Can the horizontal scrolling functions be programmed to back and forward functions in browsers?

No. The functions of the left and right clicks can be customized but scrolling cannot. It's a serious limitation.

Never tried it. I don't use the mouse very often, nor do I use the MS SurfacePro. I should sell both.

Opera browser had/has functionality for right click then left to navigate webpages forward and back. Something like that may be an option.

You know like when you are reading a website, you can go back and forth. Instead of moving the pointer to click "home", you can use the buttons.

Two answers, both Yes. 1) Hold down the left or right arrow (FF or RW) and it moves forward or backward - by seconds at first, then minutes, tens of minutes, then hours. 2) If you set the Navigation Mode to Section (recommended) - then a single or double press of the left or right arrow will move you to the next/previous chapter.

Yes the 4-way scrolling uses the standard up and down rolling wheel and a tilt wheel for side-to-side scrolling.

Simple answer is yes. But in addition to that you can push the wheel left and right for scrolling left and right.

No, up and down like most Windows mouses. If you want L/R scrolling, a trackball type is usually the way to go. There are some good wireless units that use a thumb ball. I have had the older big ball type and they were all too big to work well except for some graphics applications.

Yes to both questions.Right & left (horizontal scrolling) vs up & down (vertical scrolling) is a function of the software/OS you are using, so it depends on context. Some programs might not provide horizontal scrolling.

Yes, they are. The red buttons ( for browsing on the internet ) is used for going back a page or forward a page. The buttons in the middle behind the scroll controls the sensitivity of the mouse, and the rest function like the buttons on a normal mouse. It works for a reaaaaally long time. I've had it for about half a year now. Didn't change at all. It is worth the price.

Yes... the scrolling is done the same way. It seems that it scrolls on its own, but it's just how your holding it. You can stop the scrolling by left clicking. Hopefully I have answered your question.

The device is plug and play, so they're equipped with default functions. Left-click, scroll wheel, and right-click are self-explanatory. The two side buttons allow you to go forward or back on web browsers.If you want to program the buttons, consider installing a scripting program such as AutoHotKey. It allows you to give specific functions to specific buttons. For example, you can bind one of the side buttons to open up Microsoft word, etc.

It has just the 3 buttons, Left, Right, and a middle that acts similar to a wheel on a wheel mouse. The center button/pad allows for scrolling up / down or left / right by swiping your finger across it like a touch pad. I am not aware of any additional functions to advance forward or backwards.

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.

depends i guess on what you are going to 'scroll' in. the four buttons can be programmed, and there is a 'universal scroll' function in the button menu that can be set to the buttons. i use it mostly on a windows 98 with word 97 - legacy - works just fine for me - but anything up the windows scale i don't know about. apple, i am not acquainted with. if you are buying it 'bare bones,' then Logitech should still have the download in the trackball section. check for compatibility. to me, the best trackball ever, with a few minor exceptions. why Logitech discontinued it i have no idea. it was the pointing device of the year when it first came out in several magazines. depends i guess on what you are going to 'scroll' in. the four buttons can be programmed, and there is a 'universal scroll' function in the button menu that can be set to the buttons. i use it mostly on a windows 98 with word 97 - legacy - works just fine for me - but anything up the windows scale i don't know about. apple, i am not acquainted with. if you are buying it 'bare bones,' then Logitech should still have the download in the trackball section. check for compatibility. to me, the best trackball ever, with a few minor exceptions. why Logitech discontinued it i have no idea. it was... » Read More depends i guess on what you are going to 'scroll' in. the four buttons can be programmed, and there is a 'universal scroll' function in the button menu that can be set to the buttons. i use it mostly on a windows 98 with word 97 - legacy - works just fine for me - but anything up the windows scale i don't know about. apple, i am not acquainted with. if you are buying it 'bare bones,' then Logitech should still have the download in the trackball section. check for compatibility. to me, the best trackball ever, with a few minor exceptions. why Logitech discontinued it i have no idea. it was the pointing device of the year when it first came out in several magazines. « Show Less

Yes you can for various games if that is what you are looking for. Other than that they work as a forward/backwards page button.

No, using the scrolling aspect does not impart any feedback beyond seeing the result onscreen. And it only scrolls, no other Windows 8 touch function, such as edge functions.

I use them as forward/back buttons while browsing, but they could be used for undo/redo or other similar function.
