Microsoft IntelliPoint is the Microsoft-branded software driver for the company's hardwaremice. Microsoft has released versions for both Windows and Mac OS X. It has been succeeded by Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, which combines IntelliType (a Microsoft keyboard driver) with IntelliPoint.

Mar 06, 2020  Some older Microsoft devices are no longer supported in the latest Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. However, they're still supported by an older version of Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center 2.3 on Windows 7, or the earlier version IntelliPoint 8.2 and IntelliType Pro 8.2 software on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.

  • Feb 02, 2014  I am currently using a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical with Mountain Lion. The latest Microsoft driver works, with one caveat - I have to go into System Preferences every time I boot, and click on 'Microsoft Mouse' to activate the driver. Its a bit of an annoyance, but I love this mouse.

  • Apr 21, 2017  The mouse is meant to be compatible with Mac OS X 10.10. It was compatible with El Capitan (10.11), but it won't stay connected with Sierra (10.12) if you re-paired or initially connected the mouse with that OS.

Features[edit]

Software features may only be available with certain mice models. (Button options are specific to the selected model.) On Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.x, IntelliPoint features can be accessed by opening Microsoft Mouse in System Preferences.[2]

Depending on the software version and specific mouse product, users can define mouse buttons to run any executable program or file they desire (or a control key + letter combination) and can even define buttons for different functions in chosen programs.

With IntelliPoint 4, users were able to specify mouse wheel behavior to scroll one screen at a time. This feature was useful in situations where the user had to work with windows of varying size and a fixed scroll rate alternated from being too fast or too slow depending on each window. This feature was incorporated into the Windows XP operating system[3] and removed in IntelliPoint 5.[citation needed] The 'Alt+Tab' button combination was also replaced with 'Next Window,' effectively preventing users from alternating between specific programs, and instead having to cycle through one by one (although this can be hacked back in the registry[4]).

Mac

Scrolling[edit]

Universal Scrolling is a software function within IntelliPoint that allows a scroll wheel to work with programs that do not natively support that method of input. If a program supports scroll wheels natively, the Universal Scrolling feature will generally not interfere with the native implementation.
