    From: The third most...
    I just got MOS 3.1 installed on a Mac mini, and so far haven't had any problems. I would like to swap the buttons on my mouse for left-handed use, but the option in the mouse prefs is labeled for PS2 mice only. I went ahead and clicked it just to see if it would work anyway, but no luck.

    Is there a way to swap the buttons around on a USB mouse? I suppose I could take it apart and physically change the button wiring, but I was hoping for a solution in software first...

    Any commoditiy on Aminet doing this job should work perfectly on MorphOS.

    Just tried LeftyMouse from Aminet and it works. It comes even with source code.

    Hum, i presume it's also possible with Poseidon settings. I'll check this next week.

    For all mice:
    MorphOS Prefs -> USB -> Classes -> HID class -> Configure (button) -> Menu Quick Setup -> Mouse Swap LMB <-> RMB -> Save defaults

    For a specific mouse:
    MorphOS Prefs -> USB -> Devices -> your mouse -> Settings (button) -> Menu Quick Setup -> Mouse Swap LMB <-> RMB -> Save
