Mon, 09 Jan 2006 20:11:39 +0000 <p>As an experiment I have begun using my <a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2135,CONTENTID=9043">Logitech MX1000 mouse</a> with the PowerBook. Since I got the PowerBook I've been using the trackpad which, unlike any trackpad before it, I have found very useful. But I kept looking at the (expensive) mouse sat there unused all this time and thought it was a waste. It's a good mouse and maybe all those extra buttons could be handy...</p> <p>So I find that the basic mouse function fine but, without Logitech specific drivers, most of the extra buttons do funky things that, by and large, you'd rather they didn't do. The only solution appears to be to install the <a href="http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/US/EN,CRID=1792,contentid=9409,OSID=9">Logitech Control Centre for MacOSX</a>.</p> <p>My Mac has been working pretty well thus far and I think that this is, in part, because I have not installed any significant system affecting products from big vendors. In my experience Big Vendor system software is often a festering pile of crap made without a care for the users system. On Windows Logitech drivers and software were flawless but My Mac works good and I want to keep it that way.</p> <p>Does anyone have any experience they can share about using LCC on MacOSX Tiger? Am I being paranoid? Or should I steer well clear?</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00003163.html
