Don't bother with LazyMouse if you're on Lion. Sometimes the cursor moves like it should, and sometimes (well... often) it doesn't. Which, imo, makes this application useless. I reported this to the developer shortly after the release of Lion, but as this app still hasn't been updated (how hard can it be...) it looks like they don't have any intention to support Lion.

It's a shame. I liked LazyMouse before I upgraded to Lion.

Since one hand is by the keyboard you could just hit return or enter and save yourself $10 and yet another piece of software usurping memory and system resources.

Each to their own I suppose.

What part of "Lazy" wasn't clear to you?

LazyMouse is kind of a misnomer really. i would say it’s more smart than it is lazy. and since it works with a trackpad as well as a mouse… SmartSnap is more a name to give you an idea of what it is.

but then it would be kinda dumb and silly to mess with an already established name for this app. so… then ULazySillyStupidSmartMouseMotherSnapper, YOU!!!

There is a rumor that OS X 10.7 will have this by default.
You can see this behavior on some Lion demo's.

very nice to hear indeed. without a doubt this technology should be built into the OS, especially with all the big iMac screens.

Hi Spike-James,
I'd be curious to know where you've seen this rumor. I can't find a mention of it online, and it doesn't seem to be in any of the walkthroughs available on youtube that I've found.

I had to wait until after Lion was released to avoid breaking NDA, but it's plain to see now that Lion doesn't add this feature. LazyMouse is still useful to Lion users.

Well, how LAZY can one get!

Na, just kidding.

I had this when it first came out but some how lost the LAZY mouse when i went iMac intel. Glad Macupdate reviewed this app. For LAZY me it is a great add on.

LazyMouse is the kind of application that's such a natural that it should be part of the OS. iMac screens are getting so huge that finding your way to a dialog box can be a trial. If an action needs to be completed, LazyMouse automatically moves the cursor right to where it needs to be. This probably isn't necessary with a MacBook for iPad, but it would seem to be a natural for the new 27" iMacs.

One thing I know: once you start using it, there's no going back.

It might seem pointless at first but try it you will be surprised how quickly it becomes so you can't live without it...it should be a core feature of OSX actually. 9 times out of 10 if a dialogue box presents and grabs focus I am gonna move the cursor to it anyway.

Since I installed Lion the LazyMouse in System preferences doesn't except tick for "Whenever a new window appears, snap the cursor to the.."(the ball is spinning all the time). So I can't use this option. Need help.

One of my favs, but no Lion support. If you can't live without it, wait until the dev. updates.

you won't believe this but lazymouse makes labeling a new group in addressbook impossible!
Took me four months to figure out what was wrong with addressbook. Today, by coincidence i found out lazymouse is the cause! Damn damn damn! Never expected this.
Tested it on my other macs with OSX 10.6.2 & 10.6.3. Only confirmation.

Hi Boni,

LazyMouse 2.2.1 deals with the problem with Address Book, which appears to have happened with Snow Leopard. I'm sorry it took so long to address it.
