Can the middle button be used to open new tabs? If you can't out-of-the-box, can the software modify that?

No, essentially there is no middle mouse button. Pressing the scroll wheel only switches it from click scroll to hyper scroll - there is no switch contact. You can program the scroll wheel tilt to function as a mouse button, but that will take some retraining on your end to learn the new functionality. I would advise against using this mouse for any program that makes heavy use of the middle mouse button, such as CAD software (i.e. SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc).

You can remap the button below the scroll wheel to do about anything. I find it nice to have the separate "middle button" that isn't dependent on my trying to balance the scroll wheel to click.

The mouse is great, but for the middle button.. If you use the middle mouse button alot, its very annoying.. Google Sketchup is difficult with this mouse. The blue led goes up to 1000DPI! This what they say.. I've had not issue with it so far.

no, but there are plenty of options of removable/changeable tabs available.

one of the buttons (the back one) is slightly higher then the other, they are both fully programmable, the raised one in question is set to alt-tab for me, and i have the other of the two set to swap between profiles of the games i play. you can really change things around with the software.

I haven't used that one. It does type in any window I've used it in. But getting complicated with it is a lot easier in a text window than something like Pages with a lot of commands.

Try using this free program: http://uberoptions.net/ Supposedly allows you to access / modify all the controls on the logitech mouse. I haven't tried it myself, waiting for my VX nano to come in so I can! But yeah I definitely need the middle click so I hope it works. Good luck.

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?

Hi Spazicle. Yes, it counts the scroll wheel as the 3rd button because you can actually press on it and it will do its job of opening another tab or closing a tab.

You need to press the surface for clicking, but scrolling is like capacitive touch screen. If you install the Logitech driver for Windows, you get middle button by clicking at the lower part of the surface with two fingers (very cumbersome, and doesn't work under linux).

yes, there should be. Downloading the logitech mouse software allows you to reprogram mouse buttons and allow you to open new links by pressing center click.

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

yes, there is a middle scroll button and in my mouse works satisfactorily. give it a try ....is worth the investment.

honestly, i don't see why you need such a thing to only turn pages on a tab. Swiping the screen is much easier

No, it doesn't. As I mentioned in my review, there's no middle button function.

Im not entirely sure on what your asking. It has a wheel that scrolls left and right, as well as a traditional scroll wheel. There is a middle button, however it only clicks down, not left and right.

I use trackball mouse for my development laptop. I am used to lock long browser pages for up-down keys with mouse middle key click. This helps me to scroll up or down quickly. This same feature is available in this mouse. Only trick is that you have to tap once in middle and you will be all set. If this is what you are looking for, then yes, It does provide middle key click.

i dont think so. beware of this keyboard. it has large Q instead of a tab button which is highly irritating. i didnt notice until i tried tabbing for passwords a lot and its annoying.
