There doesn't seem to be an option to map mouse keys to launch software? The profile configuration only allows macros and pre-determined hotkeys.

The mouse macro options in the software should allow you to program the buttons to activate keyboard keys, repeat recorded mouse actions, and mouse buttons. To open software, you could record presses involving the windows key, but it cannot natively open software.

Correct. You can't map software on the mouses keys and launch said software with said keys. The strike7 keyboard can that

Yes, you can map shortcut keys to specific buttons and have multiple programs setup with different profiles. Works really well for any repetitive processes.

You can set up keys, combination of keys, and even a series of keys (macro) that will do things in photoshop. For example, you could set the dpi up and down buttons on the mouse to instead be the "[" and "]" keys on the keyboard and they would then change brush size up and down. Ignore Britney's answer. She is either using a Mac and can't use the software to program the mouse or she is a troll. Even if you use a mac, you can program it on a pc using the software and the onboard memory should remember the keys you set up when switching it back onto your mac.

Yes you can, via the mouse software. There are dozens of options you can assign the DPI buttons, such as single key, combo key, rapid fire/multi-click, middle button, macro, ect. As an example I set to top DPI button to "DPI Switch" which allows you to scroll through all DPI settings and the bottom DPI butto to a keyboard key, such as "TAB".

I programmed mine to Alt + Tab. It allows me to switch between programs very easily. I feel severely restricted without it on other computers, now.

I tried to find out and the answer is I don't think so but I can't say for certain. They do allow a bunch of separate profiles and macros. I really like changing the capslock to cntrl on my keyboard

You can setup custom gestures in certain programs, I am not sure if you can use the mouse to open a program though.

Mine didn't come with software, per se, but I could usually re-map in game or in Windows. Had to download a free app to remap on my mac.

The buttons work as expected. By default after the software is installed (AlienFX Editor, AlienFX Controller, Command Center, Macro Editor, and Mouse CI) the scroll button works left and right. For example scrolling left and right in Excel.Open Mouse CI and CLICK the mouse (not the OK button). You can now pretty much configure all the features of the mouse including program the 9 buttons on the mouse :)Click Macro Manager (or launch it separately) and you can program your own pre-recorded macros. Then assign it to a key under Buttons, select the button, select the task Macro, select the Macro you recorded.I love it! The buttons work as expected.

Yes you can configure this in the Options. I'm using the same control keys like in THPS2

In the Microsoft mouse and keyboard center under "app-specific settings" I was personally able to create custom macros using any of the keys. You assign the keys to perform different commands in different programs. So as far as I know, yes, you will be able to set certain keys for copy/pase, etc. However, the links below should provide you with more solid answers. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/windows-8/how-to/mouse/configuring-application-specific-settings http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/windows-8/how-to/mouse/configuring-application-specific-settings

I'm on a Mac, using ControllerMate. I've been able to reprogram all the buttons. This includes the ring finger button, which I use as a shifter to modify the other buttons, but can also work as a regular macro button. With ControllerMate, it is also possible to reprogram the scroll wheel of any mouse. I am also using the center top buttons (G7 and G8). I've programmed one to toggle videos from windowed to fullscreen, and I set the other one up as an Esc key.

I have that exact setup, and you can program the g-keys individually using Logitech's gaming software across multiple Logitech peripherals. It doesn't matter if you have a G1 on the G13 and a G1 on the mouse, when you program them, they are programmed based on what device the key is physically on. So you can program G1 on the G13 to execute a macro, and G1 on the mouse to emulate a function key, for example.

There were/are no drivers/software that comes with the mouse. BUT what I do is use x-mouse button control utility (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm). This allows you to change ANY button assignment plus much more. Like MS Intellimouse but way better. HTH...

I'm pretty sure you can only program what the buttons do in game within the game options. As far as the desktop goes, the two side buttons go back and forward (surfing the web), the top buttons change the sensitivity of the mouse, left and right click, scroll etc.

Yes you can reprogram the buttons to certain options listed in the software, but the Storm tactic button (thumb button on the side) you can't change it for another function; however, Storm Tactics button allows you to set combinations built to offer 32 extra button outputs for macros, scripts, rapidfire which is useful for mmo games. There is a profile switcher button underneath the scroll wheel as well.

Well I myself almost always use a mouse. But the response from Becky seems helpful. She says it can, by pressing (Fn and F7 simultaneously. It's worth a try!!
