Final Comments How It Grades Installation: 95% Originality: 95% Usability: 85% Drivers: 90% Features: 95% Price: 85% Users' Guide: 75% Overall: 90% The Microsoft vision of the gaming world has never been so clear and this new device is a supplementary proof that the Redmond based company still has tons of ideas that answer our needs. Even if the device targets a very specific market, every strategy game addict should buy it to change the way he plays. The well-studied shape, the moving feature, the incredible number of buttons and the high quality software really make it worth the buy. I really love this device and I知 sure it will mark the gaming industry.

Note that with so many great hardware devices, Microsoft will compel the gamer to have a Strategic Commander in the left hand, an IntelliMouse in the right one, a GameVoice pad in the mouth and a keyboard controlled by your feet;-).

Alessandro Levi Montalcini has updated his software to v1.4. USB Overdrive is a universal USB driver for mice, trackballs, and game controllers, and this release is specifically aimed at Mac OS 9x and Mac OS X's 'Classic' environment. (The current version of USB Overdrive X is 10.2.2.) The new version now supports mousewheel scrolling in Classic applications.

Even if you use USB Overdrive X, you'll need this version to be installed separately in your Classic environment if you want to be able to program mice and other input devices. When running USB Overdrive v1.4 in Mac OS 9, you'll now see a 'Use Global Settings' command. USB Overdrive v1.4 also supports Logitech's MX500 and MX700 8-button mice, Microsoft's Sidewinder Strategic Commander (a left-handed game controller), GyroPoint devices, and other changes. USB Overdrive is distributed as shareware. It costs US$20 to register.
