Developer’s Description

By Alessandro Levi Montalcini

Connect any number of input devices to your USB-equipped Mac.

From the developer: The USB Overdrive is a driver for Mac OS 9.x or later that handles any USB mouse, trackball, joystick and gamepad from any manufacturer and lets you configure them either globally or on a per-application basis. It reads all kinds of wheels, buttons, switches and controls and supports scrolling, keyboard emulation, launching and all the usual stuff like clicking, control-clicking and so forth. The USB Overdrive can easily handle several USB devices at once.

Version 1.4 enables mouse wheel scrolling in Classic applications under Mac OS X 10.2 and later. New features under Mac OS 9 include a 'Use Global Settings' command, support for the Logitech MX500 and MX700 8-button mice, support for the Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander, support for GyroPoint devices, and more.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!

Pros
I use an old music software program on an old Mac running OS 9.1. I have always hated that I couldn't scroll with a scroll wheel but after installing USB overdrive (very simple, worked perfectly immediately) I can not only scroll up and down with a standard PC mouse scroll wheel but I can scroll SIDEWAYS! I'm in love. This changes my work flow completely and drops the aggravation factor immensely. Really, I'm thrilled. For 20 bucks? Sold!
Cons
I have only just started using the product and so have no cons to report. Maybe in the future but I doubt it. :)

Just what I needed

If you still use MAC OS 9.2 you cannot benefit of the write button and weel of most standard mice. Logitech for exemple support only MAC X et does not offer any driver for OS 9. <p>USB Overdrive solve the problem whith his very simple interface. Easy to install, works perfectly (no software conflict). Great little software !

Updated to OS X a few weeks ago, used Word 98 as a Classic application and couldn't scroll anymore! My Logitech mouse driver didn't work in Classic. USB Overdrive changed that within seconds, now everything is fine again, thanks.
100% satisfied

Summary
We recently added Kensington USB Scroll Mice as a new product line at our eBay Store. Kensington claimed that the mouse works on Windows only. However, as Mac users, we needed a way to test the mouse ourselves in order to make recommendations to our customers. This program installed easily on both my OS 9 and OS X systems, and has many customizable features that can be tailored to specific applications and needs. You can program each button to do anything from a double-click to launching a URL. It is very smooth in design and feel, and should satisfy both the casual and pro Mac user. We'll certainly be recommending it to all our Mac using customers...Bravo!
