Microsoft IntelliPoint
Microsoft IntelliPoint software is an application that allows you to customize the unique features of your Microsoft mouse. It lets you reassign buttons to perform shortcuts, commands, and app-specific functions such as Copy or Undo; run a macro; and modify mouse settings such as pointer speed or updated horizontal scrolling.
It also offers biometrics support to facilitate advanced identity management if your keyboard or mouse is Bluetooth-enabled and Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. The software also enables you to configure your mouse for automatic updates and opt-in to our customer experience improvement program.
IntelliPoint is available for free download and works on both PCs running Windows XP, Vista or later. It supports all Microsoft mice made or supported by the company, including those with both PS/2 and USB connectors.
This application is designed to help you utilise your mouse more effectively, saving time and effort by configuring global or application-specific settings. It also enables you to reassign mouse buttons and wheel to perform specific functions, such as launching applications; performing commands or accessing shortcuts. It also provides an option to set the rate at which the mouse wheel is turned and replaces the "Alt+Tab" function with the command “Next Window” that cycles through all open windows.
IntelliPoint is available for free download on Microsoft’s Web site. It requires Mac OS X 10.1.2 or higher, 15MB of hard disk space, and a compatible Microsoft mouse. This application is not essential for a basic Microsoft mouse but it is handy for users with specialized peripherals like keyboards, and especially those that feature additional buttons or wheels.
