Can you reprogram any of the buttons? Including the dpi switch, profile switcher, and macro key?

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.

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

No, it doesn't have any type of software to allow any rebinding of the DPI button on this mouse....Besides the button on the mouse the only other option is to change the sensitivity within the operating system.

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. All of the buttons are programmable and can also be set to customize automatically based on the active program being used. Download the Mouse and Keyboard Center software here to make changes: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/downloads/mouse-keyboard-center

Yes.... It has simple instructions for the basic setup. If you want to change any of the button functions you will have to download the installation manual.

All buttons other than the Left Click may be programmed as any key or combination of Keys (Macros)

To an extent, yes. The 3 silver buttons to the right of the mini display allow you to have profiles. Each profile changes to your specifications. Colors, macros, etc. Right now my top button profile is set to no light at all for when I sleep and there is no light keeping me up.The second profile is my default for just using my pc for everyday stuff. And the third is used for gaming and where my macros and what not are set up. You can hook up the numerous amounts of macro keys to anything you wish. Check out some youtub

There are for settings each setting has an independent dpi so if you set all the colors to the same dpi then yes, you could simply change the color with the button.

You can adjust the "G" keys to do pretty much anything. Just download the software for the keyboard at Corsairs site. From there you can adjust each "G" key to do anything as in adding text to using macros, pretty much anything.

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

You can set macros, however that's a very unreliable way of doing it since anyone could press the button. The side keys are meant to be used as a number pad or action buttons in video games such as what this mouse is designed for.

All of Saitek's products are programmable and therefore can be modified in simulators such as FSX etc. I am not familiar with your simulator or program but I am sure that you can obtain the map of the buttons and knobs and therefore change their functionality.

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

Yes. I don't have the full list of key commands in front of me but there is a pretty robust set of hotkeys that can switch the K/M, video, audio or all at the same time. See my review for details.

The Powermate will let you program pretty much any key-press into its functions. You could certainly set it up such that either the "click" or the "click-and-hold" function presses the space bar.

Yes, you can... http://buttonmakers.net/product_info.php?cPath=132_139&products;_id=1103
