Is there any way to duplicate the center click producing "Open Link in a new Tab" behavior of the Microsoft mice?

yes, there should be. Downloading the logitech mouse software allows you to reprogram mouse buttons and allow you to open new links by pressing center click.

That's a Windows thing as far as I know. I don't have this mouse anymore, but if I recall correctly, the scroll wheel of that mouse isn't a button.

Yes. I've had the same issue, even though I have the latest drivers and everything. I have mine set to open in a new window when I middle-click in a browser. It only works 1 out of every 2-3 middle-clicks. I'm returning it.

It clicks, which I find annoying. However, if one is mechanically inclined it's easy to remedy. Remove the 2 screws in the battery compartment. Pop open the mouse. Locate the spring on the side of the scroll wheel and remove it with needle nose pliers. Pop mouse back together and replace the 2 screws, enjoy scrolling as smooth as butter. WARNING: this will certainly void any warranty and YMMV. ;-)

Haven't used it in several weeks. But I recall double-clicking anywhere in the text and the cursor then appears at the beginning. Should be intuitive from there.

The mouse is completely programmable under Linux. I run this on startup, the smaller left button activates muti directional scroll wheel and the two bigger buttons pressed together emulate the middle button: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11690808/

I've only been using this on Windows 7, therefore, I don't know. However, the horizontal scroll does not work in some sites of Chrome & Safari but it works on Firefox & IE. Perhaps it's the versions that I was using; I didn't put so much effort in searching the exact connections. Another feature of this wedge mouse, like turning an image 360 degrees clockwise & counter-clockwise don't work with Windows 7. In spite of the ones I've mentioned, I really love this little gadget, pretty slick actually! :)

Yes it is. Event two at the same time. But buttons need to be mapped in Mupen64. I'm looking for the right configuration !

No. You can single-click with it, but it seems to really just be meant for scrolling.

Yes - but it is very easy to scroll when you are trying to click. If you use the middle button heavily this mouse is not a good choice.

I believe I know what the original question was regarding. This is the reason I am looking to purchase another pointing device. Apparently from what I've read, Logitech started producing there devices using cheaper and inferior micro switches. After a bit of use the buttons start performing double clicks even though you only clicked once. I had purchased the Logitech M570 about 6 months ago and it's already performing double clicks. So frustrating!

Spotty response to double click... I stopped using it and went back to traditional mouse.

I don't have it in front of me now, but have you tried pushing that oval button on the end of the mouse and then flip the TOP cover off. The oval button at the end, not the push buttons where your finger tips press. After pressing the oval button I believe you flip the mouse by using your finger nail and lifting at the crevice where it says "Microsoft". And/or the cover slides. That is assuming there is no lift tab underneath the mouse. Hope this helps you get to the battery. Godspeed.

I've had no problems with mine. I have been working with it for almost a year. I bought it precisely for the center-click-scroll features and I love it.

The 5 buttons on the mouse are fully customizable using the Synapse 2.0 software (which is compulsory installation to use the mouse). So you can make it a "left click" on any of the 5 buttons you want.

I'm not familiar with MAC a lot, but I would say that the buttons on the mouse are respond to the standard 3 and 4 buttons and if you would install any software/driver that had a configuration for more then 2 buttons, you would be able to configure them. it does not have to be a kensinngton software, it has to have an option for more than 2 button to configure.

there is 3rd party software to allow scroll called "Marble Mouse Scroll Wheel"

I usually use an external mouse. However, clicking the right end of the bar should work.
