SteelSeries WOW MMO Gaming Mouse MAC Discussion

to all on this discussion i already have my WOW mouse received it 05.03.08 and i preordered it the day it was available on GameStop.com.

also about the mac thing. SteelSeries is a Professional Gaming Gear company the develop their products with Gaming teams. Not many games are available for mac and most of the ones that are are ports from pc where the server setup among other things its totally different. thus the professional gaming community plays on windows. this mouse wont be incompatible with mac it will just assign the default buttons to it. the max programmed into os now is 5 so the others act oddly in win vista probably the same on mac. also you dont need this mouse to play wow you might want to get a good gaming mouse both logitech and razer make select mouse for mac because i nice mouse does wonders not only for your gaming. also this mouse isnt only compatible with wow. the software that comes with it just stupid proofs wow integration. i personally will be using it for MMO's and RTS's and FPS's plus many others but one will not be World Of Warcraft

heres a post on FragYou SteelSeries unofficial blog about how to use the MMO mouse and its software:

Mac???

The website doesn't discuss Mac. I.e. my guess is if you plug it in then it will behave like a two-button mouse. But did they bother to right a Mac version of the config software? One would expect so in 2008; but a lot of second-tier vendors still fail to do so.

Anyone know?

I saw the vendor at Blizzcon 08 and asked him about Mac support. According to him, SteelSeries will support the Mac and release the WoW app and drivers after the initial release. I could not pin him down on an exact date but my guess will be about a month later.

I asked their tech support before preordering since I also play on a Mac, and the rep told me shortly after the first of the year will we see Mac Support. I can't wait.

Hey, I hope you are still around in the blogworld!
I've had this the official WoW gaming mouse for a year now on my mac and i still cant find a way to use all buttons or customize the led and so on. In the interface menu in WoW there is a button to check which says "Detect World of Warcraft Gaming Mouse" - when i check this I get a error; "World of Warcraft Gaming Mouse could not be found. Re-enable the option in Interface Options when you have one connected".
I've tried everything but I am hoping I missed something while googling for this, do you know of any way to make it work? Thanks alot in advance.
