Contour Overdrive is a software driver designed for Contour USB mice like UniMouse, Perfit and more, providing full control of the mouse's features, enhanced performance and increased productivity.
The Contour Overdrive is a software designed to improve your mouse experience with the Contour Design UniMouse and Perfit Mouse. It is a customized version of USB Overdrive that only supports these two devices, and does not work with any other mouse. With the Contour Overdrive, you can assign useful actions to your mouse's extra buttons and significantly speed up your daily tasks.
One of the most popular assignments is to control-click the right button to easily access contextual menus, while the middle button is great for auto-scrolling. The software allows you to configure all settings globally or on an application-specific basis, letting you fine-tune your experience for different programs.
If you're a gamer, you'll be happy to know that the Contour Overdrive provides all the necessary hooks to support the device-specific configuration panels for games that already use InputSprockets. Additionally, the Control Panel includes an active help feature that explains each command and option as you move the cursor around.
The latest release of the Contour Overdrive includes several improvements such as fixing an incompatibility with the Griffin iMate ADB to USB adapter, adding visual cursor feedback for AutoScroll, and rewrote most of the low-level part of the software to use Apple's standard USB drivers, making it fully compatible with Mac OS 9 and the new Game Sprockets.
However, if you're still using Mac OS 8.x without Game Sprockets, the custom USB drivers are still available for use, and a new option in the Options menu can activate or deactivate them. The only requirement for using the Contour Overdrive is a Contour Design UniMouse or Perfit Mouse. Overall, the Contour Overdrive is a great investment for anyone looking to enhance their mouse experience with these specific devices.
