Features
The Cirque EasyCatTM AG touchpad makes it easier and more comfortable than ever to control your computer.

USBOVERDRIVE FOR MACINTOSH SHAREWARE APPLICATION INFORMATION
Users that wish to customize their input devices on the Macintosh platform may find the USBOverdrive utility, created by Alessandro Levi Montalcini of interest. This shareware utility has been reported to augment the capabilities of the touchpad and allow for more customization of the touchpad features.
Cirque Corporation has tested their USB GlidePoint products with the USBOverdrive utility on a limited basis. The USBOverdrive utility should enable vertical scrolling capability, and the two side button functionality in addition to augmenting overall control of pointer motion.
