Make a backup of /System » Library » Extensions » AppleHIDMouse.kext just in case. You can use the Calculator in Programmer view mode (View » Programmer) to convert these values to decimal form. There they will show up in hexadecimal form, ie: 0x0021. Find your mouse's IDs ( VendorID and ProductID) in System Profiler, under the USB section. What you need to do is replace the USB ID of your mouse with the ones that correspond to the Mighty Mouse. But what about us simple folk that want a no-frills but functional mouse (not to mention five times cheaper)?Ĭaution: Terminal and root access required.
#Logitech trackball mouse driver for mac drivers#
Most people replace their mouse with fancy Logitech, Microsoft or MacAlly mice that bundle their own drivers that allow all kind of wonders to be done. Just plug in a Mighty Mouse, set the preferences, plug it out, use you other mouse - the preferences will 'stick.' Fine, what if you don't happen to have a Mighty Mouse just lying aroud? I scoured the net for several days trying to find out if someone had worked it out. That is, it recognizes it as such and brings up the corresponding preferences. Once in I started setting the system up like I wanted it, to my horror, the Mouse preferences didn't show me the third button on my mouse! Now what? Well it turns out that the System treats the Mighty Mouse special. Two main buttons plus a scroll/button wheel (ie: a scroll wheel that you can also click). Anyhow, I ended buying myself a simple, cheap and quite nice USB optical mouse.
Or more to the point, I broke it - the sticking little ball just drove me round the bend. I won't discuss the pros or cons of Apple's Mighty Mouse here, as mine just broke.
