Manage updates with the Download AppPublisher's Description
From Plentycom Systems:
SteerMouse is an advanced driver for USB and Bluetooth mice. It also supports Apple Mighty Mouse very well.
SteerMouse can assign various functions to buttons that Apple's software does not allow, including double-clicks, modifier clicks, application switching, assignment of shortcut keys, "snap to" cursor movement, which moves the cursor to target (such as an OK button), and more.
SteerMouse lets you control the cursor's Sensitivity on top of the Tracking Speed. (Apple's software only allows adjustment for the Tracking Speed.) By adjusting both configurations, you can customize the ideal setting for the cursor to fit the movements of your hand.

Version: SteerMouse 4.1.1

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"
Version: SteerMouse 4.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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. -
"Does all you'd expect"
Version: SteerMouse 4.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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"
Version: SteerMouse 4.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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. -

"Works perfectly with Logitech MX518"
Version: SteerMouse 3.9
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have used USB Overdrive for many years. If you love a great mouse, USBO used to be the must-have application. It always does more than the mouse company's software for Macs, especially Logitech's (which is just horrid and buggy beyond belief).
HOWEVER, the current version of USB Overdrive (10.4.8) just doesn't work with many of the more modern mice out there, such as the MX518.
lI think Logitech mice are the best out there, especially if you are a fan of shortcuts. From a click on the mouse, you can use all of Exposé's features, switch back and forth on any browser and open a folder.
But, Logitech's last great corded mouse that supposedly worked with Macs was the great MX510. That's no longer available. They've upgraded it to the MX518, but their site says "only works with PC."
I've used the mouse software USB Overdrive for years. Beats the pants off of Logitech's software by a mile. However, the developer hasn't upgraded it for a long time, and try as I did, I couldn't get it to recognize all 7 of Logitech's buttons. I wrote Alessandro, but never did not hear back from him regarding a fix for the 518. His site does promise a new upgrade, but that's been over a year ago.
I finally completely uninstalled USB Overdrive and installed the newer SteerMouse. Works *perfectly* with the new MX518.
If you love a good mouse, but were stymied by how many of them seemed to be PC only, my guess is that any mouse will now work with SteerMouse.
USB Overdrive may eventually come out with a workable version, and make it a worthwhile mouse application. But given the length of time between upgrades, and the lack of response when emailed, I get the feeling the developer has moved on to other projects, so my suggestion would be to go with SteerMouse.
