SteerMouse driver for Mighty Mouse
Gee, that didn't take long! A mere 10 days after Apple released their new Mighty Mouse, Plentycom Systems has released a driver that adds a bunch of functions that Apple neglected to include in their own driver.
SteerMouse allows you to assign and customize various functions to the Mighty Mouse's "buttons", such as speed, cursor acceleration, shortcut keys, scrolling, double-click, right-click and "snap to" cursor movement, which moves the cursor to whatever dialog button is active (like "ok."). It works with other USB mice as well, with support for horizontal scrolling and up to 8 buttons!
You'll need Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (with plans to support Intel Macs in the future) to install it and it requires you to uninstall any third-party mouse drivers you may already be using. Apple's mouse driver does not need to be uninstalled, however.
SteerMouse will cost you $20, which sounds steep for a mouse driver. Then again, USB Overdrive is also $20 and it doesn't yet support the Mighty Mouse, so this one may be worth a try. There's a 30 day trial before you have to register it. What I really want to know, though, is how it got to be at version 2.0 already?
Take it for a spin and let us know how you like it.
