Part 1: Introduction Overview Thank you for purchasing the RollerMouse Pro, the latest version of the RollerMouse line of computer “mousing” devices. While maintaining all of the award winning features of the original RollerMouse, the new RollerMouse Pro has been upgraded to an 800 dpi optical sensor for more precise cursor control, greater exposure of the rollerbar for ease of access, and two additional buttons for even more functionality.
In addition to the two default settings, the RollerMouse Pro also includes software that allows the user to create custom button configurations. The configurations can then be assigned to the default setting the RollerMouse Pro uses, or associated with specific applications. In this regard, the RollerMouse Pro would use a different button configuration depending on the application that is currently being used. WARNING: Please keep in mind the RollerMouse Pro software is purely supplemental.
If the RollerMouse Pro is not functioning properly, please consult the Trouble Shooting section at the end of the User’s Guide or contact Contour Design’s customer service department. Installing the Software NOTE: The RollerMouse Pro software is only compatible when plugged into a USB port using Windows 2000, XP, or 2003. WARNING: Other mouse software can interfere with the installation or use of the RollerMouse Pro software.
Opening the RollerMouse Pro Control Panel You can gain access to the RollerMouse Control Panel by using any of the following methods: 1. From the Start menu, select Programs -> Contour Mouse -> Contour Mouse Configuration. 2. From the Start menu, select Control Panel then double click on the Contour Mouse icon. 3.
Part 2: Contour Mouse Control Panel Components Motion Tab The Motion Tab displays whenever the Contour Mouse Control Panel is opened. This tab allows the user to modify the speed and acceleration of the cursor, as well as the speed at which the cursor moves when then end detection is triggered. Cursor sensitivity sets the overall speed of the cursor. If the slide is moved to the right, the cursor will move faster and travel farther with each movement of the rollerbar.
Buttons & Wheel The Buttons & Wheel tab replaces the switch, located on the underside of the RollerMouse, which was used to toggle between the Standard and Internet mode. This Buttons & Wheel tab also allows the user to create additional default modes that can then be selected to replace the Standard or Internet mode. Finally, the user is able to modify the button configurations of the Standard and Internet modes, as well as any additional default modes that have been created.
3. In the Default Layout section, assign each button one function from the button’s drop-down men. NOTE: At all times, at least one button must be assigned the Primary Click function. Pressing down on the rollerbar activates the single click mechanism. This is the rollerbar. Its primary function is to control the onscreen positioning of the cursor.
Application Specific Tab The Application Specific tab allows the user to create RollerMouse Pro button layouts that will automatically activate and replace the default layout any time the user opens a specific application. While these custom layouts can be associated with any application, only the scroll wheel, scroll button, fourth button, and fifth button can be assigned new functions. All other buttons maintain the layout from the currently selected default mode.
Control Panel. Selecting the Cancel button will abandon any modifications made after the previous application of the Apply or OK buttons.
About If a user wishes to reset the RollerMouse Pro software back to the original factory settings, they may select the Reset button in the Other tab. A warning will display, prompting the user to confirm that they do indeed wish to revert to the factory settings. Once this is confirmed, any and all custom default layouts and application specific layouts will be deleted. Part 3: Removing the RollerMouse Pro software Note: This process cannot be undone.

Q: The rollerbar moves the mouse cursor, but it will not produce a click event. A: Check the orange circular tension knob on the underside of the RollerMouse Pro to make sure it is fully inserted. The tension knob can sometimes partially dislodge and needs to be pushed back in. Also, make sure the switch is in the down position (Standard mode) if the RollerMouse Pro software is not being used.
