[edit] Special features
The users can define their mouse's buttons to execute any program or action they desire, and can even also define them for different usages in different programs.
[edit] Limitations
As of version 6.1, the program still doesn't let the users edit either extra multimedia buttons (i.e. extra buttons above the standard 3/5 ones), such as the ones Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 possesses, or the mapping of the scroll wheel.
