If you have to utilize this as plug and play (i.e. not able to use the downloadable software), what are the 12 thumbs buttons set to as the default?

They're set to 1-0, -, and =. the g-shift key makes them act as ctrl+those same buttons. The mouse's on board memory also allows these buttons to be changed via the software on one system, but the mouse itself will remember the changes so that you may plug and play on another system with your changed button layout.

I do not recall config software. Just the pad and dongle. Once mated it all worked together and the simple swipes and even pinch zoom worked. I hate using the pad tap and prefer a button press but do not recall if I was able to disable anything it not.

I have not used the included software much, but you can use the extra buttons for alot of things in individual applications, like forward/back browser keys, media controls, etc.I will check a bit later this morning to see if the software it came with offered macro options, but even if not, I would see no reason an alternate program could not use the buttons in the manner you see fit.Give me a bit, and I will research this more fully. It is a great cheapy mouse IMO

Great! Thank you both so much for your responses. It was the one thing I used a lot on the old one I'm replacing, but the documentation and photos do not show that button.Thanks again!

I don't have this mouse but on other mice I've had within the software you need to change the buttons to a keyboard function. Then in game change the short cuts to what you want to do to the keyboard key you chose. The mouse software basically makes the game interpret the mouse click as a keyboard key press.

yes. no software or configuration needed. Ive used it with mine for the last two software versions just fine. mouse, keyboard and button inputs work right out of the box

You can use the mouse and button function to control the software like Snagit or Jing from Techsmith to accomplish what you want. The pointer itself does not have the software capability.

I am not using that setup so this is only theory. I am able to customize the buttons within each app I choose on my pc. The device itself is just a simple plug and play (think wireless mouse). No software comes with it so you have to use the app software to adjust the input buttons.As long as there is a "hotkey" setup in your preferences somewhere in the software you use there shouldn't be a problem. That said, as soon as I plugged mine into my pc the "dvd" media buttons worked fine in 3 different "dvd" apps I use. Again, I've never even seen what you have in person but I would not think there would be a problem as it basically takes over your normal keypad. I am not using that setup so this is only theory.

Try using this free program: http://uberoptions.net/Supposedly allows you to access / modify all the controls on the logitech mouse. I haven't tried it myself, waiting for my VX nano to come in so I can! But yeah I definitely need the middle click so I hope it works.Good luck.

It works great. If you want to map the buttons, use xboxdrv. It's in the Ubuntu main repository.

It is a plug and play logitech, it should auto download the drivers when connected to the internet.

I use X-mouse button control to set the button settings, that I use for Autocad. Beware when downloading it, the first time, 1 yr ago, I got no spyware but the second time, I didn't read everything and downloaded and extra program with it.

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...

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.

I have the same problem. However, when I press ENTER on SETUP, the PLUG & PLAY cannot be selected. Can anyone help me?Thanks and appreciate all your help=)

I downloaded a third-party program to control the buttons. Currently, I'm using a program called X-Mouse Button Control, which allows you to adjust the functions for five buttons and the mouse wheel, which is perfect for this mouse. The only thing I've played with on the program, however, is disabling the side buttons (which worked), so I'm not sure of its entire capability/compatibility.
