It keeps getting turned off after a full power down. Through a sleep cycle it's ok.

experiencing exact same problem here. prefs not holding after restart. LazyMouse defaults to OFF. I can turn on from prefpane and it works like normal. But after restarting the system LazyMouse is off and can only be manually started from prefpane. Perhaps the immediate workaround is an applescript or automator workflow?

same here. :( like that app.
but unfortunately it looks like the app is no longer under development and we will not see an update.
meanwhile I use SteerMouse. http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/download.html

There's an applescript for that! I just wrote it.

put this in the applescript editor and save as an app…then in system prefs ad the app to your user account startup items:

tell application "System Preferences"
activate
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click menu item "LazyMouse" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 0
tell window "LazyMouse"
click checkbox 2 of group 1
delay 0
end tell
end tell
end tell

update to above script (to automatically quit system prefs after the toggle)

tell application "System Preferences"
activate
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click menu item "LazyMouse" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 0
tell window "LazyMouse"
click checkbox 2 of group 1
delay 0
end tell
end tell
end tell

tell application "System Preferences"
quit
end tell
