Official Steermouse website: http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/
Having used Apple's Magic Mouse for a month, I just found it to be highly uncomfortable and a hassle to use. Although it supports multi-finger gestures, the side-swiping forward and back motions did not feel natural and jarred the mouse from side to side. It made me long for my trusty Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX.

| The Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX paired with a Macbook Pro |
By default, the Logitech mouse works on OSX; however, the use of the shortcut button underneath the scroll wheel and the forward/back buttons on the side were disabled. Steermouse enables this functionality, and it allows you to customize the action of each button.
 | |
| Buttons 6, 7, and 8 allow other buttons, besides the fwd/back ones, to be customized. |
At only $20 US for a single computer license, it's a bargain considering the savings versus buying a trendy $70 Macbook accessory... the Magic Mouse.

I don't have a Mac right now, but if/when I do this will probably be one of the first things getting installed.
Thank god Thank You Thank You thank You!
Ah yes! i would hate to have 1 click only
Very helpful, this has been bothering me as well.
Whoo! No more crappy Mac mice!
Mac mouses annoy me. If I ever do switch to Mac now I know I am not tethered to that mouse. Thanks!
Thanks, even tho i do not own a Mac (as of now)
also, to reply on your comment on my blog:
It might indeed be hard to get out of his usual character, but that will make it all the more interesting.

Sillyoldbum
i do agree that those fucking mice that apple seels are outrageously priced, but I'm so used to trackpads that I can barely function with a mouse anymore
This can be very useful, Thanks
thats cool one problem and a bunch more to go
Looks like a handy piece of software for fans of the mac and OSX.
I don't like the Mac mouse neither
Thanks alot! I like this blog, As i have a MBP and a PC.
Mac is not for me!
thank god for pc^
that was useful
i have a severe disdain for apple and their products. i see no advantage to using them. all the while there are many drawbacks.
man this mouse is wicked, i have one :P
Good info here and thanks for the comment! But it makes me wonder if, for a task such as this, there isn't a freeware alternative.
Very useful info.
That's cool. :D
nice, might get a mac so this is usefull
You are a genius!
now you can right click :D
Love it!
lol I have that combination
you can right click anyway rougez... *facepalm*
Always good to know these things. Thanks for the heads up.
@roguez You can right click on the Magic Mouse by clicking at the far, right top edge. Since the mouse is flat, when I used it, my hand tended to slide the mouse, and when I'd try to right click, I'd be click on the side-middle of the mouse. Keeping my fingers at the top of the mouse during prolonged use was something I couldn't get used to since my work computer is a PC, and I use the Logitech mouse.
I'd rather use my pc :D but ty <3

Great tips there, didn't know you could do that

neat
I'm running the same exact setup. I like the fact that I can configure Steermouse to act differently in different applications. In OSX, I use the CMD key, but when running my VM in Parallels Desktop, I use the CTRL key.
I teach in a Maya in MAC lab.
At beginning of every class we have to go into preferences and change the mouse button functions.
ARGHHH
