I couldn’t assign anything to keys F16 through F19 because these were apparently new science. Horizontal scrolling was more of a horizontal 10-pixel nudge, with no auto-repeat or acceleration. Tracking was very jerky in World of Warcraft when moving the camera quickly. The “back” thumb button was frequently registering two clicks when I’d hit it once. On the positive side, LCC 3.1 has fixed a few problems I was having with USB Overdrive and had mistakenly attributed to the mouse. I’d love to know if I’m just missing the obvious here. I tried using the “nothing” assignment in the pop-up menus for other buttons, but that just made them do, indeed, nothing. In fact, I can’t find a way to even copy my global settings into a new profile to at least have a common starting point. I cannot, for example, make a profile for iTunes and reassign only the mouse thumb buttons perform keystrokes Command- for back and forward, but use my global settings for everything else. LCC’s only other drawback is that there is no application profile overlap or punch through. Tweetie, for example, scrolls slower on the full setting than USB Overdrive ever did. Scrolling, however, is per-app and even on the fastest setting is still slow for some. Better yet, tracking speed is a universal setting and not per-application. I also notice that vertical scrolling is extremely slow and/or high resolution. I immediately notice that tracking is a little smoother. The LCC install went smoothly and after a restart, it recognized my MX1000 with no problems. I took some screenshots and notes of my USB Overdrive settings then used it’s own uninstaller to remove it completely. So in the mean time, I decided to give the free LCC 3.1 a try. Some people are also saying that setup is even more convoluted than before (try adjusting tracking speed on 20 app profiles with 2 pop-up menus each). A fix is promised to come soon, and while I love USB Overdrive, promised features can take years to materialize, if they ever do. LCC was always pretty terrible, and a previous version didn’t even recognize all the buttons on my MX1000 (on their own mouse!).īut with the recent update for Snow Leopard, USB Overdrive (and Steermouse) does not support all of the buttons on several Logitech models. USB Overdrive has been a mainstay on my Macs for a long time, from Microsoft’s first laser mouse to my current Logitech multi-button monster.
