DESCRIPTION
SteerMouse is an advanced driver for USB and Bluetooth mice. It also supports Apple Mighty Mouse very well.
SteerMouse can assign various functions to buttons that Apple's software does not allow, including double-clicks, modifier clicks, application switching, assignment of shortcut keys, "snap to" cursor movement, which moves the cursor to target (such as an OK button), and more.
SteerMouse lets you control the cursor's Sensitivity on top of the Tracking Speed. (Apple's software only allows adjustment for the Tracking Speed.) By adjusting both configurations, you can customize the ideal setting for the cursor to fit the movements of your hand.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 4.0.1:
Additions:
- Enhanced 'Automatic Moving'. Now recognizes more default buttons.
Bug Fixes:
- Problem solved where the modifier click would not work.
- Problem solved where configurations for each application would not work.
- Problem solved where installing older versions after uninstalling would not work.
- Problem solved where buttons on certain mice would not work.
- Problem solved where 'Expose & Dashboard' would not work properly when using the middle button.
- Problem solved with System Preferences where SteerMouse would not open.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.

LOUNGE DELUXE I agree, SteerMouse is a wonderful addition to (in my case) the Mighty Mouse, and above all customer support is excellent. I'm convinced SteerMouse will be updated soon for the Magic Mouse (if necessary at all?). Now how sweet would it be if the dev is able to program new finger gestures replacing the side buttons and the button under the scroll wheel of the Mighty Mouse!

MEGAMAN Overall, works ok. A bit bummed about some of the Logitech mice constantly requiring 'reconnection' to keep all buttons mapped. Also, since V4 my Mac won't wake from sleep (i.e. if I put it to sleep manually either by selecting sleep from drop-down menu or via sleep button on my keyboard) - forcing me to do a restart. Not happy about this so I've uninstalled it and now using USB Overdrive until this bug is fixed.

MACINTOSH90 I just found another setting that will be fitted for most everybody. Give it a try!

LEES I also had problems with new version. Really couldn't get anything to work right. Even at highest setting, the cursor was very slow. Also, couldn't get autoclose to work. I simply uninstalled and reinstalled the previous version, reset my values, and everything is fine again. I really didn't have any problems with the previous version. Sometimes, I guess it's best to leave well enough alone.

MISHA Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch?

MACINTOSH90 For those who still don't feel well about the tracking speed, Try 0.0375 of Tracking Speed and 100 or 80 of Sensitivity or something like this, you'll be fine!

ROBOTANK I suggest emailing your problem to the folks at Plentycom. I did with mine, and I got a response back very quickly asking for more information so they could track down the problem.

ROBOTANK I'm having a major issue with version 4.01. After upgrading, my mouse doesn't respond to left clicks about half of the time. This gets annoying really quick. I've emailed a bug report to the developer. SteerMouse is great, and I hope they're able to help me resolve this. I'm using a Logitech MX Revolution on Snow Leopard 10.6.1. Anyone else experience a similar issue?

ROBOTANK Well it turns out this issue has nothing to do with SteerMouse. After extensive troubleshooting, I realized the problem occurred even when SteerMouse wasn't installed, and it happened with the trackpad as well as the mouse. Something is wreaking havoc with my system, and I can't figure out what it is. Too many strange things are happening these days. I think it's about time for a wipe and clean install, which I should have done with Snow Leopard the first time. I'm sorry to initially pin this problem on SteerMouse, but it did start immediately after I installed 4.0.1. Some coincidence.

REDNAIL Awesome software. Has never caused me any issues at all. Using it with a Logitech Revolution MX, a great mouse with possibly the worst software ever. Why the big boys like Logitech and M$ can't make a driver half as good as this I will never understand. But thank god there is SteerMouse!

GILLES The problem I had with 10.6.1 is the wake computer When the computer was put to sleep, iMac 20" (2009) 2.66 with the power button, quickly push is that the computer did not wake from sleep, by moving the mouse, or touching a key on the keyboard I do not see this in the problem fixed with the new version 4.0.1 So I'll skip this update until it is confirmed this issue is resolved

LARRYMCJ For me, SteerMouse has always been the best of its class, and now that they've fixed the one minor annoyance I've had for three years, it's perfect! Now thepointer moves instantaneously to the default button instead of taking about a second or to to travel there. Thanks, Plentycom!

LONI I tried USB Overdrive with 10.6 but had problems with external keyboard volume and when running 2 displays (one display would dim out). SteerMouse seems to work very well. They got my $$$.

ROBOTANK I've always been happy with SteerMouse. I haven't tried USB Overdrive, so I can't make any comparison, but I would recommend SteerMouse to anyone without hesitation. Version 4.0 doesn't make huge changes, but it does add a couple of nice tweaks and fix a couple bugs. I wasn't having any issues with 3.9 on Snow Leopard, but people who are running the 64-bit kernel should now be able to use SteerMouse with it.
