X-Mouse Button Control. I loaded it on my Windows 7 and it is working for non-gaming purposes. Thanks to Rawr for the advice.

The software is standard Logitech software. I tried it on Windows 7 and 8 and it worked with the manual cut and paste - that is either control c and control v or the edit menu commands.

Yes, buttons can be programmed through the LGS software. Macros can be made with customization timings like delayed key-presses if you'd like as well. However, to get full macro capabilities, you need to use profiles through the PC, NOT the in-mouse memory profiles.

There were/are no drivers/software that comes with the mouse. BUT what I do is use x-mouse button control utility (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm). This allows you to change ANY button assignment plus much more. Like MS Intellimouse but way better. HTH...

I have not used the included software much, but you can use the extra buttons for alot of things in individual applications, like forward/back browser keys, media controls, etc.I will check a bit later this morning to see if the software it came with offered macro options, but even if not, I would see no reason an alternate program could not use the buttons in the manner you see fit.Give me a bit, and I will research this more fully. It is a great cheapy mouse IMO

You can setup custom gestures in certain programs, I am not sure if you can use the mouse to open a program though.

You can use the mouse and button function to control the software like Snagit or Jing from Techsmith to accomplish what you want. The pointer itself does not have the software capability.

The buttons work as expected. By default after the software is installed (AlienFX Editor, AlienFX Controller, Command Center, Macro Editor, and Mouse CI) the scroll button works left and right. For example scrolling left and right in Excel.Open Mouse CI and CLICK the mouse (not the OK button). You can now pretty much configure all the features of the mouse including program the 9 buttons on the mouse :)Click Macro Manager (or launch it separately) and you can program your own pre-recorded macros. Then assign it to a key under Buttons, select the button, select the task Macro, select the Macro you recorded.I love it! The buttons work as expected.

There are instructions included with the keyboard. However your software has to be able to keep up with key combinations that are entered way faster than any human can. My one game that uses macros was not able to keep up with it and the key combination was always only half entered.

Yes. Macros are modified via the software (or use of the M1-3 and MR keys) and saved to the internal memory.

You have to dowload the mouse software in order to program it. You can find it here: http://www.cmstorm.com/en/products/peripherals/spawn/&tab;=support

There is no software that comes with the mouse. You can however get third party applications like xmouse to configure them.

I couldn't find any default software to do it, but I programmed them with a program called x-mouse button control and it works fine.

Yes, it is. If you want to do the macros and change your DPI setting just download the program off of the Asus website

the software allows you to do almost any thing that you can do mechanical, if you set it up to do a function such as ctrl+alt+w and set the function up in the other program it might be possible as you can set a button to switch programs and the macro part is quite extensive if i knew more of what you wanted to do in the software i could give you a more definitive answers.however it also depends on the second set of profiling software that you use and the application e.g some app's might work better then others depending on the amount of gui based controles eg web browsers clicking on a button is not easy but you can thell it to write a sentence where you have clicked. the software allows you to do almost any thing that you can do mechanical, if you set it up to do a function such as ctrl+alt+w and set the function up in the other program it might be possible as you can set a button to switch programs and the macro part is quite extensive if i knew more of what you wanted to do in the software i could give you a more definitive answers.however it also depends on the second set of profiling software that you use and the application e.g some app's might work better then others depending on the amount of gui based controles eg web browsers clicking on a... » Read More the software allows you to do almost any thing that you can do mechanical, if you set it up to do a function such as ctrl+alt+w and set the function up in the other program it might be possible as you can set a button to switch programs and the macro part is quite extensive if i knew more of what you wanted to do in the software i could give you a more definitive answers.however it also depends on the second set of profiling software that you use and the application e.g some app's might work better then others depending on the amount of gui based controles eg web browsers clicking on a button is not easy but you can thell it to write a sentence where you have clicked. « Show Less

It can be programmed using the software, but in all honesty this mouse is not worth it. The tracking on it cuts out quite frequently. It just sits in a drawer now because it is too frustrating to use.

The Logitech gaming mouse software that allow you to program buttons does include volume up and volume downin the Button functions - which are the easiest items to assing to buttons. ( not that the other item - Keystrokes and MAcros are much harder)I am using gaming software version 8.46. having 16 Button functions; the ability to assign keystrokes to a button and the ability to assign macros to a button. ( should pretty much allow you to do anything you like with a mouse button)
