Is there a way to configure the extra buttons on my logitech mx revolution mouse to work. Really I only care about the forward and back buttons on the side. Thanks for any help.

If I can't use these anyway, I think I will pick up a wireless mighty mouse. Any positives or negatives about this mouse. Someone told me the mouse is slow and unresponsive, but I think there's may be a an older version?

If you installed the logitech software then you should be able to change the buttons in the system preference pane. I'm able to change them on my vx revolution, so the mx should be no different.

I'm using the Logitech software with my MX Revolution, and it works fine to set the extra buttons.

You won't be able to use the Logitech software with Leopard as it uses Unsanity's application enhancer.

You could either wait for them to update it, or get an alternative driver such as steermouse, USBOverdriveX or Controllermouse.

Not true Aptmunich, I and along with many other TUAW readers are using Logitech's LLC just fine on Leopard.

Someone else told me the software would not work on Leopard so I didn't try it. I was hoping there was a way to just use the Mac OS to do it so I didn't have to install any software. Anyway, thanks for the help. I may try the Logitech software or look into the software Aptmunich suggested.
