A few forums and their bs.

I have two thumb buttons on my mouse! And one index finger button! And five middle finger buttons! Plus a scroll wheel!

Has anyone used the mice (correct term?) with the scroll wheel in the middle that moves side to side? What purpose does that serve?

I haven't used one, but it's for scrolling horizontally in apps...

my computer completely died recently...... and i got it working again,,,,,,,, anyways, when it started working again, the scroll button in the mouse didnt work nomrally... instead of scrolling when you click it it makes the browser go back one page

it was quite handy


Now its fixed again though :(

Who needs a thumb button? Is there a point? My friend had one and he was always accidentally clicking it, making his IE go back one page. He was not fond of it.

I set mine to zoom 8x. Works really well when editing down to pixels. Its great cause i can edit pixels....yet still see most of my composition at the same time...plus i can view certain parts/details instantly, no need for the zoom tool.

Also u can change/disable the button as well (if only your friend new that lol)

and what the hell kinda mouse do u have deker?? its sounds the greatest invention known to man.


.... and yes...big sigs blow. A lot of times it actually makes it harder to find the content in that massive sea of sigs lol.

I would be very sad without my thumb button

>_> . ... mine's detachable. ..

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, but it sounds KINKY!

I have a furry one that used to squeek. Just kinda stinks now.. ;)

haha. well, for going back in browsers, I'm just used to doing right-click->move mouse down .5cm->right-click (the right-click submenu). Just as fast as doing mouse gestures (but not as fast as buttons), my early Half-life days trained me well for the use of the mouse (I used keyboard for Doom :]).

haha I don't even have a regular mouse - I use the one that came with the wacom - when I do...I mostly use the pen...
and I use opera so as far as going bak or forward one page...heh

Rodder, I have a Logitech MX500 and a MX700. They are the same except one is wireless. Both are great! 2 thumb buttons, scroll wheel with a button, left/right click, then three more buttons that are supposed to be used for paging up and down, but I set them to control Expose' on the Mac, which is incredibly handy.

Then I have setup my Powermate to do zooming and stuff in Photoshop, which is really cool.
