Does the mouse wheel function as a middle mouse button?

Yes; I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a mouse on which it doesn't. Especially from Logitech.

Yes, the wheel will function as a "middle mouse button" but this mouse does not have the positive stops many of the Logitech "mice" have making it much too easy to scroll when you're trying to click... ugh!

"Yes" for Windows users and "No" for Mac users. With the Windows software downloaded from Logitech the wheel can be pressed downward for an additional button. The software allows you to select the action to be taken when the wheel is pressed. The wheel also tilts right and left and the resulting actions are also programmable. None of these additional features work with the Mac.

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

Yes - but it is very easy to scroll when you are trying to click. If you use the middle button heavily this mouse is not a good choice.

There are a total of 7 programmable buttons: two on the left (where the thumb rests), two on the right (next to pinky), left click, right click, and the scroll wheel itself. There is a eigth button but this is used to switch between your pre-programmed DPI settings and not for use as a interface button.Steel Series Engine: http://steelseries.com/us/support/downloads

It does not. The buttons emulate key presses, so the d-pad works like arrow keys and the select button acts like enter, but there are no mouse functions.

No, it's just a regular two-way scroll wheel. It can be pressed as a third button, but that's nothing to write home about.

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).

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.

It does but the configuration utility is a little weak. I have set it to let me switch "Smart Shift" (the free spin vs clicking spin mouse wheel mode) as many ways as I can but it seems to still switch based on the forground application. The mouse works fine, very little latency, OSX's smooth scrolling isn't as smooth as the mouse wheel which makes it kinda a disjointed experience. I might switch it to my PC and see if it's any better. OSX sometimes sees it as a bluetooth mouse before the login screen which is weird (I thought it wasn't a bluetooth mouse). Short answer: Hardware is good, software is 80% there.

5 if you count 'middle mouse click' as a button. Scroll wheel, two thumb buttons, two main finger buttons.

The scroll wheel does click as it is being used. Although it does click in as a button, you need to program it to mimic say the left or right mouse button.

Yes! It is not like others where there is a specific button on the side, rather you use the wheel. If you press your finger and push the wheel to the left you can go back. If you push the wheel to the right, it will go forward. You can feel a distinct click when you do it too.

I'm not sure What do you mean by "scroll wheel click and drag", butThis mouse doesn't have middle click, but only scroll (both horizontal and vertical), so obviously it's not possible to drag with middle click.

I would say the wheel requires a little more pressure than the left/right buttons. I use the wheel a lot, and when I was using this mouse it was fine for me.

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 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.

yep, you can program all buttons to do what you want, using the logitech software. I set the button behind the scroll wheel as a middle click.

Yes the scroll wheel has a "bump" left or right function as indicated by the arrows to either side of the scroll wheel. This "button" action can be programmed to a number of functions, including "back" for one direction and "forwards" for the other.

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.
