Multi button mice on the Mac

[DELTAsnake]

I'm thinking of getting one of the WoW. It has 15 buttons, which is great for a MMO, but since it dosn't have Mac drivers I would be relying on the mouse drivers built into OSX when I'm not in Bootcamp. So how dose OSX cope with mice with more buttons than the Mighty Mouse?

OS X handles 2-button scroll wheel mice natively. You would need a mouse that has the appropriate drivers that will allow you to define each button. If such a driver isn't supplied by the company that makes the mouse, you'd need one from somewhere else. I know, for example, that there are "generic" scanner drivers and webcam drivers - I assume that there's one for mice, as well, though I haven't done the search to know for sure. Sorry.

Maybe someone else here can suggest one.

SteerMouse would most likely work - I used it with a Logitech mouse. USB Overdrive is another choice. They both cost a few dollars, but are free to try out first. Good luck!

I have used tons of mice in the past, but I really like the bluetooth mighty mouse for some reason..
