I used to have a mouse that had some fancy buttons on it. I only attached two crucial commands to the mouse: One button was a double click, one button was a hide/unhide desktop. I couldn't figure out what to do with the other ones.

- geocar 17y agoI bind mine to modifier keys, like Alt, and Super. Then I can chord-resize windows and chord-drag them from the middle of the window without doing the one-hand-keyboard-one-hand-mouse move.
- fshaun 17y agoI wouldn't know what to do with the OOMouse's extra buttons, either. 18 buttons is more than I could remember, much less reliably click. For a few years I've been using mice with "only" 2 extra buttons, mapped to CTRL and ALT. Because they are close together on the thumb side, it's easy to click either one or both together. This is especially nice for gaming, allowing access to the C-, M- or C-M- equivalents of a key without moving the keyboard hand. This matches office application use cases such as selecting text and operating on it, whether both hands can act in parallel.
