Anyone using Logitech's MX Revolution mouse?

I emailed their support after losing some button functionality in Snow Leopard. Curious to know if it's just me for some reason or if Logitech needs to update their Control Center.

Logitech has not released a version of Control Center that works with SL but you can assign Exposé functions with SL's Exopsé & Spaces pref pane.

First, change your mouse button assignments in the Logitech CC. Make them Advance Click buttons numbered 3 and up. Then in Exposé preferences, assign All Windows to Mouse Button 3, App Windows to Mouse button 4, etc etc.

I use the VX Nano and this works just the same.

In some cases after installing snow leopard you have to reinstall logitech control centre because it says "Logitech Device not found"

However, because LCC is not official Snow Leopard software it will tell you it can't install on "this version of osx" so you have to right click on the installer and navigate to Contents>>Resources>>Logitech Control Center.mpkg then double click this file and it will install LCC. Restart and LCC works. With mine it remembered all my settings too.

I have heard that this doesn't work for some people, don't know why. It worked for me though and maybe for others! 🙂

If it helps anyone here, I spent a few minutes this morning exploring how Snow Leopard views each button on my Logitech Revolution MX +without the LCC software installed+.

Side button (front): “Mouse Button 5”
Side button (rear): “Mouse Button 4”
Side wheel (slid forward): “Mouse Button 9”
Side wheel (slid backward): “Mouse Button 11”
Side wheel (clicked): “Mouse Button 13”

I'm using the wireless trackball. Although I have reinstalled the Logitech control center, which recognizes the ball and allows me to configure it, button functions are not good. The button click is not recognized within certain menus - programs which do not work properly include Garage Band and OpenOffice. The menus roll down, but clicking on an item has no effect.
