I have a Logitech MX518 and the drivers are not supported on OS X. That means that i cant really set up the mouse to work as I like as far as DPI and the buttons are concerned.

What software can I use to get this working?
I have tried Steermouse and USB Overdrive.
Steermouse worked alright, but they are both shareware.
Is there anything free for OS X 10.5.2 that would allow me to do this?

Theres a Logitech Control Centre for Mac but that doesnt work with this mouse.

So does anyone know of any free software that would allow me to set up this mouse properly?

Also, while I'm at it, does anyone know what the average battery life is for one of the 17" macbook pro's?

Thankyou :)

Sorry about the "sofware" typo in the title. Would a mod be able to fix that? thankyou haha

If you want custom DPI's I don't think you can on OS X unless theres a third party program... but I know my G7 has like 600, 800 then 2000 default or so, I don't remember.

I've not yet seen any logitech software for the MX/G series or the G15 LCD.

They all work happily with the generic USB drivers atleast, though.
