Is there a way to reprogram the buttons on the left side of the mouse? I'd like to reverse them, so the forward button is the "go-back" button.

Try X-Mouse Control at http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm

Yes, The wheel is the fifth button, press down on the wheel and the browser goes back to the last screen. This is default. You can program that and the 2 side buttons to almost what you need.

Why do people who don't have any answers bother responding? I haven't tried reprogramming the buttons, but I did see that the folks at thehumansolution.com said they had some trouble programming the buttons. They prefer a different ergo mouse alternative called the Mousetrapper, which looks pretty interesting.

Yes. Actually Justin, the question asker, has the answer in his Review. Out of the box the Back and Forward mouse buttons don't work, but if you use BetterTouchTool, you can add custom key bindings to those buttons and map them to any action (including Back and Forward) you want! You can download it here: http://www.boastr.net/ The assigned actions you want are 3F Swipe Left (Page Back) and 3F Swipe Right (Page Forward) thats under "Predefined Actions" -&gt; "Mimicking standard gestures"

so far ive been able to keybind them to whatever i want in games, most games i play are like guild wars 2, blacklight retribution and rts titles like starcraft. all of which had no problems of remapping the side buttons

I am sorry S G. I have never used a mouse with buttons on the side. But, I did some research and talked to a "techie" friend for some info. The two side buttons control the page turns on the computer. Left button is for left and right button for right. Those who have the touch screen computers use them for productivity sake. Hope this helps.

I believe only buttons and shuttle mappings back to the keyboard. I don't think you can program mouse movements.

Yes, the same mouse can be used for left hand also. The software provided by then has a setting change that will flip the right mouse (default setting) to left mouse.However, we can change this in the regular windows settings in control panel.

Just download and install the software from Logitech website. Use it to change the programming of the buttons...

Hi, Cynthia. Not sure what you mean by programming the buttons for other commands, as I've never done that. The roller bar is used for the same purposes as your mouse, but you use only one finger (I use my index finger) as opposed to using your hand to grip the mouse. I have found that I have to pay attention not to get lazy and let my wrists rest on the pads in front of the keyboard as I'm typing, as that compression does not help my carpal tunnel situation. Except for the unique "mouse", I find the keyboard the same as any other. Hope this helps a little bit. Kathy Z.

The forward button is the regular button you use to open pages, but if you mean a button you press to go forwarded after hitting the back button without hitting the forward link again with your pointer, then no, I do not think it does. I'm going off memory here, so I could be wrong. It is not a bad mouse and you'll find, unless they are making better compact bluetooth mouses now, that most don't even have a back button, so it is kind of a luxury for the price point.

Hm. I'm starting to wonder if you play DayZ.Anyway, yes. Any of the buttons on the mouse can be remapped to any function (such as a keystroke or macro) that you wish via the included configuration software. I'm kind of surprised I haven't done that yet, myself.

Yes and no. You can configure the middle click button using Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center to work as either a back or forward button. Unfortunately it can only be one.

Yes. Download "X Mouse Button Control". You can program the buttons and change the speed. I haven't been able to reprogram the DPI button.. anyone have any luck with that one?

Sorry I do not know. Why would you ever want to go back to a mouse after a trackball?

not ACTUALLY programmable if i'm not mistaken. the wired version (the one i have) has 5 buttons if you include l/r/m as buttons. the only two "extra" are on the left side for your thumb. most games bind actions to them without a problem however.

Yes, in games like Skyrim and oblivion I have the side buttons mapped to different functions. I haven't figured out if you can program the buttons outside of game play. By default they are mapped to go back and forward on web pages.
