Give your mouse buttons a job

Got a mouse with extra buttons? Routinewheel can give each one a job.

Go to the Keyboard page, and press Set up my mouse, under the keyboard.

First, pick your mouse from the list.

Not listed? Pick the shape it looks most like. This one has two side buttons.

Now open Mapping test, and press Start the test.

Press each button when it asks. The list shows what each one sends right now.

If a side button shows up as F thirteen, or another key, that's fine. Your mouse's own software set it up that way.

Next to the button you want, press Use this button. We'll take the back button.

The Keyboard page opens with that button picked. Choose what it should do. Run a macro, and pick yours.

Press Save. Now that button runs your macro, in any program.

Left and right click always stay as they are, so you never lose your normal clicks.

You'll find more short videos at routinewheel dot com, slash learn.
