I had been using a Logitech mouse but it died on me. If it doesn't have that feature then ignore it as an option. The Razer Death Adder did not suit me - not quite the right shape and if it had configurable dpi then I failed to find out how to drive it properly. Changing batteries takes only a few seconds but is a nuisance I'd rather avoid). 9 which is very configurable to fit my hand nicely, but it looks ugly and it needs a battery change at least every day (there is a spare battery supplied and a charger. If you can't switch between these two very easily then it will drive you crazy.
The lower dpi will be wanted for normal navigation around the screen and the high dpi will slow the cursor right down for precise positioning when editing or setting anchor points. Get a mouse that has a button to switch back and forth between low dpi and high dpi. MX570 trackball w/ OSX 'Steermouse' software
Leave the Xerox PARC ergonomics back in 1974. Much better than an old school thick pad IMHO. They have an adhesive backing, but I just lay mine on the desk with the corner of my keyboard on it, and it holds still just fine for me. I got this one:Īctually two, but they are barely thicker than a sheet of paper, and the mouse flows smoothly and accurately on it. While you are at it, consider your mouse pad as well. +1 for the Razer Death Adder! Not only is is a great mouse that is very precise and comfortable, it also has a kick ass name! Using it on a Mac, OS 10.9, customizing buttons with USB Overdrive, editing in LR. But of course, your own mileage may vary.I have the magic mouse, and the magic track pad USB Overdrive makes this kind of setup possible and is quite useful in practice. I still have eight button combinations free for other functionalities, but I've found that Exposé is for me by far the most important functionality to have directly on the mouse. Neat, isn't it? While I'm leaving the left button alone, the remaining three buttons now invoke the three Exposé functions and Dashboard (using three buttons without and one with the right button held down).
For the now just four remaining buttons I now have four combinations each, however, and more: After enabling it in the Universal Access control panel and now being assigned to the right button, I can simply hold the right button and the scroll wheel will now zoom in and out. That means that I need to first press the right button and then the left button in addition (chord clicking, in a way) to get a context menu which sounds odd at first but which is actually easy to get used to. In the same vein, I changed the right mouse button to just key functionality. So at least in theory you now have one action button less (because the scroll wheel now only activates the key) but for the remaining buttons (five with my mouse) you now have two combinations each (with and without ). Since the scroll wheel button is now a modifier key, all other mouse buttons can now be combined with the scroll wheel button. Very neat and quite intuitive two-dimensional scrolling with just one scroll wheel! It doesn't stop there, though. That is where the scroll wheel's button comes in handy: I've assigned the scroll wheel button to the key, so without pressure the scroll wheel still goes up and down, but when I hold it down it goes left and right instead. You may have noticed that the scroll wheel normally can only scroll vertically, but you can hold the key to make the scroll wheel go horizontally instead. Not trying to spam, but since this thread matches my previous post a lot better, maybe some people might draw some ideas from it here: I'm using USB Overdrive to fully exploit the six-button Logitech mouse I'm using. I don't think they have changed that driver in a LONG time. The keyboard works! Then I loaded USB Overdrive and custom configured my mouse. What did I do? I figured out that I can remap the control, option, and command keys and I unloaded the LCC. On the Mac, I can't live without a command key. So, I had a really advanced mouse that was acting like a mighty mouse and I couldn't get rid of the LCC because of the keyboard. It wouldn't work however because the Logitech Driver recognized that it was a logitech mouse and wouldn't give control of it to any other driver. Found out that the G5 isn't supported by their driver at all, so I turned to USB Overdrive like you did. So I loaded the LCC and the keyboard all of a sudden worked, but the mouse still didn't at all. Hooked them both up to the mac and the mouse worked, but none of the buttons and the command key on the keyboard didn't work at all. I have a logitech elite keyboard and G5 mouse.
