Bella Corporation ships the HD Mouse 2.0 and JSM 3.1 for its jog/shuttle keyboards (14/12/2009)

Bella Corporation today announced they are shipping version 2.0 software for the HD Mouse and version 3.1 software drivers are now available for their award winning jog/shuttle keyboards.

HD Mouse Overview

The wireless HD Mouse delivers the ultimate multimedia experience, providing exciting capabilities not found in any other mouse. Using patented technology in Bella’s exclusive HD software, mouse movements (X and Y axis) can be defined to provide intuitive gesture-type control, such as transforming the HD Mouse into a jog/shuttle controller for video editing enthusiasts. Gamers and power users will appreciate being able to program any keystroke, combination keystroke or series of keystrokes (macros) to any of the buttons, scroll wheel or mouse movement.

HD Mouse 2.0 New Features:

* A five button mouse becomes a 50 button mouse: modifier keys can now be combined with mouse clicks, enabling as many as 48 options on Windows and 96 unique click options on Apple Mac systems.
* Mouse clicks can be programmed into macros.
* User Profiles: up to three user profiles can be stored to accommodate additional users or multiple settings for a single application.
* Multiple ways to enter HD Mode: Scroll click (original method), Side Button 1 or Side Button 2.
* HD Mode notification icon: user selectable sizes and position provides valuable mode feedback.
* Windows key disabling: In HD Mode, the Windows key can be disabled so that it is not accidentally pressed during game play.
* Timeout function: If the mouse is inactive in HD Mode for a period of time (2, 5 and 10 minutes) it will automatically switch back to ‘standard’ mouse mode.

HD Mouse 2.0 Enhancements

* Windows 7/Mac 10.6 compatible
* On Screen Display (OSD): you can now choose to display the movement arrows just vertically, horizontally or both horizontally and vertically.
* A new programmable button, the Scroll Wheel click down. The Scroll wheel click down may now be programmed as long as you’ve chosen to enter HD Mode by one of the side buttons.
* More precise tracking while playing games such as World of Warcraft.
* HD Mouse program interface highlights your last active app, making it easier to make sure your settings are correct.
* On-screen display is automatically disabled when entering full screen mode of some games and applications that require exclusive access to the graphics card.
