What can each button on a five button wheel mouse be programmed to do? What are the advantages of using a five button wheel mouse? What can the wheel button be programmed to do? Any information about five button wheel mice functions, features, advantages, and performance would be VERY much appreciated!! Thanks
Well, I have a 4 button mouse. A single back (thumb) button, the main scroll wheel clicker, and then the the scroll wheel will click if pushed to either side, left or right. The thumb button functions as a back button in web browsers and file system browsers. The scroll wheel clicker will start the auto scroller which allows you to very quickly and smoothly move up or down a web page very quickly. The side to side scroll clickers I don't use in windows, it is a gaming mouse and those could be programmed for any number of things in a gaming setup. The program that would come with your mouse for helping control it though would allow you to setup the buttons to do just about anything you want them to most likely.
