The problem I have is that there are far too many mice to have on display, and many stores don't bother. Typically I find symmetrical mice more comfortable, purely subjective.Īnother good thing to do is if there is a store near you with tons of mice on display, go and check out what styles, sizes, and shapes you find comfortable. Personally I use the "fingertip" grip and with large hands I find it extremely difficult to find a mouse that I like. The wired Death Adder solved all those issues, and I am okay with a cord on my desk.īefore you can even start looking for a mouse, you need to identify what type of grip you use: I did not have the same issues with a PC. Great mouse, just not for LR editing on an Apple. I have had accuracy problems with my Logitech wireless, fine/minute movements were choppy or even impossible. I just use a simple wireless Logitech mouse. You're using different muscles in your hand, so if you switch between the tablet and a mouse, you're spreading the pain, so to speak. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's excellent. However, I think you should have a look at a Wacom tablet for Lightroom. My hands are killing me (carpal tunnel and other things), and I find this is a good choice that doesn't cost a fortune. Logitech MX Master is a comfortable and customizable mouse.
#OSX USB OVERDRIVE DRIVERS#
Logitech mucks about with some weird drivers and pref files.
Also highly recommend ]Alessandro's Overdrive for OS X. Truly, unless you are a gamer the 27 flashing color, glows in the dark, improves sex appeal, and makes coffee models are wasted on we mere mortals. The somewhat simpler corded one (S400?) works okay. I've also been thru probably 4 different Logitech models. Note: Apple's mice and keyboards IMHO are junk. I can't overemphasise how comfortable and precise it is. Mine is corded and I've had it for years. Highly recommend the Contour from Contour Design I have an older one that feels wonderful in the hand, is precise and only has 5 buttons which is all I can remember/use Here's a link:ĭid you want a wireless mouse? they are a LOT easier to deal with I've been computing since the 80's and it is, by far, the most comfortable and intuitively designed input tool I have ever used. If you are aware of it then it probably isn't the right one for you.ĭo you mean the M570? If you do, I couldn't agree more. However, the problem would be occur with mice too if they did not have a configurable and switchable dpi feature.ĭon't cheat yourself on the mouse or whatever pointing device you decide on - along with the keyboard and screen it is one of the fundamental interfaces between you and your computer that you'll be using all the time that you use the computer. I prefer mice to trackballs because I prefer to move my hand and wrist to rolling a track ball repeatedly. All resolved by uninstalling the Logitech software.
#OSX USB OVERDRIVE SOFTWARE#
Just as well too because there was a conflict between the Logitech software and some EnTech software that drives my ASUS GT751JT notebook touch screen and/or the Dell Display Manager for my external monitor. I had been using a Logitech mouse but it died on me. If it doesn't have that feature then ignore it as an option.
#OSX USB OVERDRIVE HOW TO#
The Razer Death Adder did not suit me - not quite the right shape and if it had configurable dpi then I failed to find out how to drive it properly. Changing batteries takes only a few seconds but is a nuisance I'd rather avoid). 9 which is very configurable to fit my hand nicely, but it looks ugly and it needs a battery change at least every day (there is a spare battery supplied and a charger. If you can't switch between these two very easily then it will drive you crazy. The lower dpi will be wanted for normal navigation around the screen and the high dpi will slow the cursor right down for precise positioning when editing or setting anchor points. Get a mouse that has a button to switch back and forth between low dpi and high dpi. MX570 trackball w/ OSX 'Steermouse' software Leave the Xerox PARC ergonomics back in 1974. Much better than an old school thick pad IMHO. They have an adhesive backing, but I just lay mine on the desk with the corner of my keyboard on it, and it holds still just fine for me. I got this one:Īctually two, but they are barely thicker than a sheet of paper, and the mouse flows smoothly and accurately on it. While you are at it, consider your mouse pad as well.
+1 for the Razer Death Adder! Not only is is a great mouse that is very precise and comfortable, it also has a kick ass name! Using it on a Mac, OS 10.9, customizing buttons with USB Overdrive, editing in LR. I have the magic mouse, and the magic track pad
