Re: setting orientation on each axis independently? Posted Nov 26, 2004 by Ashley Ings I’ve managed to set the orientation for the up/down axis.

Once you’ve installed MouseWare and configure you mouse, go into the registry.

Now depending on what kind of mouse you have cordless or hard wired you should have and entry under: Under hkey_local_machinesystemCurrentControlSetServiceL8042pr2Parameters I have installed a cordless mouse so the next key is CordlessOptical20000

Under this key there is an entry that set what kind of mouse you have called: DeviceModel. If you set this to TrackMan4 and start up the mouse configuration ,from the control panel or the SystemTray (right on the taskbar) you will see a new tab called ‘Orientation’. With this you can reverse the Y axis by dragging in the direction you desire. So to give you the complete reg entry for my installtion of a cordless optical mouse it was:

There will be a similar one explaining your DeviceModel if you use the MouseWare install:

hkey_local_machinesystemCurrentControlSetServiceL8042pr2ParametersCordlessOptical20000DeviceModel

Hope it helps – Ashley 26th Nov 2004

According to the readme it’s a trial version which “automatically deactivates after a random amount of time after each machine restart”.
What is the point of installing that if it’s going to just stop working without warning?
I’d say that this is an unsolved problem…

This way you can test the driver under real conditions before you buy. The registration fee is as low as US$10, currently.</p> @maffu: Of course not your mouse will stop working, but the driver will stop inverting the y-axis.
