The Software

On my test system, an ASUS X55SV laptop with Windows 7 x64 running on it, the USB Wireless adapter was recognized without installing any extra drivers and the mouse worked right away; to be able to access the rest of the mouse functions, I had to install the provided drivers.

The application has 3 main tabs: “Main Control”, ”Button Assignment” and “Update/Support”. In the Main Control menu, we can set the sensitivity, vertical scroll speed, horizontal tilt speed, DPI settings, Windows pointer speed, the double click speed and we can also reset everything to default. On the bottom part we can save our settings in a profile:



In the Button Assignment screen, we can set button functions on our mouse; some functions are already set and the EasyShift[+] function is assigned to the “4” button; in this menu we can also set the hand-mode switch or we can create and edit macros:
