Mouse buttons 7 & 8 missing.

Unfortunately, 10.5.2 is a downgrade to most people..

out of curiosity, are those buttons detected by the expose and spaces preferences?
I use microsoft wireless laser mouse 6000 and expose and spaces detect its buttons (admittedly, there aren't as many of them as you've got on your mouse).

I second that! I can't see my own wireless network anymore after 10.5.2. So stupid.

I have the same problem. USB Overdrive isn't recognizing them when I used to use them for expose. They now go back to their original functions..... increasing and decreasing sensitivity.

Pretty annoying.

You are so funny. For whatever reasons, you decided to buy or use a mouse that was never designed to run on a Mac by the manufacturer and hasn't in the past. You've been using 3rd party programs to control the mouse, and those programs don't handle a major update for the OS the mouse is not designed for.

Logitech has 22 mice for sale, and 15 of them are supposed to work with the Mac:

You can cry to Logitech for proper drivers, or beg the 3rd party haxies to update their programs, but you are embarrassed that the mouse works better with Windows?

Unbelievable.

And Devin, what does your hijack comment about wireless problems have to do with buttons 7 & 8 not working on an unsupported mouse?

This is a Leopard user to user forum. If you use a product or program designed to work with Leopard or even MacOS then you might get some help with set up or troubleshooting. It is not a forum for advising Apple of anything. They don't officially monitor this forum for complaints.

If you are looking to haxie the OS then you should be looking at the web sites for companies that do this. Logitech specifically shows that they don't support this product for the Mac. It's not supposed to work at all. The fact that some of the features work is just a fluke.

USB Overdrive is probably your best bet. If the Leopard architecture allows buttons 7 and 8 or more than 16 buttons, they may take the time to update their program and add a feature for you and other users who they supported in the past. Hopefully, they get paid for their efforts in some way... They don't make any money in the price of the mouse. Just be aware that the method they use to enable a feature could be disabled by another system update in the future. That's the nature of Haxies.

Now if I could just get my old 12" Calcomp ADB drawing tablet with the Griffin ADB to USB adapter to work like I want I'd be very happy. Griffin dropped support for their adapter when Tiger came out. I decided that I wanted the benefits of Tiger, so I'm not embarrassed that I have very expensive unsupported hardware that doesn't work (at all).

Your perspective is short-ranged at best. Every version of MacOS has the potential to completely change your working applications and hardware products. Leopard is not 10.4.12. It is a new operating system (that you have to buy and install) that's very similar to earlier versions. Some companies don't want to update their products because they don't see any benefit for them (HP for example). The product, and sometimes the company gets forgotten. Vote with your dollar.

If you use version 10.4.5 of USB Overdrive buttons 7 & 8 will work. Version 10.4.8 seems to have broken it
