Does this require user to switch the primary & secondary buttons in Windows Mouse Property settings or is this internal to the mouse?

No button swapping required in Windows Mouse Settings (mouse handles it internally). This is one of my favorite features of this truly "left" mouse, because the Windows Mouse Property settings aren't respected by Remote Desktop and I was constantly having to switch the properties back and forth depending on whether I was working locally or on a remote machine.

Actually if you were already using your traditional flat mouse in left-hand mode (i.e. the left button was "right"-click and the right button was "left"-click) then yes, you WILL have to go in to Control Panel and switch your mouse settings to accommodate this mouse. However, if you're transitioning from a right-hand flat mouse to this Evoluent 4 VerticalMouse, then you will NOT need to switch the buttons. Does that make sense? :)

The DPI key is just for changing the DPI. There is no software that comes with the mouse to control the DPI independently of the mouse button. You would want to be able to change DPI anyway so you can snipe better and then switch to close quarters without going out of the game to switch dpi sensitivity.

We have rollermouse free-2 working with Windows 7. We needed to modify the buttons within Windows 7

The button under the mousewheel changes the sensitivity of the mouse. You can preset 3 different dpi settings and cycle through them by pressing the button.

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

I'm not familiar with MAC a lot, but I would say that the buttons on the mouse are respond to the standard 3 and 4 buttons and if you would install any software/driver that had a configuration for more then 2 buttons, you would be able to configure them. it does not have to be a kensinngton software, it has to have an option for more than 2 button to configure.

I'm pretty sure you can only program what the buttons do in game within the game options. As far as the desktop goes, the two side buttons go back and forward (surfing the web), the top buttons change the sensitivity of the mouse, left and right click, scroll etc.

No you cannot, Once you press one button, the other appears to becomes inoperable. I just tried with Hitman Absolution and Lost Planet 3. Plus, I REALLY don't think you want to use this mouse for gaming, it simply isn't made/designed for that. You will regret buying it for that purpose.

the cursor center button cannot be remapped with the drivers that are supplied with the mouse but perhaaps this could be achieved through a third party program?

the first one is not raised, that changes modes or profiles you create with the logitech software. The second button is raised and it is programed to shift + b on default. And in other mode that button is to change the dpi of the mouse. It all depends on how you want to program the buttons.

That's a Windows thing as far as I know. I don't have this mouse anymore, but if I recall correctly, the scroll wheel of that mouse isn't a button.

Yes, you can switch the DPI with two of the buttons located under the scroll wheel.

it has the standard 2 button & wheel on top. there is a thumb-side switch marked 'DPI' but i do not know what the use is. i do not ever use that button myself. this mouse is very comfortable in the hand, easy on the wrist. it does take a bit of getting used to though, having it 'in hand' rather than hand-on.

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.

It kind of looks like one big button but this is a two button mouse. I've used it on both Macs and Windows PCs. You get the "right-click" behavior without using the control key.

I haven't tried it but have used other Logitech mice and just go under control panel/devices and printers/mouse to change it. That should work fine.

I use a software called X-mouse button control to control all the mappings of my mouse. Super useful software and best of all it's free and works with every mouse I have ever had.
