need SW or new mouse

[bayoupimp]

Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to remap every button on my mouse including the left and right of the tilt wheel? I stupidly bought a microsoft kb/mouse package without looking at the mouse which has no back or forward button. Just the scroll button with up/down/left/right scrolling. The latest intellepoint (5.3) software does not allow for mapping left and right scroll, only the middle button (and left and right click of course). I would just get Logitech's G7 cause it is pimp other than the color (not a deal breaker) and it only has one side button. If I could program my current mouse to make the left/right scroll buttons the back/forward buttons I would just hang on to it till the G9 or whatever comes out. I'm sure with all the complaints they've been getting about only one side button, Logitech will respond with something with another side button (and better coloring).

I moved your thread into this forum for better response. Also please only post news items in the News forum (they appear on the home page as news).

Obviously posted in the wrong forum my friend, so expect an admin to move this post to the more generic hardware forum.

G7 has more then ONE complaint associated with it, similar to the G5, it is also affected by a very poor response time - mouse mouvement - depending on the mouse mat surface. G5 has seen a firmware upgrade last week to attempt to resolve the issue, but G7 still hanging dry on that one.


As for your mouse, cannot confirm if this will meet your need , try and see I guess....but version 5.4 appears to do remapping, there is also a Pro version which honestly I have no clue what it does.
