IS it like the original Apple mouse - NO buttons. One review says there are five. I don't see any.

The iHome wired mouse I bought has a split push down mouse button type on the ends where the traditional buttons go. There is a track ball as well. If you were to press them that would be 3 button features. On the mouse itself it does not look like there are any buttons at all. I am satisfied with this mouse for my needs and would buy another if I wanted it.

No, it is nothing like the Apple mouse. It feels very light & flimsy and has a single scroll wheel. I bought it for my wife who didn't want to use it after seeing it, so that's about all I can say.

The amount of buttons available are software related. You can control them in your settings. I don't like all the buttons, so I've turned them off. PC users like having more activated.

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

Hi Angela, it is one apple and one button...a pair only. I have requested the silver one and it is very nice. Hope this helps. If you need more information please let me know.Thanks!

I have tested this on two iMac's one with OSX 10.5 and 10.9 and can confirm that the thumb buttons for forward and back do not work. I even downloaded the Logitech Control Center software from the Logitech site and the software does not recognize the mouse on either computer . This is sad to report because I love Logitech mice and Apple computers. I use mine on a Windows box for work. The mouse you are looking for is it's predecessor if you can find it: Logitech MX400 (M-BZ105A) Laser Mouse which works on Apple computers and the thumb buttons for back and forward on websites are better than the M318E. I replaced it cause the wheel was getting noisy but and it was a little larger mouse than I'm use to but I was wrong in thinking the M318e was a better replacement.

Order it direct from Apple online (a BTO or build-to-order order), especially if you don't want the Magic Mouse that comes with the standard machines. Otherwise order a Magic Trackpad separately.

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.

It kind of looks like one big button but this is a two button mouse. I've used it on both Macs and Windows PCs. You get the "right-click" behavior without using the control key.

I can't speak for macs, but if you're on a PC you can change the bindings of the side buttons within an individual application. Many games offer support for binding extra mouse buttons if you navigate to the keybinding screen.

Not actual buttons... More like sensory buttons like you hover your finger close to. It's pretty sleek IMO. The menu system is pretty easy to use, not too difficult.

I don't think they include a program that allows you to program the side buttons. Having said that, mouse buttons 4 and 5 (the side buttons) are so common now that almost every game less than 5 years old will have the function to map those keys to hotkeys in game.

yes, it did. but the mouse worked for only a month and then stopped. I have now an apple magic mouse. save your money

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.

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

I use this mouse for gaming....buttons 4@5 are used for pistol and other weapons like machine gun.... One press for each button do not need to be held down... Am very impressed with this mouse....Remember it must be an 11 button programmable mouse....Some are only 8 button......As far as I know it is only from Amazon USA at a good price.

I'm not sure if these are the latest version... Does the new version have more buttons?

No OSX software for the mouse. Still able use as plug and play. I would assume that the special hat button will not work without software.

The side buttons do not work out of the box. However, in the Systems Preferences>Accessibility>Switch Control side bar>Switches tab, there are 4 built in system commands: Restart from top, Select item, Move to next item, Stop scanning, as well as executing Apple scripts when a side button is pressed. If you want more commands or don't know how to program in Apple script, I recommend downloading BetterTouchTool (Free). You can bind the side button to any keyboard shortcut. In my case, I bind them to command-[ and command-], which is the command for back a page, forward a page respectively for almost all apps (Chrome, Safari, Finder etc.) The side buttons do not work out of the box.
