If you want more in-depth information, go to the ‘Detailed Setup’ below. I assigned to the ESC key but it was pointless after all, the whole point of VIM is not to use the mouse… I am now considering is to assign it to Rocket, the emoji app or the browser next tab.Go to the interactive setup guide for quick interactive setup instructions. I tried to use it to fire AlfredApp - not bad, but not the best as I can fire it with the other hand anyway. I am still experimenting with the other button the issue is that once you start customising these buttons, two are nowhere near enough… for example, I assigned the free one to the browser back button, but then I miss the forward one (and also it’s too risky, I can click it by mistake and lose work). One of the thumb buttons is used to navigate through spaces it felt a bit awkward at first (the mouse cursor doesn’t move, but the windows do) but I got used to it. Obviously I left the standard left and right buttons as they are, and the mousewheel for document scrolling. After that you are good to go and you can start configuring everything. Eventually I learned that you need to install software called “Logi Options” (here is the Logi Options download page) which will ask for a few permissions (be aware, in case you start doing something else and the pop up window is hidden). Logitech’s is the typical huge corporate website geared towards marketing, where finding stuff is not always intuitive.

The mouse is plug and play, but configuring those thumb buttons was more of a struggle.

I recommend it if you have pain issues The software I didn’t have issues getting used to the main buttons, but the extra thumb buttons took a while getting used to. The mouse feelss nice and it’s comfortable.
