"THE BEST interface utility EVER"
Version: BetterTouchTool 0.749
Pros
This utility is one of the best reasons to have a Mac! Unbelievable feature set. Makes me less frustrated using my computer and saves me 1- a lot of extra mousing and clicking, 2- a lot of extra trips to the keyboard.
Cons
Occasionally the shortcuts stop working. Just have to restart it from the menu bar.
Summary
Very much worth donating for. (I did!)

"Didn't work for me"
Version: BetterTouchTool 0.628
Pros
MacPro 10.6.5 Got the windows 7 option, clicked no and the application wouldn't run after that - shame - so full of promise
Cons
Doesn't work under 10.6.5
Summary
I would love to like it because of its comprehensive nature but until it actually works I can't comment further.

"Cool features; could improve a bit"
Version: BetterTouchTool 0.628
Pros
Excellent added functionality to regular mouse performance
Cons
Lacks a "1-touch sensitivity" control. Could be too sensitive and perform undesired actions
-
"Very useful!"
Version: BetterTouchTool 0.628
Pros
-Works on older Macs that don't have multitouch trackpads
-The 'snap to' screen functions make working on a laptop more confortable than otherwise.Cons
-Limited (understandable) support for non-multitouch trackpads (but not a huge problem)
Summary
I'm hoping the developer has enough funds to finish this project. Interface modifications such as this can greatly enhance productivity!

"So new, and already indispensable"
Version: BetterTouchTool 0.521
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This cam as the perfect addition to my magic mouse, and gives the mouse features like the missing "middle click", but also allows pinching on the mouse surface to zoom (there really shouldn't be any behavioral difference between mouse and trackpad!).
But what's best: the author is super active and responsive to new suggestion, so the tool's capabilities are growing with each version. Latest addition is the "keyboard commands" section which lets yo trigger any predefined action (like launching files, sending the Mac to sleepâ?¦) also to keyboard shortcuts - and therewith effectively replacing keyboard macro tools.
So it's already now become indispensable for me, and I'm sure even more is to come. Way to go!
