TetraMouse
LeftLock Utility
NOTE: This ultility was created for older models of the TetraMouse (TM03 and TM04) in order to provide drag and drop functionality. Models TM05, TM06, TM07 and TM08 do not require this utility because drag and drop functionality is built into them. Any mouse with a third button or clickable scroll wheel can use this program in a Windows environment.
The TetraMouse LeftLock utility is a small program that provides the user of
the TM03 and TM04 TetraMouse (or any other 3-button or clickable scroll wheel mouse) with
a means of performing essential drag and drop functions and drag and select
functions. This utility was created by TetraLite Products to fill the gap in Microsoft's
IntelliPoint versions 5.0 and 5.2 (for Windows XP) that do not provide an instant,
button programmable ClickLock feature. LeftLock eliminates the need to hold the clicker
joystick left (or left mouse button) for a short period of time in order to initiate the bothersome
"click and wait a second" ClickLock feature. LeftLock immediately
emulates holding the left button down when you push the clicker joystick down
(or click the middle button or clickable wheel button on scroll wheel equiped mice).
When running the LeftLock utility, an icon is
placed in the system tray near the clock on the Windows Taskbar. Right-clicking
on this icon pulls up a menu that can be used to suspend or exit LeftLock. When
suspended, the normal default (or progammed) function returns to the clicker
joystick "down" push (or middle button or wheel button on scroll mice). For
dragging and dropping, window repositioning and text selection and manipulation,
LeftLock is highly recommended. Note that using the suspend option when also
running IntelliPoint software allows you to switch between the LeftLock function
and any other function that you can program for the middle or wheel button in
the IntelliPoint Mouse Properties (in Control Panel).

Virtual Keyboard
and Other Mouse Utilities
Click-N-Type Virtual Keyboard
Puts a mouse-operated virtual keyboard on the screen. Click-N-Type from Lake
Software is the best on-screen keyboard for mouse operation that I have found.
It is freeware and there are several additional components (also free) that
can be incorporated to enhance operation. It is a very complete and configurable
program. One enhancement (Click-N-Type Designer from Polital Enterprises LLC,
listed below) allows you to redesign the keyboard layout in any manner you desire.
Very nice! Another option speaks the letters and key names as you hover over
or click on the keys.
To download, go to the Click-N-Type website: http://CNT.LakeFolks.com
Click-N-Type Designer
This software from Polital Enterprises LLC is freeware that enables the user
to design custom keyboard layouts for the Click-N-Type Virtual Keyboard program. To
download, go to the Click-N-Type Designer web page at http://polital.com/cntd
Point-N-Click
Not recommended for use with the model TM05 through TM08 TetraMouse because advanced clicking functions are built into these models. Makes advanced mouse operations more accessible for mice requiring alternative means of clicking. Another freeware program, it
can be used along with the Click-N-Type keyboard.
To download, go to the Point-N-Click website: http://www.polital.com/pnc
Click Aid
Not recommended for use with the model TM05 through TM08 TetraMouse because advanced clicking functions are built into these models. ClickAid is like the Point-N-Click program but it has fewer options and also
is freeware. It is good if you just want a few advanced mouse operations. To
download, go to the ClickAid page at http://polital.com/ca
Microsoft
IntelliPoint Mouse Drivers
This section applies ONLY to older TM03 and TM04 TetraMouse models
NOTE: Microsoft's "ClickLock" option in some of their mouse drivers is no longer needed with the TM05 TetraMouse because of the built-in click and hold features. The Microsoft mouse drivers are made available here in case you want to change your mouse driver for any reason. Some Logitech mouse drivers may not work correctly with the TetraMouse (the TetraMouse pointer moves too slowly) in which case it is recommended that you install a Microsoft mouse driver.
The ClickLock option is standard in Windows XP. To acheive the
same function in other versions of Windows you may choose to download the Microsoft
IntelliPoint mouse software for your version of Windows (links listed below)
or use the Point-N-Click program included on the TetraMouse CD which allows
the user to perform many advanced mouse operations. It is recommended that you
read the help files for the Point-N-Click program if you decide to use it. The
IntelliPoint software is preferred to Point-N-Click for achieving the ClickLock
function due to its simplicity of set up and use.
Note: The only versions recommened for use with the older model TM03 or TM04 TetraMouse are IntelliPoint
4.01 and 4.12.
Installing versions 5.0 or 5.2 retains the standard "left-click and wait
a second" ClickLock feature but does not give you an option to assign "instant"
ClickLock to any of the mouse buttons. For some reason Microsoft omitted or
forgot to provide this feature in the newer releases. The older releases (4.01
and 4.12) do not work in Windows XP.
Links for downloading IntelliPoint Drivers for ClickLock functionality
in Windows Versions Other than XP:
IntelliPoint version 4.12
For the TetraMouse this version is recommended for Windows 2000, Windows 2000
Service Pack 2, Windows 2000 Service Pack 3, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition,
Windows ME and Windows NT. Note that installing IntelliPoint 4.01 or 4.12 in
Windows XP does not seem to change the mouse driver (these version are not intended
for use with XP) so there is no point in installing this version in Windows
XP.
You may download version 4.12 at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=4348502a-61be-4072-abe2-e3fc3aa0eee6

system. It also works on Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows NT.
