You can get these in wireless mode. A little bit customizable I believe..

Thanks, that does look the biz, but can you tell me whether the Logitech software permits you to select on a per application basis which key code is sent when you press the thumb buttons ?

The MS Intellimouse SW does this and it means you can program the disparate <Page up>, <Page down> etc commands used by different packages to all work the same way.

Thanks again,

Boo

New mouse wanted - must have thumb buttons

Hi,

I have been a stalwart fan of Microsoft's various muridine offerings ever since they brought out the Wireless Intellimouse 1.0 with it's programmable thumb buttons. I use these buttons for paging up and down documents and .pdfs etc and am so addicted I can't do without them.

My most recent MS mouse dies recently after a relatively short life and I naturally turned to the MS website to seek its replacement. But MS have different ideas, innit ? They no longer sell a mouse with thumb buttons and so I am forced to move to another make. Question is : which ?

So if anyone has any recommendations for a wireless mouse with programmable thumb buttons I'd be grateful to hear them.

Thanks,

Boo
