How do you guys use the "extra" buttons on the mouse? Mine are currently set to back/forward, but I don't see myself using it that often while coding, so I'm looking for some ideas on how to better take advantage of them.

    Mine is used instead of F2 and F3, respectively. (In game, that is)

    Had them set to Alt+Tab and F5 once. Useful for web dev.

    mine is just back and forth in the browser but i would like to add my coworkers:

    Mouse Wheel Up: Copy

    Mouse Wheel Down: Paste

    Back Button: Mouse Wheel Up

    Forth Button: Mouse Wheel Down

    I dont know why.

    (In random order)
    B0: copy
    B1: paste
    B2: cut
    B3: middle mouse button
    B4: KeePass autocomplete
    B5: forward
    B6: backward
    B7: win+r
    B8: next profile

    I love my Corsair M90.

    Back and forward navigation in an IDE. Unless it's not supported. Like in VS Mac. 🙄

    "How do you guys use the 'extra' buttons on the mouse?"

    I hit them by accident, swear about it, think "I should probably disable those", then forget about it.

    Undo/redo when coding, back/forward in the browser, and some other macros for other apps.

    @ngServe is this just one button or are these infinitely many buttons?

    @Lensflare it’s configured to be 1 or 2 buttons. But has 1-5 finger gesture controls. I couldn’t live without it.
