Hmm, i have it set to 300% on a 1024x768 screen and i still dont think its as fast as
my amiga mouse way, i have full speed set in Input prefs but no acceleration. maybe you
should try without acceleration enabled in input ? :|

How did the miggy know to execute another startup on 3rd button ? did you use
driver software that came with the wizard mouse to do this ? I think that might
be why the EZ Mouse isnt recognising it. Its unfortunate that the wheeldriver doesnt
work from cli :(

Yes it is good and im happy with mine. I had allot of stability brobs at first due to
the order of which wheelfriver and freewheel were started. I found giving wheeldriver
top startup priority (127) and also a task pri of 1 to solve the problem. The problem
being that the mouse pointer would just cease up for no apparent reason and
keyboard control of mouse didnt work either.
