It's OK, but why does it needs to call home every start of app (or it goes to expired). Using LinearMouse instead.

The newest version (v.1.5.3332) is a major revision, and it's great. This is now the best mouse utility IMO. As jaythemacguy, I've also found the developer to be very responsive.

The app does what it says and the price is reasonable. The best part: I noticed a bug and the developer was super quick to jump on the issue and address it!
