BenQ M310 Mouse not working with tiger?

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
Someone on the AI forums recommended the BenQ M310 mouse to me. I liked the look so I ordered it and now it won't work. I assume it is due to tiger because it works alright on my desktop that runs panther still. I am currently using a 15inch 1.67 power book and I am unable to find a way to get it to work. Whenever I hit the buttons the mouse arrow image thingy on my desktop shoots straight to a corner like the apple or spotlight rather then clicking on what i wanted it to.



Anyone else come across this problem? Anyone know of any fixes? through apple or benq?

    Tiger 10.4 is newest version of the Mac OS. Was just recently released. As what is common with any operating system when a major update is provided, there is always a chance of problems and failures. Best option is to wait for Apple to provide a patch to fix the OS bugs.







    You can discuss updates to your OS following link:



    http://www.macfixit.com or http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/







    Current Apple-recognized mouse hardware compatibility for OSX is: http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/input.html







    Mouse testing applet:

    The mouse isn't support by Tiger... yet!

    So, the best to do.. is wait! Or write a driver for this mouse????



    See ya!

    Did you install some software that came with the mouse? If so, get rid of it.



    Then try USB OverDrive http://www.usboverdrive.com
