Does the idle screen always shows the control buttons as pictured, or can I program it to make this screen cleaner?

There's a "clean display" button that will clear most of the icons (leaves current and desired temps). Also, the blue backlight can be set to always on or timed out. After some testing on my touchscreen...most of this info is always on but you can't see it very well when the backlight times out.

Control pad is on top. Not just the four buttons. I use it most for interval timing. Resets and starts over. Very easy use.

No, you can reprogram it to different levels of DPI (up to 4) and each click goes to a different level.

I believe that it isn't showing the buttons that you use to change the mouses dpi, or distance per inch, which normally doesn't get changed but can be if you don't really need them and it also isn't showing the button on the right side which is to change the color of the light on the mouse but can also be changed to do some other function if you only want it to have one color.

Its the largest button on the left, its silver. Shove it forwards and backwards to adjust to ant of the 4 preset DPIs.You can also download Thermaltake's Level 10M mouse software to edit what DPIs to use for further customization.

I don't remember where I got the driver but I downloaded a zip file. With it there is a button for it on the bottom right row of buttons. Clicking on it brings up a window with a picture of the mouse with each of the mouse's buttons identified. You can program the buttons for any of the functions that are supported or you can disable buttons.

Simply touch the screen. You can also change the settings to change the screen contrast and time to stay on.

Nope, changing from the "wing" to the "flat" side panel has no effect on the button, the panel lays over the button, also it's default configuration is for DPI throttling. Hope this helps!

All it took me to switch the screen out on was a small Phillips/flathead screw driver and patience. Screws are hidden in the trim, you just have to be careful to look for them before you go separating the screen trim pieces.

The buttons work as expected. By default after the software is installed (AlienFX Editor, AlienFX Controller, Command Center, Macro Editor, and Mouse CI) the scroll button works left and right. For example scrolling left and right in Excel.Open Mouse CI and CLICK the mouse (not the OK button). You can now pretty much configure all the features of the mouse including program the 9 buttons on the mouse :)Click Macro Manager (or launch it separately) and you can program your own pre-recorded macros. Then assign it to a key under Buttons, select the button, select the task Macro, select the Macro you recorded.I love it! The buttons work as expected.

the driver is for added functionality (like changing button functions and dpi settings)

I bought it and mine came with a black home button. The screen I bought has also worked great since I bought and installed it.

The controls are cheap. It's not supposed to do that. Mine works properly sometimes. But not all the time.

Yes .....you assign each switch a number when setting up the system. When that switch is activated or has a problem (tamper, dead batteries open door/window etc) it appears on the screen.

You can turn it on/off pushing the cover below the display. This will not affect the programming

You can select different colors, but theirs no timer. You'll have to changeit manually
