Mac mouse help! argh!!

Post by gb »

Anyone know where to find mouse preferences on a mac other than in the system preferences? For some reason, when I click on menus they don't stay open unless I hold down the mouse button... anyone know how to fix this? I'm using 10.5.6... thanks!

SteerMouse is what you want: http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/

The OS X mouse drivers are horrid for any decent pointing device (not the "mighty" mouse).

Actually I re-read your post and steermouse my not actually fix your problem. Worth a try through - it will give you much better control.

Anyway, I don't have a Mac at work so I can't check but have a look in the Universal Access preferences.

yeah, tell me about it. And as soon as I asked the producer (who knows macs back to front) if he had seen this before BAM! - issue gone. :roll: typical!

macs = "user friendly"?

your mac = not user friendly

therefore your 'mac' is not a mac


ive never had an annoying problem like that which would prompt me to want to format+reinstall osx. reinstalling = pc annoyance

refund imo
