Dell multi button mouse

I've attached a Dell mouse, which has left and right buttons, a track wheel, and two additional buttons which usually go back and forward in applications when pressed.
Looking at the mouse System Preferences Help file, it shows that if I have a multi function mouse, then additional options should come up, however these have not appeared.
Is there a way to get this mouse to work correctly? Although it's only for convenience sakes, it would still be nice to have these functions.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Pretty much all mice come with software for OS X to support their scroll wheels, extra buttons and such. I've been using a Logitech MX300 since the day I bought my G5. Works just ducky!

Not the end of the world, multi button mouse problem.

Hi there, I have a Microsoft multi button mouse which works fine in Leopard. I have configured 2 of the buttons for Command+H (Hide), and Command+W (Close). The buttons work fine everywhere except one place, and that's System Preferences.
I have added a custom configuration for System Prefs, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem either. It isn't the end of the world, but it would be nice if it did work.
Thanks,
Anil.

Hi Topher,
I am using the latest driver from Microsoft, and the mouse works fine everywhere else except System Prefs. I haven't tried USB Overdrive because the Microsoft driver has a very nice front end which makes configuring the mouse very easy.
Thanks,
Anil.

Wired Multi-Button Mouse for OSX.5 & PowerMac - Seeking Recommendations

I poked around at the Apple Store on-line and I saw many wireless mice and a few wired mice. I focused my attention on the wired mice because I am not interested in the wireless variety for my desktop and in several of the reviews it mentions incompatibility with OSX.5.
So, any OSX.5 users out there have any feedback on the good, the bad and the untrustworthy multi-button mice?
I like most of the Mighty Mouse features, except for the lack of a right click button (yes I can set the little scroll wheel button for that (and I have) but it just doesn't feel right to me).
Thanks.

Martin,
The Mighty Mouse does have right-click functionality, without using the scroll wheel. I'm not really sure why you think it doesn't. Nevertheless...
I really, really like all of the Kensington products. I have a Kensington Bluetooth Pilot Mouse Mini for use with my Macbook Pro, but I also have a USB "Studio" mouse that is still used with an older G4 tower, and it has delivered fantastic performance. This is a three-button mouse with a touch-sensitive strip in place of a scroll wheel, but I don't think they make this one anymore (unfortunately).
Perhaps the best thing about Kensington devices is the accompanying "Mouseworks" software. The software consists of drivers for most of their products (not necessary in most cases) and a new "preference pane" where the device's buttons and features can be configured and customized, even on an application-by-application basis. Very powerful tools.

Setup multi button mouse

I have a nobutech bd-ms 140 external mouse that has 5 buttons. Anyway to set the buttons up through Snow Lep setup.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Does your Mac recognize it? (Menubar, System Preferences, Hardware, Mouse)
If it recognizes it as a generic USB two-button or three-button mouse, that's probably all you're going to get.
Unlikely that it has an OS X driver, since it is listed on the manufacturer's website, www.nobutech.com as a Windows USB plug-n-play mouse. No mention of OS X on the spec sheet here: http://www.nobutech.com/products/BD-MS140/specs.pdf

Turn multi-button mouse into single button mouse

I thought I would never want to go back to the single button mouse that Apple preferred until recently.
But now my 3 year old son is learning to use the computer and has a lot of problems with contextual menus popping up all over the screen. Is there any way to turn the right mouse button into a second left mouse button?
Mac Mini, Powerbook G4, B&W G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, Wim T. If your son has his own user account on the Mac, you may be able to use the mouse's configuration software to set both buttons to do the same thing — in his account only. That would leave your own mouse-configuration preferences undisturbed. And I second Kappy's recommendation of USB Overdrive as excellent mouse-configuration software.

Multi-button mouse

I just got my MBP yesterday and have not found yet any wired or wireless mouse that will work with it except basic functions like right/left button and scrolling. No way to program other buttons for Logitech mouse (MX 1000 or MX 600) as Logitech Control Center won't even launch on Intel Mac. My Logitech Desktop S530 Laser Combo works great on my first generation (PPC) iMac G5 though, but no way on MBP.
Any positive experience and/or suggestions (maybe Microsoft Laser 6000 if anyone tried) will be greatly appreciated.

I have the Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000. All of the buttons of the mouse work fine on Mac OS X if you install the Microsoft Intellipoint drivers. However, what I prefer over Intellipoint is USB Overdrive. USB Overdrive should work for your Logitech mouse. The Microsoft Intellipoint drivers might even work with your Logitech mouse.

Regular Two Button Mouse, Corded

I need help with choosing a mouse that is two button, non Apple, with Scroll Wheel. If the mouse does not need drivers or does not crash OS X or make it slow with drivers installed. If a particular update breaks the mouse or it does not work with Tiger, please post it here.
Thank You

In the end you'll need to figure out what mouse will work best for you, but I can make a personal suggestion. As long as you're right handed, I'd recommend a Logitech Multi-Button mouse. I have the MX 510 and I personally love it. It's fairly well supported right out of the box, although for optimum use you'd need to install the drivers. I personally disliked the Logitech drivers (and uninstalled them), but I am a big fan of USB Overdrive which is a third party mouse driver that works flawlessly. As far as the MX 510 goes, it's not very compact (read: meant for desktop use), but it's great for gaming and any type of precision work. I've had mine for over a year with no problem and they have a good warranty if anything did go wrong. Best of all though, it's pretty cheap right now.

Hope this helps some. You might want to look at some full length reviews of whatever mouse you decide to go with before you buy it.

I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro. It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page). Anyone know how to fix this?

First sentence in OPs question:

I guess the track pad settings would look similar to my screen shot?

Finder 5 button mouse forward/backward

After upgrading to Maverics I lost the back and forward function of my Wacom 5 button mouse in finder. Anyone know how to fix this w/o a 3rd party software install?

It doesn't work for me also...
I have seen a similar thing on this forum earlier.

2 button mouse for MAC

I'm authoring a project on a PC but also need a MAC version.
There are some functions that require a right mouse click. They
work fine on the PC but can't get them to work on the MAC. I have
emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE. I have a two button mouse on my
MAC. Right clicking does not work and Control clicking does not
work. Any ideas?

Have you set;
the emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE
or;
emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE
If it isn't preceded by 'the' then it's just another
variable. In MX2004 you could also use;
_player.emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE

After several time installed CS6 and a clean Windows 8.1 bridge still pause after selecting a picture or right click with button mouse.

My bridge pause all the time. I have to wait 30 seconds after selecting a picture or click the right button of the mouse. I have installed a new windows 8.1, and a fresh CD6. But still these problems in Bridge. No problems in Photoshop. What to do

What is the problem:
When I choose a picture in Bridge I have to wait 20 till 30 seconds (sometimes more).
When I choose with right click of the mouse. I have to wait the same time.
When I choose the menu. Also
After opening the picture(s) in Camera RAW. There are no problems
In Photoshop there are also no problems. Everything works all right.
Only Bridge have these problems. But I can’t work with it.

Keyboard freeze in Finder - can someone with a 2-button mouse reproduce?

I've been having a problem where the Finder suddenly stops responding to key presses. I'm using a Microsoft IntelliMouse, and I'm trying to find out if it's the mouse or the Finder's fault. If you use a 2-button mouse, would you mind trying the following? (I don't think a Mighty Mouse will work for this):
1. Open a window in the Finder.
2. Put it into column view.
3. In the white background of the window, click both mouse buttons at once. You'll probably need to do this several times, so you can be sure they were pressed at exactly the same time.
4. Try to use some Finder keyboard shortcuts (e.g. arrow keys to select a folder, or command-N to open a new window. Nothing should work.
5. You can fix things by force-quitting and re-launching the Finder, or just restarting.
I can consistently reproduce this on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5. I used to have the same problem on a PowerBook G4 with OS 10.4, although I can't be sure it was caused by these exact steps. My mouse is http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-D58-00026-Intellimouse-Optical-Mouse/dp/B00005TQ 08 with no special drivers installed, just the built-in ones.
Can anyone else reproduce this, and tell me what kind of mouse, mouse driver, OS, and Mac you're using? Thanks,
Jacob

I was able to reproduce the problem using a Logitech MX510 optical mouse, built-in Mac driver (no 3rd party mouse software installed). I'm running Leopard on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Core Duo.
Also, I didn't have to press both buttons at the same time; holding down the left-click and then right-clicking led to the same problem. Left-clicking while holding down right-click doesn't cause any problems.

Mouse reduced to a three button mouse when unpluged/repluged

It's me and my mouse again.
This time the problem is that the scroll and side buttons stops working when I unplug and erplug the mouse back in again. It's a Logitech MX518 mouse.
My MX518 use /dev/input/event4.
# cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c01e Version=2200

When I unplug my mouse, the /dev/input/event4 is removed. When I replug my mouse back in again, a new event is created named /dev/input/event5. And my mouse is suddently reduced to a three button mouse. To fix this, I have to kill X, unplug/replug my mouse, and start X again.
This is after unplug/replug the mouse without restarting X

Have tried to create a udev rule, without any luck.
ACTION=="add",
KERNEL=="event*",
SUBSYSTEM=="input",
SYSFS(manufacturer)=="Logitech",
SYSFS(product)=="USB Receiver",

Does anyone have an idea that can be done to fix this.
Orjanp

I'm using udev to create links for my Logitech MX700 Duo (Logitech Elite keyboard + MX700 mouse).
Here are my udev rules:
# Laptop keyboard
BUS=="serio", SYSFS{description}=="i8042 Kbd Port", SYMLINK+="input/clavier"
# Alps TouchPad
# GlidePoint
BUS=="serio", SYSFS{description}=="i8042 Aux Port", KERNEL=="event?", SYMLINK+="input/touchpad"
# StickPointer
SUBSYSTEM=="input", SYSFS{dev}=="13:32", SYMLINK+="input/stick"
# MX700 Duo
# Keyboard
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", SYSFS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="01", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="input/mx700duo_clavier"
# Mouse
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", SYSFS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="input/mx700duo_souris"
The bInterfaceNumber/Protocol are the only thing that can differcienciate the two (same wireless receiver...).
Hope you will be able to adapt it to your kb/mouse.
I've never been able to make work 100% of it. Since the symlinks disapear if I unplug the usb mouse/kb, I can't unplug and replug them if Xorg is running...

Bluetooth/Mac Wireless (One Button) Mouse Probs

So I'm using my PowerBook 15" 1.67Ghz with that Apple Wireless One-Button-Mouse. For quite a while. Never had problems.
Now, all of a sudden, the mouse starts not to track smoothly anymore. After a while I found the appropiate document from Apple:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93369
which lead me to try using a piece of plain white paper instead of my mousepad, as suggested - which almost resolved the issue, but only almost. Thing is still stuttering now and then. I also can't see that the sensor would be dirty, it looks clean.
So, after seeing that there wasn't a firmware update in quite a while, I was wondering if anyone else experienced this issue, and how you might have come up with a solution...
