X-Mouse Button Control is a windows application to remap your mouse buttons. This software was orriginally designed and written for Microsoft Windows XP/2003 and later x64 editions but I have also, from version 1.5, built a 32bit version that supports all 32bit versions of windows from Windows 2000. The installation kit determins which OS you are running and therefore which version to install automatically.

Kavoom! KM is like a hardware keyboard-mouse switch (a KVM switch with no video connected), allowing you to operate two or more computers using a single keyboard and mouse. You transfer control from one computer to another by moving the mouse pointer off the edge of the screen towards the other monitor. Or you can use hot keys to switch back and forth.

StrokesPlus is a mouse gesture recognition program that allows you to automate repetitive tasks by simply drawing a gesture with your mouse or performing mouse and/or keyboard modifiers to fire off an action sequence.

Mouse gestures are well known in alternative browsers such as Opera and Firefox but the new Add-ons for Internet Explorer have made this extremely useful utility possible and Mouse Gestures for Internet Explorer is one example.

New version! - If you've ever used a multiple monitor equipped PC, then you can imagine how Multiplicity works. Each monitor is connected to its own PC. When the user moves the mouse over to a given monitor, the user is then controlling that PC.

New version! -Operate all of your computers from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Kavoom! KVM is like a hardware KVM switch except that the "switch" appears on your monitor, and you use the mouse to select which computer to operate.

Mouse and Keyboard Center helps you personalize and customize how you work on your PC. Tailor your mouse and keyboard to meet your unique needs and work style. Modify your mouse and keyboard settings to make it easier to use the unique features of most PC apps. View and change basic and application-specific settings for all connected devices in one place.

This slipped in under my radar last week – the Microsoft Touch Mouse will be updated for Windows 8. More updates to come on that so stay tuned to the  Microsoft Hardware blog for more.
