When you use your mouse on your computer, the actions most frequently performed are to close windows by clicking the X in the upper right of them and return back into the pages you visit or files with a click the back button on your browser.
Today, most mice have at least four buttons, the wheel that can also serve as a button (in addition to scroll through the on-screen information, castors can also be pressed to act as a button).
Why not assign the extra buttons to the classic left and right buttons to perform a particular action that will save you time, just like going back, close a window, display the lens or any action you want?
If you have a Microsoft-branded mouse, you can use the software IntelliPoint that you can configure the actions to be assigned to buttons on your mouse. For the mice in the Logitech brand, the software SetPoint allows you to do the same thing. Finally, to all other mice (and even the Microsoft and Logitech), the software X-Mouse Button Control allows you to configure the actions to be assigned to mouse buttons in Windows, but for every software you use.
