DESCRIPTION
Microsoft IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint... You can use IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint software to customize the features of the Microsoft mouse and keyboard. By using the software, you can reassign mouse buttons and keyboard keys to open a program, file, or Web page. Some keyboard models provide a fingerprint scanner for advanced identity management.

KITMOS  Although MS Keyboard works fine it requires that you also install MS Mouse software even though I’m not using their mouse. Very annoying.

(Unless that has changed with this version????)

BRENDAN MCKINLEY  I am not sure about previous versions, but with 7.1 at least if you select custom install you can deselect the mouse driver.

LOUNGE DELUXE  Still no 'snap to default button' option. All their Windows drivers support this option, why would MS think Mac users won't appreciate this option?

JAVAMAN  This update (7.1) as of the date of this comment only contains the IntelliPoint (mouse) drivers. I have a Microsoft keyboard and downloaded and installed this update. The Microsoft mouse driver updated to 7.1 but the keyboard driver (for which I downloaded the software) remained at 7.01. In other words, this NOT an IntelliType Pro update!

MISHA  This also includes the keyboard software at 7.1. If need be, right-click the "Microsoft Desktop" installer and choose "Show Package Contents". Inside is a folder called Packages, inside of that is Microsoft Keyboard -- run that.

XENOPHILE  WTF is Microsoft's problem with naming this driver? Their website says "IntelliPoint 7.01". The downloaded disk image is labeled as "Microsoft-Mouse-d260". Mount the disk image and within it is contained a file called "Microsoft Mouse Installer". The Finder's Get Info shows version 1.0.

I only installed the MS driver to see how it compared to my old workhorse, USB Overdrive. It worked well enough but I'll definitely be sticking with USB Overdrive.

FRANCIS  This version recognizes the Laser Mouse 6000, but there are 5 buttons on the mouse and the software only sees 4. I went back to an older 32 bit version, but it is a real pain to uninstall the new version once it is installed.

MARC OPAS  This broke the functionality of my Microsoft Optical Trackball on my Dual 2.0 G5 running 10.4.11. Can anyone help me find the last version of the software, or help me restore functionality? I can't stand not having buttons 4 & 5 for back and forward!
