Microsoft keyboard/mouse drivers 7.0 pretty cool

ET3D · Jun 18, 2009, 12:20 PM

I just installed the Intellipoint and Intellitype drivers v7.0, and I love what they've done. Much better configurability, including macro recording and programming, disabling windows keys per program (nice for games), or even disabling caps lock (which some people hate). The mouse has a cool "quick turn" mode, where you can calibrate it in a game to make a 180 degree turn with one click. (Hopefully this calibration is kept per game; haven't tested this yet.)

All in all, these drivers look like finally Microsoft is getting it when it comes to mouse / keyboard drivers.

Actually looks like this already existed in 6.31 which I have installed in Windows 7. Don't know when it was added exactly, because I don't remember having so many options. In any case, I think that upgrading from 5 will be a good idea. The drivers did have a Sidewinder option when I installed them.
