Three mouse buttons where supported right from the start (March this year). It doesn't matter what kind of mouse it is -- to the USB it all looks the same. E.g. I'm using a wireless mouse & keyboard.

And for the wheel support: I do not know, if it works particularily with your mouse. But there is a lot more to connect to the USB anyway. And some time later this year, there will be the generic HID class to support all wheels and buttons etc. whatever the mouse/tablet/keyboard/magic carpet features.

@ikir

For what ? I don't have a HighWay (and that would have come with
a registered version anyway), you should know what I think about
Elbox and AFAIK I will get a full version with my next computer.

Not sure what Chris plans, but I'm quite sure that updates will
be free for the time being.

@Kronos
mmmm

How do you think about this product? You are a "5 stars" amigans, tell me you opinion. Is it a good software?

I may wait... :-?   BUT I WANT AN OPTICAL MOUSE :-)

The stack seems to be good but I just don't like the way Elbox
handled the spider-deal. AFAIR you have an A1200 ?

Got any space for a SubWay ? Thats the one (or the HighWay)
a "real" Amigian wants  ;-)

And you won't even loose a PCI-slot

@ Kronos

I have 2 pci slot free :-)    My father steel tv-card from my amiga :-x


I don't have too much space, and i don't like cards which plug into clock port. If i have had zorro2, i should buy highway.
