How many buttons does this have? I use an intellimouse right now with the back button that can be hit with your thumb, is there something similar?

It has 2 click/push surfaces like on the top front of a mouse, a roller wheel between them, a small DPI button, and forward and reverse type buttons on the left side/upper area - for paging through webpages, etc. And an on and off slider button on the bottom.Bob YutzyShasta, CA

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.

Yes... Very similar in design. You would like it. That was critical for me as well.

The Perixx PERIMICE-713 has (5) buttons, laid out in a similar fashion to most modern mice: (2) buttons accessible by the index and middle finger (i.e. the typical left and right mouse click buttons,) the scroll wheel, and two thumb buttons, often used for 'forward' and 'back' functions on a web browser.

There are actually two buttons which are right below the "dpi" button. It's a little hard to see in the photo but as you hold/grip the mouse (or visualize with the picture) right above where your thumb rests is the "forward" and "back" buttons. They are very slender; and very handy.

Five button design... a forward, back, left, right and "DPI" button - plus, you have the scroll wheel. All in all, pretty comfortable and well priced (I got mine for $25.99) compared to other vertical mice that go for between $40-$90.

It's a standard 7 button mouse (5 clickable usable, the scroll wheel, and a DPI adjustment). They recommend you use a program like X-Mouse if you want to program any of the buttons.

Yep, three it is. One thing to note is that there are no physical left and right buttons. The upper case of the mouse is flexible at the front, and pressing it where one usually clicks a button will operate the same as separate mouse buttons.

I have never used that button - this device seems only to support one connected input at a time. So if I want to use another input source, I have to disconnect the current input first, then connect whatever other device - USB, 3.5mm, etc. this is a major drawback that I have learned to live with.

Its the button under the mouse wheel. You may need supporting software. Im using it on an android pc so windows may require software. No clue where to get it.

Aside from gaming, I use it for web browsing. My buttons on the left are mapped to switch focus to a specific tab (G8-G17), open new tab (G18), open previously closed tab (G19), and close current tab (G20).

Just normal, as any other trackpad I've used. It is just bigger than what I'm used too. And the left and right clicks are hidden below the trackpad. And the software for it, works perfectly for Windows 8, with all the gestures and stuff.

Yes, it does. Works great, as does pointer and fwd/back buttons. Using the joystick to control the cursor is a bit tricky, but a great feature when needed!

Great! Thank you both so much for your responses. It was the one thing I used a lot on the old one I'm replacing, but the documentation and photos do not show that button.Thanks again!

It "clicks" and you can assign it to what you want. By default it's "Fwd/Back" buttons but you can change it with SetPoint

NO, the buttons only work with Windows as far as I have found. I have used it on both and only work with forward/backward buttons on internet browser of your choice on windows.

Yes, there are 4 programmable thumb buttons. On a Mac, the main button defaults to "show all programs".

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.

The middle click is solid. It's wont accidentally click while scrolling. It's not stiff either. It's feels really good. I should tell you though that if you are using Ubuntu you will need to remap the buttons i.e. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as the Windows button mapping won't work out of the box for Linux.

Well I myself almost always use a mouse. But the response from Becky seems helpful. She says it can, by pressing (Fn and F7 simultaneously. It's worth a try!!

It's a nub for the thumb. It's in rubber compared to the buttons so you can't mix it up and you thumb doesn't slip. You get 3 different size in the box.

I downloaded a third-party program to control the buttons. Currently, I'm using a program called X-Mouse Button Control, which allows you to adjust the functions for five buttons and the mouse wheel, which is perfect for this mouse. The only thing I've played with on the program, however, is disabling the side buttons (which worked), so I'm not sure of its entire capability/compatibility.
