I am curious if you actively using these buttons.

  • [Yes] I use these buttons very well, even outside of internet browsers.
  • [Yes] I only use these buttons at internet browsers for reverting visited pages. I’ve never used these buttons except for internet browsers (or very a few softwares)
  • [No] I have those buttons in my mouse, but I’ve never used it.
  • [No] My mouse doesn’t have those buttons.
  • The poll options don’t include my opinion. (Custom answer - Let us know how you are!)

Those are my dedicated in-game voice and Discord voice chat push-to-talk buttons.

Some old mice that I have don’t have these buttons though.

Wish the game supported them, I’d bind one to toggle walk

I like to bind using items/parrying to those buttons in action games.

5

if a game lets me bind them i use them for lots of things:
pick up, melee, voice chat, leaning, zooming in

6

I’ve set up xmbc so that the buttons point and grab, respectively.

7

It’s Byond issue. Not sure when the engine will support it.

8

I wish I had some of those bindable buttons.

I have a logitech g300s so my 4th trough 7th mouse buttons are actually usable with my index and middle finger.
But yeah I use it. For things like undo/redos, copy and paste, and with the use of the different profiles thing I also use them to change my dpi if needed.

Based on all of that I can gather you’re a giant absolute nerd

I use them for system volume.

Goddamn really? They are so good for that. They work almost universally on all programs that have a ‘history’ windows file explorer, browsers, documents, VSC.
Also while im here, you guys all know about the middle mouse button click uses right?
Middle mouse click on a link to open in new tab, middle mouse click on a tab to close it.
Again this works on almost every program with ‘tabs’

i think the only time i’ve used them consistently was when i bound dragon shouts to them on skyrim

i think i bound them to the numpad keys to target limbs one time with my mouse program but it was too annoying to be practical in my experience

I absolutely refuse that title with all my might

So you’re on an obscure videogame’s forum, on a poll thread about mouse buttons about 20 posts down and you don’t even enjoy the game?

Also, I was reminded earlier, but funnily enough I don’t even use mouse3 (mouse-wheel down) to swap hands, I just hit X.
