I turned off the Karabiner setting I had created, and scrolling now correctly works vertically.except the thumb buttons do nothing, since LCC was handling the functions of those buttons.
Figuring I had nothing to lose, I tried uninstalling the Logitech Control Center software and after rebooting, scrolling was back to horizontal on the mini.
I then tried installed Karabiner on the host Mac Pro and created a custom bit that got the scroll wheel going vertically on the mini, but it was like scrolling through molasses. (It's a two-way wheel that does not tilt side-to-side, so it should always be scrolling vertically.) I did, however, figure out that the scroll wheel is working - it's just scrolling horizontally instead of vertically.
Any ideas? Or alternatives to Sharemouse? (My "free maintenance" time is up and I would have to purchase another license to get an updated version, and I don't like that they want $50 instead of $20 just because I have three monitors.)Īfter trying a bunch of tools to modify the scroll wheel's behavior, such as Karabiner and BetterTouchTool, with no change, I realized that the way Sharemouse controls the "remote" computer (mini) is through Accessibility, and so probably doesn't fire the normal events for those applications to catch and modify, therefore I'd probably need to adjust the events that were actually firing on the host computer before Sharemouse intercepted them and passed them to the remote computer. I tried plugging the USB receiver directly into a USB port on the computer, instead of into the keyboard, but that didn't make any difference. We will be using the /q (quiet mode) /f (force delete read only files) /s (delete files in a subdirectory) switches for del. Run the following commands in command line to delete temporary files in the following folders. I tried installing the Logitech Control Center software on the mini, but since the USB receiver isn't actually plugged into that computer, it doesn't even recognize that a Logitech mouse is "attached" to it. Using command line to delete the files saves on time and can happen silently so as not to disturb users working in Windows. Everything else with the keyboard and mouse still works. Since changing mice, the mouse's scroll wheel no longer works on the "remote" mini (neither do the new thumb buttons, but I can live without those).
I use Sharemouse v2.0.53 to virtually share the mouse and keyboard between the Pro and a 2012 Mac mini. I recently changed from a wired Logitech Trackman Wheel to a wireless Logitech M570 Trackball (which has a USB receiver plugged into the USB port on an Apple wired keyboard) that is physically plugged into an early 2009 Mac Pro.
