[QUOTE="dabigkahuna, post: 872225, member: 109777"] You got ALL the buttons to work??? I just got this myself for my macbook and found the MX 5500 Revolution buttons "mostly" worked, but not all so if you have them all working, I'd love to know how!!! My issue is mostly with the scroll wheel click and the search button behind it. Oh, and I use Steermouse to program the buttons. Clicking the wheel simply alternates between ratchet and free spinning. I thought that was just a mechanical thing we were stuck with, but it seems that, at least for windows users, you can make changes that let it act like a regular button - at least a standard middle click. I have no idea yet if this can be done with a Mac. Steermouse doesn't even recognize it when I click it. The search button does nothing on my macbook and also isn't recognized by steermouse. From what I've read, it may even be possible, on a pc, to get the tilt wheel to do something besides just scroll horizontally. Something to do with removing the "binding" the system uses. Anyway, can you elaborate on what you have your mouse buttons doing? Even if I can only get one more to work, that would be a help. The side buttons are completely programmable as well as the three positions of the side wheel. At least with Steermouse. [/QUOTE]
