So, I just performed open heart surgery on a mouse. Thanks to the power of duct tape, a bad case of middlebuttonnoclickitis has been rectified, and my beloved MX1000 has made a full recovery. Yes I know it has seven other clickable buttons, but I need them all!

OK, now you're just showing off. ;-) I thought I was doing well when I caught up to your mouse (that I long admired from afar!) with left, middle-wheel, right and two thumb buttons. Where are the other two top buttons, please, and what do you use them for in practice?

OK, on the top we have left (click), right (context menu) and middle wheel (open in new tab). There's also a rocker which gives you buttons in front of and behind the wheel (page up and down). The side has forward and backward with "app switch" inbetween (mapped to trigger Exposé).

Mappings under Windows are somewhat different - mostly so that I can use all the buttons within games...
