Logitech S530 for Mac

This is a great combo for the Mac. I am glad I bought it. I did have some problems getting it working thou. The Logitech Control Center (LCC) that came with it didn’t work when installing it from the CD. I had to download it from their website, eject the CD and install it. It took a couple times before I figured out how to get it installed. It makes the computer reboot to finish installing but it wasn’t completing the install. I think ejecting the CD before installing helped.

The other thing that bugs me is getting it working with Firefox. I was able to bind the side buttons on the mouse to get the Forward and Backward to work by binding the side buttons to apple+right and apple+left respectively. However I haven’t got the middle click to open a new tab working.

If anyone knows how to get middle click on a link in Firefox and it opens a new tab to work that would be awesome. It is really bugging me. The weird part is I think it used to work for this mouse or maybe the other mouse and now it doesn’t.

ok. I got it now. I didn’t see that you could configure the wheel button to be advanced click.

on the right side of the window where it says click there is a drop down menu that you can change the options. That allows you to do what is needed.

    I’m not sure, I haven’t tried it on my Ubuntu box.

    I would imagine that with the built in drivers for Linux you could use the basic functions of the mouse / keyboard but not the advanced buttons like back and double click with scroll wheel.

    Since both the keyboard and mouse are wireless it might be a little more tricky to get working, it comes with a USB 2.4 GHz wireless stick that both the keyboard and mouse communicate with.

    It works with PCLinuxOS but the mouse is super fast… PCLOS picks it straight up
