Easy to install driver software package designed to provide support for different Microsoft mouse models, and to help you customize their behavior.

Using a Microsoft mouse with your Apple computer is not only possible, but also advisable if you need more than the standard buttons and scroll wheel.

Microsoft Mouse (IntelliPoint) is a simple driver package that makes sure your Mac is able to communicate efficiently with most Microsoft mouse models, and enables you to personalize the behavior of each button, the pointer or scrolling speed, and more.

Effortless to install driver package designed to provide support for Microsoft mouse models

The Microsoft Mouse (IntelliPoint) software archive comes with its own installer package that is capable to check for newer versions and requires minimal user interaction. However, you must be able to provide the administrator password, and you must restart the computer to complete the process.

You have the option to manage the Microsoft Mouse (IntelliPoint) capabilities via a simple preferences pane that will be added to your System Preferences window: in a tabbed interface, you can easily make modifications regarding the mouse buttons, or the pointer or scrolling precision.

Create custom settings for each application installed on your Mac

By default, you will start by modifying the mouse functions at a global level: you can assign new features to each button, to adjust the pointer speed, to enable the vertical or accelerated scrolling, or to change the vertical scrolling speed.

In addition, you can create a new profile for any of the apps installed on your Mac, and make the same adjustments: the difference is the modification will become active only when operating within the target application. This is extremely useful if you want to improve your workflow by assigning frequently used functions to a mouse button.

The Microsoft IntelliPoint software is a set of drivers for mouse that along with other things provide the ability to assign specific functions to each button including user defined macros. This application is not very compatible with others (even with Intellitype) and if you use of plat to use clipboard managers like ,ArsClip, or macrorecorders like AutoHotkey is is better be avioded.

Intellipoint is not very compatible with others (even with Intellitype) and if you use of plat to use clipboard managers like , ArsClip, or macrorecorders like AutoHotkey is is better be avioded.

Structurally it is very similar to Microsoft IntelliType and probably shares codebase. So if you use Intellitype you can instantly use Intellipoint (althouth generally you probably should not because of incompatibility problems ;-). I wonder who was this Microsoft PHB who ordered it to be a separate application and why Intellitype can't support mouse as well.

The only situation when Intellipoint makes sense is when it is installed alone (and you just have Microsoft mouse). This situation exists probably only for entry level users.

How to assign and use macros

Macros are sequences of events (such as keystrokes, mouse clicks, and delays) that can be recorded and later played back to help perform repetitive tasks. They can also be used to replay sequences that are long or difficult to execute. You can assign a macro that is recorded in IntelliPoint to a key or to a mouse button.
IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint macros use an '.mhm' extension and are saved as individual files in your default DocumentsMicrosoft HardwareMacros subfolder. Macros that are recorded in IntelliType Pro and IntelliPoint are interchangeable. You can run them or edit them from either program.

Caution Do not save passwords or other sensitive information in macros.

Create a macro in IntelliPoint

  1. Start IntelliPoint.
