Can this mouse be completely stationary? In other words, can I move the cursor and do all other functions without moving the mouse itself? Thanks.

They have a separate product for that : Logitech Rechargeable Trackpad for Mac

No, to move the cursor the mouse must move. In settings you can control the speed it moves. This thing is a great little mouse that functions very well. Quick recharging and compact. Slip in pocket and take it where ever. All other functions are controlled by finger/fingers sliding on surface. Works very well in Windows 8.1

As far as I can tell the cursor does not move unless the mouse moves. The gestures with one or two fingers work with the mouse stationary but the cursor stays fixed.

Not really, it moves the cursor and left/right/scroll buttons click but no further customization. Logitech has some decent ones that provide mac drivers and you get to use/map the extra buttons. I have a second one of these at home now since I switched to a mac at work and swapped to a logitech. Shrug, great mouse but only worth it for windows.

I think all mice snap to each line to some extint. The motion is fairly smooth however. So the answer is yes but in smooth increments.

No. The mouse is a 2 button mouse with a touch sensitive surface to scroll vertically and horizontally. The Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard application has some features to reprogram the button functions, but it may not work in all applications.I wouldn't recommend using the mouse for an extended period of time because it's not comfortable at all. It's a "pocket mouse". I carry a large USB mouse in my bag for when I need to do actual work.

I would say Cecelia A. Lawshe's answer is very close to mine. The wheel can only scroll up and down. If you want to move sideways, you can click on the left side of the mouse. This particular mouse (HP Silver/Carbon USB) can pretty much go anywhere you want it to. Just move it around and click or move the wheel and go up and down. It's quite nice, actually.

The mouse cannot scroll horizontally. If you middle-click, you might get an application-specific cursor that allows you to pan around the screen--this may *appear* to be horizontal scrolling, but it is not from the mouse itself.

The scroll wheel has a number of functions: 1. Rotate wheel to scroll up-down - works fine 2. Moving the wheel left/right (clicks left/right) to scroll left/right - works fine 3. Pressing down (click down) - this is the tricky operation because if you don't press directly downwards there is a good chance you will inadvertently activate the left/right scroll feature. The required down force is also somewhat more than the needed for the other buttons. I think that this is the nature of this mouse.

I got one for my daughter, and she says "yes, but it takes a lot of coordination.. if you touch the corner on accident, the mouse curser will jump to the corner of your monitor." I personally have no experience, but thought I'd pass it on.

I don't use a mouse with mine, if that is what you mean. As far as I am aware, you cannot touch the screen and use it.

One thing I notice is that the mouse seems to become unresponsive after a set period of time. However, all I have to do is perform a left click and it comes back online. I have rarely (if not never?) had a problem where I need to pull the USB receiver out of the computer to get it to work again.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

Nope. Only vertical. I see this as a plus that it can't do horizontal scrolling and is one of the main reasons I purchased this mouse.

Well I myself almost always use a mouse. But the response from Becky seems helpful. She says it can, by pressing (Fn and F7 simultaneously. It's worth a try!!

It rarely happens to me but I make sure the mouse pad under the mouse is in a stable position and not tilted. And/or just make sure the mouse is stopped altogether when you are not using it, I understand that when you are in a hurry to lift your hand off of the mouse it can still be moving by the action of you hand being in a hurry. Hope these suggestions help.

I think it can be used as normal mouse in Mac without any specify behavior like scroll, etc. Because the software IntelliPoint is only for Windows.

Has anyone tried holding down the shift key when using scroll wheel? That works just fine scrolling left to right on my 2007 DotMouse. I would be curious to know results as I need to replace the DotMouse with something similar.

I rarely use the mouse except when editing documents. Have noticed that the mouse performance seems to vary between different programs. Would try variety of browsers and see if that makes a difference! All of my devices are behaving badly today. Ready to revert to stone tablet and chisel!!! :-/ Good luck to you, and happy holidays!
