Overview

The Orbita Mouse configuration software allows you to customise the operation of the Orbita Mouse to suit the way you work with particular applications.

Simply create profiles for the applications you want to customize. When you're ready to use that application, load the profile and your Orbita Mouse will behave exactly how you want it to. With this customization power setting up horizontal scrolling in a spreadsheet or even completely changing the mouse into a media centre controller is easy.

Basic Settings

Basic Settings allow general configuration including button swapping, scroll speed and direction, Dimple Button Mode, pointer speed and double click speed.

Advanced Settings*

Advanced Settings allow a sophisticated range of options for mapping the output of the Orbita Mouse to various mouse, keyboard, multimedia and multi-axis controller data streams. These options are useful for integrating the Orbita Mouse into specialised software applications; or where it is intended to be used in addition to a separate mouse, for non-mouse functions.

* Advanced settings are supported for Windows only at this time.
