Mac OS 10.10.3 here too but VRPC is version 1.7.5. I went straight from Mac
OS 10.6 to 10.10 and thought I needed to upgrade VRPC to work properly with
anything higher than Mac OS 10.9, but maybe not. 

The 'Scroll Pea' is the official term for the pimple on the Mac mouse (was
the Mighty Mouse, I think) used for scrolling and previously the middle
button for VRPC. I've always called it the pimple, but that tends to annoy
the afficionados! What do you use?
