Mionix Naos 5000 Mouse issue

I just purchased a Mionix Naos 5000 mouse, which is a windows mouse, but should have plug and play functionality on a mac....just not all the fancy software that windows users get. This mouse will not work for me on my mac! It will not recognize the mouse at all, not even as a plug and play. What can I do? Any way to download drivers to where my mac can use microsoft mice?

Mionix.net says that the mouse has mac Plug n Play capabilities..... The usb ports and mouse work just fine on my windows 7 partition, so I know it's not an issue with my USB port or a defective mouse.... Any ideas on how to get this thing to work???

Thanks!

Contact the vendor and have them explain why yours doesn't work.

Give 'USB Overdrive' a try. I use it to configure and drive all my mice....it works flawlessly for me.

I've contacted Mionix support, but I'm sure they won't get back to me for a while.

I've tried using the USB Overdrive that I already had installed, but it wouldn't let me pick the Naos 5000 from the list (but it did show it). I'm currently getting the updated version to see if that helps.

Thanks for all the replies.

Worst comes to worst, I'll just get a Razer mouse that says it supports mac.
