Features
As of PowerMate Software Version 1.5, your PowerMate has six assignable
User Actions: Rotate Right, Rotate Left, Click, Click and Rotate Right,
Click and Rotate Left, and Long Click.
Long Click is adjustable between .5 and 4 seconds via a slider bar directly
on the Control Panel/Preference Pane, and it’s activated when you press and
hold the PowerMate button for that selected length of time or longer.
The Apply Now Button immediately applies any new settings or changes
without having to close the Control Panel/Preference Pane.
A Global Only checkbox allows you to set the PowerMate to function simply
as a volume knob. There is also a direct link within the software to the
Griffin Technology website for further help and information.
Macintosh users can assign the PowerMate as an Eject Button for CDs, and
activate the onscreen and audible Volume Status display using the special
“Volume Up,” “Volume Down,” and “Volume Mute” key commands
included in the software.
They can also use Game Mode to send a continuous key command of their
choice for as long as they apply the User Action.

Go to the PowerMate Control Panel (Control Panels, under the Apple
icon). Click on Add Setting and use the navigation window to find the
desired application. Select the application, choose Open, and you’re ready
to start customizing.
Next select the User Action that you want the PowerMate to respond to,
such as Click or Rotate Left. Finally select the action you wish to send. For
example, you might choose Click under User Action and Double Click
under Computer Action, so every click of the PowerMate will send a double
click in that particular program.
