Think the Mac OS X scroll bars are fiddly? Find your laptop track pad difficult to use? Suffer from RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome? MaxiMice is your friend.

MaxiMice takes the clicks out of scrolling views and dragging windows. Move the mouse pointer near the edge of a view and it scrolls. Move it closer to the edge and the scrolling speeds up. Or just hold down a modifier key to move or scroll the window under the cursor.

If your mouse lacks a scroll wheel, find out just how convenient scrolling can be. If your mouse has a scroll wheel, discover how much work your finger actually does.

Here are some key features of "MaxiMice":
MaxiMice is available in every Cocoa application in your system. If a program supports Input Managers, it supports MaxiMice.
Scroll by moving the mouse pointer near the edge of a scroll view. The closer to the edge, the faster the scrolling.
Hold down configurable modifier keys and move the mouse to move or scroll the window under the mouse pointer.
Configure MaxiMice on a per application basis. Make the scrolling slow in iPhoto and fast in Safari. Enable dragging in Mail but not in TextEdit.
Change MaxiMice's settings in an easy to use and intuitive System Preferences pane.

Limitations:
2-week trial.

What's New:
Fixed a conflict with Apple's Safari.
Fixed a conflict with CocoaTech's Path Finder.
Several performance enhancements.
