The Interex Scrolling Mouse may be used with any Macintosh with USB. This includes the iMac and Power Macintosh G3 computers as well as older computers with USB cards installed.
iMac users should be sure to install the iMac Firmware Update which is available on Apple's website at www.apple.com. This important update fixes several USB-related bugs.
System 8.0 or later is required.
Installation Instructions:
1) Disconnect your iMac mouse and connect the Interex Scrolling Mouse to any available USB port.
2) Double-click on “Interex Mouse Installer”.
3) Click “Continue”.
4) Click “Install”. This will copy the necessary files to your computer.
5) Restart your computer. After restarting, you may use the Interex Mouse control panel to change mouse speed and button functions. If you are upgrading from a beta version of this software, your previous settings will be lost.
Using the Scroll Wheel:
Rolling the scroll wheel forward and backward will scroll the contents of the front-most window on your screen up and down. Each 'click' of the scroll wheel is equivalent to a click on one of the scroll bar arrows.
For continuous scrolling, hold the wheel down while rolling it forward or backward. As long as the wheel is held down, the window will keep scrolling. The more you roll the wheel, the faster the window will scroll (limited only by the speed of the application you are using).
Using the Buttons:
The left button behaves like a normal mouse button. Clicking the right button is equivalent to holding down the control key while clicking. In many programs, right-clicking will pop up a convenient menu with useful commands. For example, you can move a file to the trash by right-clicking on its icon and selecting "Move to Trash" from the menu that appears.
You can change the button behaviors with the Interex Mouse control panel. Either button may be set to "click", "double-click", "click-lock" or "control-click". One of the buttons must always be set to "click", however.
Compatibility:
The Interex Scrolling Mouse has been tested with dozens of popular Macintosh applications. Because there is no direct support for wheel mice built into the MacOS, there will inevitably be applications that do not scroll properly. Usually this is because the software does not follow Apple's programming guidelines or because the application is not using standard scroll bars.
If you have an application that is not scrolling properly, please contact technical support.
Problem Applications:
These programs do not scroll properly with the Interex Scrolling Mouse version 1.0.1. Check Interex's web site for updates.
