Hi I just got a powermate today. It installed without any problem in 10.2. I set it for scrolling and stuff like that easily. One of my favorite 10.2 thing is the ability to zoom in and out with command+option++ and command+option+- if you have the Zoom function enabled (in universal access). Now I program the Global click turn to give me this effect. It is quite cool and you can customize the zoom in the preference option.Does anyone else have any cool ways of using the powermate? Not much on the griffin web site...

Just a few:

DVD: turn for Vol up/down and push for play/pause works a treat - especially with the long cable - it can reach the sofa!
Freehand: push to 'punch' through objects - nice feeling!
Dreamweaver: push to upload files.
Flash: turn to advance/rewind playhead, push to play.

Great product - I love that it doesn't 'wake' the screen from sleep when you use it to turn volume up or down.

Let's just get some proper drivers so it works along with an iSub in Jaguar and I'll be happy...

Use it as a spinner knob in MacMAME.
