Hi there,
I just bought a Bluetooth mouse. It works, but I'm used to a mouse with the buttons reconfigured (main mouse Click on right), so I find it a pain to use.
I'll keep this mouse if there's hope that either MouseWorks (it's a Kensington mouse) or USB Overdrive will, in a future release, allow me to reconfigure its buttons. But I don't know if configurability of mouse buttons is a hardware issue, as well as a software one. In other words, even if MouseWorks or USB Overdrive is updated, will it work with the mouse that I already own?
Thanks for any help,
Malcolm

can't you swap the primary buttons using the Mouse System Preference?

The configurability can be controlled by software. I'm assuming those programs just don't support it yet.

Hi FFL - - in Sys. Prefs, Keyboard and Mouse, I can adjust Tracking Speed and Click Speed only.
Am I not looking in the right place?
