This version is based on the latest code base of the UPDD driver and significantly for Mac introduces a native Mac installer. The native installer only works on Mac OS X 10.6 and above. If you want to specify an alternative TUIO port or start the application from the command line, just type: java -jar TuioMouse.jar port (substitute with the desired UDP port number) TuioMouse will use the first available TuioCursor as the principal mouse pointer.
How do I grip the DXT mouse?
Start by placing the tip of the ring finger over the black plastic triangular area beneath the bottom click button. The remaining finger tips and thumb will naturally position themselves on the first half of the front and back mouse surfaces, respectively, with the pinkie finger tucked in. The fingers should be comfortably curled (e.g. holding a pen) versus extended or lying flat.
The resulting hand and finger posture facilitates precision movements and avoids the fingers being placed one upon the other and coming into contact with the cable. It should be noted that the body of the mouse is not placed parallel to the side of the keyboard but at an angle to the side of the keyboard.

The DXT is designed to work on all USB operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Confirm the mouse has a battery charge. The mouse will flash the L/R LEDs when the battery is low.

The L/R LEDs will illuminate steady when the batter is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the L/R LEDs will turn off.
