SteerMouse for Mac

User Reviews

• Great Program. I've been using it for several years.

  doubledownloadogApril 10, 2018

  Pros

  If you have a mouse with several buttons you can program them to anything you want. I have Ctrl+F and copy/paste. This is my favorite efficiency hack on my computer. The app also has very good email support.

  Cons

  No cons at all. This is a great app.

• One of the few stable mouse drivers available.

  PaulKBOctober 31, 2013

  Pros

  I use using a Logitech Optical Mouse USB with Mac OS 10.7. The mouse driver software provided by Logtech was unstable, requiring reboots of the OS when it crashed. (Currently Logitech does not have a compatible driver to download on their site.) I tried USB OverDrive since it is free. It was equally unstable, incompatible, caused problems and appears to be no longer updated. SteerMouse works with my Logitech mouse. It provides all the functions of the original Logitech Driver as well as some functions not included using the Logitech driver. It is stable and compatible with OS 10.7 on my late 2006 iMac. BTW I am using SteerMouse version 4.1.7.

  Cons

  There is nothing I can think of to disappoint me about SteerMouse

  Summary

  If you need a driver for your mouse you should definitely look at SteerMouse. There is a free trial period before you need to pay. You can test SteerMouse before buying to determine its compatibility.

• Works well with Logitech mouse and others.

  hgm--2008January 20, 2011

  Pros

  I have a Logitech mouse. The mouse driver caused serious (reboot type) crashes on my Mac (10.6.6). SteerMouse works perfectly, configures all buttons.

  Cons

  None. It works.

  Summary

  I've had two mice that SteerMouse has worked with better than the original drivers. It has recognized every mouse that I had. Excellent program.

• It works with effort

  thompsbkOctober 26, 2009

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been using Steermouse with Logitech mice for a couple of years. It works well with one mouse. It is a pain to program the buttons for most mice. Occasionally I want to use a different mouse. steermouse does not recognize that a new mouse is being used so it tries to use the settings from the previous mouse. The settings must be changed everytime I switch a mouse. I would give Steermouse 5 stars if programing were much easier and If it would allow me to switch mice without having to do the settings all over again.

  Pros

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been dabbling with several replacements for Kensington's antiquated driver for the ExpertMouse. Steermouse is what I've settled upon, because it just works.

• Not quite right

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Overall, this software works well. However, since version 4, if I put my Mac to sleep manually, SteerMouse won't let it wake up. I am forced to restart my computer.
