Whats the best Mouse Driver?

Jun 10, 2005 12:15AM PDT

I have a Logitech MX1000 mouse, the supplied software lets you make a single keymap of the various buttons which isnt much use when Im playing games as I would have to change the map everytime I change game or application.
Now I am currently using Microsoft intellimouse 5.2 which allows program specific settings so when I change games the keymap alters accordingly. The trouble is the intellimouse software dosent recognise all the buttons on the MX1000 (the tilt wheel for example) Ideally I would like a compromise between the two.
Is there such a thing that will allow program specific settings for ALL the mouse buttons?

The one written for your mouse by the manufacture. John

Well the one supplied by the manufacturer is a bloody pest to use as I need to change all the key allocations every time I change programs.
