Application Switcher!? Isn't that like... System 6? Do you mean Expose?

Anyway, you SHOULD be able to change the setting in the Logitech Control Center.

But you could also check the Exposé and Spaces preference pane. Make sure that no mouse button is assigned to exposé, if that's what you want.

(that's what I think you mean by "Application Switcher")

I'm using the Logitech V470, and haven't had anything of the sort override the mappings in the Control Centre. Have you tried the Apple (and/or Logitech) support forums as well on this issue ?

I have that screen on my LCC and can reassign click designations. The problem is that anything assigned to "middle mouse click" brings up the annoying application navigator bar. For example, if I rearrange my left mouse button to "middle mouse click," my left button pops the bar.

I guess I'm looking for the control panel for the navigation bar so I can change or delete its hotkeys.

I have a Logitech mouse at work that doesn't give me these issues, so perhaps it's isolated the the MX Laser mouse series. I haven't had much luck browsing their support forums.

to tell the truth, I'd uninstall LCC. Logitech makes reallly poor software for Mac.

If you can, you might want to write to Logitech as an after-the-fact. Who knows, they might actually pay attention and improve their future software.

Why on earth would they do that now?

Have you ever been on their forums? There are two or three threads full of very unhappy customers who bitterly complain about the short-comings of their mouse driver/software. They do diddly-squat.

Hells bells, I use an MX 518 gaming mouse, and their software doesn't function correctly for it, in Windows XP!!!!

Damn, I wasn't aware of that. No really, I wasn't! When it comes to printers and scanners, I can usually point out who's going to give me driver and software headaches. As far as peripherals, Logitech didn't strike me as a one of these guys. If you say even for Win their software is turd-astic, I've learned something today.

And no, never been to their forums. Futile, I guess, is what you're saying. For a Swiss company, I would have expected better.

The hardware works well. It's thier control software that seems to suck air. Except for the MX Revolution I purchased. I couldn't get it to stop freewheeling on the scroll wheel, even though I did everything they said. Steermouse and USB Overdrive didn't have the specific support for that feature, though Steermouse does now. I took it back. Went with a Kensington Ci60. Kensington software is only marginally better, but I know Steermouse and USB Overdrive will control it.

Microsoft's mouse control works the same way, so Apple isn't doing anything out of the ordinary. The third-party mouse controllers are much superior to the run of the mill controllers offered by the OS, either OS.
