Customize Your Mouse Buttons

X-Mouse Button Control is a free Windows app that lets you customize all the various buttons on your mouse so that they are a bit more useful, and the best part is that you can customize it on a per-app basis. For example, in your web browser you may want to use the extra buttons on your mouse to navigate back/forward through your browsing history, but maybe in Microsoft Word you want those buttons to perform copy/paste operations.

This app will let you do all of that and more. Here’s a rundown of the more useful operations you can choose from:

  • Copy/Cut/Paste
  • Volume Up/Down/Mute
  • Media Player control
  • Send a custom keystroke sequence
  • Launch your email (or any other) application.
  • Capture screen (or active window) image to clipboard.
  • Click-Drag [Sticky Buttons].
  • Save and restore desktop icon positions.
  • Vista (and Windows 7) support including some Vista/7 only featurs such as ‘Flip 3D’.
