CM Inferno - Software

The software follows the same red-black theme set by the box, and looks a bit messy. All the features can be found fairly easily, but maybe they could have added a couple more tabs to make the main view a bit less cluttered? Anyway on the first page one can set the five different DPI-levels, which can be adjusted individually for Y- and X-axis. On the right edge are drop-menus for the button actions. On the left is the profile-selection and settings for mouse speed, double click speed and even button response time.

Storm tactic tab gives a choice to use the buttons as quick-launch keys. These work by pressing and holding the storm tactic key (the third thumb button) and pressing one or two keys simultaneously. For some reason this tab also has settings for the scroll wheel speed and the leds. The leds can either be set to be on or off, and there are also settings to make the logo pulsate and the front leds blink when the mouse1-button is pressed.

The macro editor is the usual kind of affair with a 256 press memory.

Beside the macro editor there's also a script editor for making even more custom commands. This is something new for a mouse driver, and can probably be used for something. I just couldn't figure any use for it.

Pre-made macros and scripts can be shared with other Inferno-owners and the library-tab gives control to importing and exporting them.
