        Can't you just assign a seperate shortcut for each button? or assign a keyboard key for each button that corrosponds with your SU shortcut?

            probably but I dont know how to do that lol, on a PC I know but not on the mac!
            All I could find was an option to make a keyboard shortcut open SU!

              Ah...

              Does the mouse not have a setup disk? there may be a way of setting it up using it's own software, something like this:

                yeah it has an amazing set up screen for customizations, but only on the PC! On the mac I can change the tracking speed and thats about it.

                Was just wondering if I could assign keys from within SU or by using a plugin?

                        you might have to use something like this:

                        Link Preview Image
                        SteerMouse

                        favicon

                        (plentycom.jp)

                        .

                            Yes, use Steermouse or USB Overdrive.
