MACMEND  I have just recently reinstalled this, with an old cordless trackman wheel. I am running 10.6.2 on an iMac and its fine in fact its better than fine, works perfectly with no issues.

Some of the issues found are related to USB software controllers and all the other USB software utilities seem to have them too

DLWHITE  I just purchased a Logitech Revolution Wireless Mouse (the one from a couple years ago that has better reviews than the newer models). But at Amazon, the consensus is that the drivers stink and to just run USB Overdrive, instead. (a shame, as I already own SteerMouse).

Reviews here are so overwhelmingly negative that I'm actually AFRAID to install the Logitech Control Center on my system! Isn't that CRAZY? These guys are the big leagues. I'd have thought they could at least sub-contract the work out to generate some solid code to run their (admittedly awesome) hardware.

ASRAI  and yet STILL no response, nor fix?!?!

Real comforting seeing how they can screw up the graphical function of an application that has nothing to do w/ their 'Control' utility.

Great job Logitech; now how about putting at least one coder on getting this rectified?!?

MACNERD1984  Poor. Now my scroll wheel button doesn't work and scrolling is ridiculously fast yet won't allow me to slow it down. loading of the System Preferences is slow now too, amnd LCC shows 2 mice to configure, identical. Yet again, this mob couldn't organise a booze up in a brewery. They're a Windows centric company who just happen to like a little extra on the side from mac users whilst providing half arsed, shabby driver software. If it didn't make me want to gag I'd buy a M$ mouse instead.

ETJ  Ids anyone else seeing the following error from this Logitech driver in their Console messages:

Initializer-based scripting additions have been deprecated and are not supported in 64-bit processes. "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader.osax" not loaded

ANOMIA  This is unacceptable...

I'm on a iMac core 2 Duo 2.16mhz with 10.4.11, and I was running ver.3.0 which was acceptable.

THIS 3.1 version however, ground my machine to halt with spotty keyboard and mouse behaviour - and countless other app weirdnesses.

I know this control panel has a spotty history - fix it better than this, really it's sad you made it even worse!

JOSDANS  This control panel totally freaks out the mouse. I have to use it without any Logtiech control panel. It's a pitty because then you cant configure the different buttons.

MEGAMAN  3.1 screws my Tabs in Safari so I can't tell which tab I'm in.

COME ON LOGITECH!

What's it gonna take for this company to take writing software for its product seriously? I mean really. I've been using Logitech mice and keyboards for eons and cannot remember a time where their software wasn't getting canned by consumers.

All these years later and it's the same old story.

Says allot about how much Logitech listens to its customers.

ANDREAS J. MUHR  I have the same problem. LCC 3.1 screws up the display of my Safari Tabs. Sometimes even makes the Safari menu bar entries disappear.

FVDG  For some reason it screws up the way tabs are drawn in Safari, they all have the same grey color until you click on one, it is hard to see which tab it is you are viewing (I'm in 64 mode, kernel)

****.

KERNELG  I had been using USB Overdrive with my Logitech MX1000 for years. My various experiences with LCC were very bad: It didn't recognize all the buttons on the mouse, it relied on haxies, it was not updated for serious bugs for long periods of time. But with the recent update for Snow Leopard, USB Overdrive (and Steermouse) does not support all of the buttons on several Logitech models. A fix is promised to come soon, and while I love USB Overdrive, promised features can take years to materialize, if they ever do. Some people are also saying that setup is even more convoluted than before (try adjusting tracking speed on 20 app profiles with 2 pop-up menus each). So in the mean time, I decided to give the free LCC 3.1 a try. I took some screenshots and notes of my USB Overdrive settings then used it's own uninstaller to remove it completely.

The LCC install went smoothly and after a restart, it recognized my MX1000 with no problems. I immediately notice that tracking is a little smoother. I also notice that vertical scrolling is extremely slow and/or high resolution. Better yet, tracking speed is a universal setting and not per-application. Scrolling, however, is per-app and even on the fastest setting is still slow for some. Tweetie, for example, scrolls slower on the full setting than USB Overdrive ever did. But I'm already getting used to this.

LCC's only other drawback is that there is no application profile overlap or punch through. I cannot, for example, make a profile for iTunes and reassign only the mouse thumb buttons perform keystrokes Command-[ and Command-] for back and forward, but use my global settings for everything else. In fact, I can't find a way to even copy my global settings into a new profile to at least have a common starting point. I tried using the "nothing" assignment in the pop-up menus for other buttons, but that just made them do, indeed, nothing. I'd love to know if I'm just missing the obvious here.

On the positive side, LCC 3.1 has fixed a few problems I was having with USB Overdrive and had mistakenly attributed to the mouse. The "back" thumb button was frequently registering two clicks when I'd hit it once. Tracking was very jerky in World of Warcraft when moving the camera quickly. Horizontal scrolling was more of a horizontal 10-pixel nudge, with no auto-repeat or acceleration. I couldn't assign anything to keys F16 through F19 because these were apparently new science. All of this is now history with LCC, and I'm loving that my aging MX1000, for which there is no modern equal, may still have a couple of years left in it.

I see that all is not well in comments here, and on Logitech's own forum. As I said above, I made sure to fully uninstall USB Overdrive before installing LCC, and I don't think I had any previous LCC preferences on this machine for the new version to pick up. I'm running a Mac Pro 3,1 (Early 2008) 8-core with OS X 10.6.1. There are no other input drivers running. LCC 3.1 is rocking here. For free!
