    Is it possible to customize the mouse like you can the keyboard?

    Specifically, I’d like the pinwheel to be a timeline zoom control rather than a scroll control.

    Thanks in advance.

    If it is, it’s in the Apple system prefs. I have a really great mouse you CAN do this with BTW… take a look at the Revolution mouse from logitech. Love it.

    I have a Logitech MX510 mouse — not the same as the Revolution, but it does have programable buttons. But how do I program them? I assumed it would be in the System Preferences… but it’s not. What’s the process for your mouse?

    TIA.

    Well the Logitech mouse has a control panel you need to install… it then shows up in the bottom area of the System preferences window… I program it using that control panel. Look for one for your mouse in the support area of the manufacturers site…

    Thanks Jerry.

    I’ll investigate that further.

    Have a great day!

    I have used this app with an Apple wireless mouse for the exact same reason in FCP.
