Alessandro Levi Montalcini has released USB Overdrive X 10.3.9, the latest version of his universal USB input device drivers for Mac OS X. “The USB Overdrive X is a driver for Mac OS X that handles any USB mouse, trackball, joystick and gamepad from any manufacturer and lets you configure them either globally or on a per-application basis. It reads all kinds of wheels, buttons, switches and controls and supports scrolling, keyboard emulation, launching and all the usual stuff like clicking, control-clicking and so forth.” Version 10.3.9 version is fully functional under Tiger, (Mac OS X 10.4), Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) and still works fine in Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). The upcoming 10.4 version will support Bluetooth mice as well on Panther and Tiger. USB Overdrive is priced at US$20. Thanks to MacMinute reader James Smith for this news tip.
