El Capitan and Microsoft Mouse (IntelliPoint) Not Working

i tried this website, it is not free. There is a cost of $20. I can buy a new apple mouse for $12, I love intellipoint. Should I just bite the bullet and pay?

Please read my answer once again. I said it's a shareware:

"It's a shareware and is free forever. The only limitation is a popup notifcation to upgrade when you start your computer.

I havent upgraded yet but it's something that I will consider if MS didn't solve the issue."

But you can use the software without any limitation. If you want to disable that popup it costs $20. As I said, I might consider after using it for a while. As of now, I feel that popup is not that annoying as it happens only one time after starting up. It won;t popu again until we start the PC. But it appears again when we try to access its settings from System Preferences (again I assume it's totally ok).

I might ahve bought its license but I bought SteerMouse earlier but realized that USB O can replace SteerMouse as well.. It can customize the keyboard as well as mouse.

Anyway, just try this one. It worked better than IntelliType at least for me.

Ok this totally works. Thank you!

My setup:

Mac Mini 2012

Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000

MS dongle plugged into Belkin 7 port USB hub

Mac OS El Capitan 10.11

Just upgraded to El Capitan and had basic mouse functionality. Googled a bit and found this thread. 

Did a restart and into Recovery Mode. Couldn't get into Recovery at first so then I hooked up a stock Apple wired keyboard and was able to get in.

Launched Terminal and typed

csrutil disable

Hit Return

Typed:

reboot

Once the mac started up it didn't work right away so I unplugged the USB dongle and plugged it back in. And then everything started working!! I could change the Microsoft shortcuts, wheel scroll and Mouse speed. My mouse is still plugged into the USB hub and not my Mac. Which is perfect for my setup. Save your money folks this works. Thanks again to Matt B and others.

Yes!  Thanks!  Isn't it great one can at least do that...and the mute, volume, and play/stop button still work...I guess that's standard...my temporary solution is to use Keyboard Maestro to program the F1-F13 keys to the Hotkeys I used to use...but, I hope that MS eventually updates the mouse *and* keyboard driver for El Capitan!

I've got the exact same mouse and it the solution did not work for me either.  Also tried USB overdrive but it doesn't quite match what microsoft has.  It just doesn't feel right.  I can't get the acceleration to match the speed so I can't control the cursor as I've been accustomed to over the years.
