ost the functionality that Mouseworks had to program complex strings with modifier keys (e.g., copy-find-paste with one chord). Dealbreaker for me (which is why overall rating is lower than average compared to individual ratings), and having installed it once on 10.6.8 the Mouseworks driver won't work anymore. Thanks Kensington. Pwople did complain about MW not having been updated or improved for years, but would it have been so tough to retain even the same functionality by moving it to 64 bit?

Wow...so now I can't change button functionality based on application anymore? Gee, thanks Kensington; way to stay in touch with your userbase.

To clarify: in previous versions (MouseWorks 3.x) one could change settings based on application, so that one could, say, have button 3+4 trigger the "Back" command in a webbrowser, but use the same combo for "Info" or "Move to trash" in the Finder. Needless to say that this is/was very nice.

In terms of functionality, there doesn't seem to be anything new. A Lion-friendly version, maybe?

Well, at least one thing I found is that the scrolling is different. They've adjusted the scrolling speed in a helpful way and they've included an "Inertial Scrolling" option.

Yeah, but the Inertial Scrolling doesn't seem to do very much for me. I don't think we should toss SmartScroll just yet.

I agree, the scrolling works better. It starts slowly, enabling finer control, and works more smoothly. Inertial scrolling seems to work only when you "flick" the scroll wheel/ring. Another important change is that it is now 64 bit - it no longer requires System Preferences to restart in 32 bit mode - which could have something to do with the improved performance. And the Snap To Default now works in Lion. However, it's still a Universal app that retains some backwards compatibility.

Nothing new (except, as you note, the scrolling) but a whole lot less. No keystroke sequences (text or single keystrokes only). Show stopper for me.

Very nice the drivers work fine. I have 2 Expert mice and one Expert Mouse Pro. The Expert Mouse Pro is no longer made by Kensington and it is sad that it is useless for the Mac as it has 5 buttons that can be configured for applications or web sites.I believe that it is still useful on Windows but I don't use Windows.I guess I'll have to list it on eBay.
