Can I assign key functions to this mouse?

I don't understand the question about assigning key functions to the mouse. If you mean keyboard key functions, I don't know as I have no need to do this. If you mean can you assign different functions that the mouse can do, yes. This is done after you have installed the program for the mouse through the device and printers settings. Right click on the mouse icon and then click on the mouse settings. Now you can tell your mouse how to act.

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.

After finding the .ini file you mentioned and playing with it for about an hour, I had no success in finding a way to map regular keyboard keys to any of the side buttons. I asked Sharkk support if there was a way and they said no. I'm hoping that maybe in a driver update later that they might since their other mice (I also have their wired gaming mouse) all have the capability. Since I really wanted that functionality on my own mouse, I found a workaround that makes me happy: A Windows program called X-Mouse Button Control by highrez . co . uk. It allows you to program simulated key presses on Mouse Buttons 4 and 5. I have Simulated Key set to {F12} Option 3 During (press on down, release on up). Works like a charm.

If you mean the ability to swap the functions of each button press on the mouse, yes, it's possible, but you need the Razer Synapse software. You can rest easy with this software because it was designed specifically with Razer products in mind. The software allows for many other things like DPI options. If you mean the ability to swap left and right click, then that is a feature built into Windows, so you can change it through control panel. Not entirely sure about other Operating Systems though.

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

My keyboard is red, and the mouse just changes colors by itself, I dont think there is a way to program it

No, you can reprogram it to different levels of DPI (up to 4) and each click goes to a different level.

I use a software called X-mouse button control to control all the mappings of my mouse. Super useful software and best of all it's free and works with every mouse I have ever had.

I can't speak for macs, but if you're on a PC you can change the bindings of the side buttons within an individual application. Many games offer support for binding extra mouse buttons if you navigate to the keybinding screen.

Not that I am aware of. No software came with the mouse. Have not looked at a website. You can program them through your in-game options. Probably wouldn't recommend if you play mmo's.

Yes, you are able to set the programmable buttons to whatever key on your keyboard. If you get the mouse, just go into the driver program that comes with the mouse, and you'll see the list of all the buttons on the mouse ordered 1-7. Just click one and choose the option "single key". Then just press the key you want binded, and that's it. Sorry if that was really on-going. I just wanted to be descriptive.

Yes, you can map it anyway you like and it the same as hitting that key on the keyboard. You can even map combinations such as atl+F or ctrl+V into one keystroke. Very handy.

There's a button right on top of the mouse that lets you switch between 4 different DPI presets, very easy to do and it works great. There are three side buttons that can be programmed for additional commands. as far as the hold and release feature, I'm not sure, you should probably ask the manufacturer on that one.

If you use a mac you can program the buttons using Steermouse or USB Overdrive

The keyboard and mouse work pretty much like standard ones do, so no. However, you can easily use a free scripting program like AutoHotkey to do this for you by way of a keybind, it will then work regardless of your input method. EDIT It seems like the other answer may work as well, although I have never tried it myself.
