontal looks neater. I actually like the charging dock, compared to the Logitech MX500. So, unfortunately I don't benefit from that. However, I already use the extra buttons for "expose", "expose application", and "expose desktop". Which is a "payware" feature of USB overdrive (and maybe Steermouse). To be fair though, Intellipoint does allow customisation of the buttons, by application. I have mine to "performance +" as opposed to "battery +". It's just like Microsoft, to have a "performance slider" for a mouse. It's not unusable - just highly irritating in small amounts. Or isn't responsive, then overcompensates milliseconds later. It doesn't "slow down" during fine movements. Unfortunately without Intellipoint, the mouse pointer acceleration is off. I didn't need Logitech software for the MX500.
BUY STEERMOUSE INSTALL
I was hoping to not have to install Intellipoint, and just use the extra buttons for Expose.
I didn't need to install Intellipoint 6.2.1 for my MacBook Pro Rev A to sync it. This mouse was cheaper than the MX Revolution. Aside from the fact that the MX500 was falling apart, one of the reasons I got a BT mouse was because I have so many USB things hanging off my MacBook Pro USB port (I reserve the other USB port for flash disks, unfortunately), that sometimes the MX500 would jitter and stop registering clicks. In fact I have been through 2 MX500 mice through the years. I got this to replace the Logitech MX500.
