Hello,&nbsp;

I was previously using the Griffin Powermate's wheel/dial and button functionality, however I recently upgraded to the OS X El Capitan version 10.11.1 and the GetMouse function that would return a button press for this device no longer recognizes the button. I tried passing in the specific device pointer, but that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.&nbsp;

If GetMouse worked with the PowerMate then you probably used that PowerMate Manager app to set it up to emulate a mouse button? And that somehow doesn't work anymore. Maybe you need to set it up fresh with that application? Or Apple broke just another piece of 3rd party software/hardware with their new OS, who knows? Griffin's support should be able to help you with this. i'd also check if they have some new updated software for the Powermate for use with OSX 10.11.
