Are the red buttons programmable? I usually use those buttons for going back on the browser and closing a window (rather than going forward).

I have only been able to program on game. Not sure about browser and desktop controls

not through the mouse as it does not come with its own program to do that. however there are other programs you can get to do that and i think you are able to do it through windows itself im not sure though. if you have a mac i have dont know because i have never owned one.

I am sorry S G. I have never used a mouse with buttons on the side. But, I did some research and talked to a "techie" friend for some info. The two side buttons control the page turns on the computer. Left button is for left and right button for right. Those who have the touch screen computers use them for productivity sake. Hope this helps.

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.

Hi, Cynthia. Not sure what you mean by programming the buttons for other commands, as I've never done that. The roller bar is used for the same purposes as your mouse, but you use only one finger (I use my index finger) as opposed to using your hand to grip the mouse. I have found that I have to pay attention not to get lazy and let my wrists rest on the pads in front of the keyboard as I'm typing, as that compression does not help my carpal tunnel situation. Except for the unique "mouse", I find the keyboard the same as any other. Hope this helps a little bit. Kathy Z.

the red button default wise does nothing. but in the software you can program it to be like f3 or etc. so yes i can be re programmed

Yes, all the buttons are programmable. I also have a problem clicking the left mouse button. I use autohotkeys software to set the CapsLock key as the left mouse button so I can click it with my left hand. Hope this helps.

No, they don't have any kind of easy programmability, not sure if some kind of button code though, lost my paperwork a while ago.

YES; Good question had to test it out, It does remember the last mode if you press the button fast some times it will change the mode if you press it slow, I think because of the sensitivity of the button, its easy to get back to the right mode if it had change and easy to learn. hope this helps.

I just got mine, it appears it is only the slider toggle in the upper right that does that. Shame, that is a real annoyance to have to choose between windows 8 function keys or ones you use while programming, like f5 to refresh your browser or launch you app in debug mode. seems like alt or ctrl should be able to do that.

You have to keep button down for extended time. I would have found it acceptable if it was simple click.

No-the only buttons are for forward and backward, none that can be assigned for delete.

The two buttons on the side are for scrolling the web, one will go back a page, the other will go forward, they can be programmed in game as Mouse_4 and Mouse_5. The button below the mouse wheel is a DPI thing, basically if you press it then your mouse sensitivity will increase a lot, press it again and it will go back to normal, it can't be programmed in game.

Yes you can reprogram the buttons to certain options listed in the software, but the Storm tactic button (thumb button on the side) you can't change it for another function; however, Storm Tactics button allows you to set combinations built to offer 32 extra button outputs for macros, scripts, rapidfire which is useful for mmo games. There is a profile switcher button underneath the scroll wheel as well.

Yes. The whole back end is the answer/end/activate button. The outside shell wraps around the back, but it flexes a bit when the back is pressed. I have had no problem using the button.

Yes, there's an override button that makes it work like a normal switch. It will also keep doing whatever you programmed.

Yes they can. Currently only the amount of buttons can be keybound, without adding shift or cntl. But the amount is almost endless. I have all button bound, and again with holdin shift, and again for holdin cntl just for wow. It's very customizable.
