Also, most modern software development tools have started interpreting those two buttons as going forward and backward in the files code you've been editing. )Īnd then two of the buttons are the traditional web browser forward/back buttons. In short, it wins because you don't have to remember how recently you used the app or what its icon looks like, you just remember what the window looked like and roughly where it was on your screen. Once you get used to it, this is very fast and intuitive, much more so than ⌘+Tabbing your way through your recent applications. One of the buttons opens the Mission Control view in macOS, which shrinks all the open windows to fit on the screen at once, allowing you to quickly click on the one you want. It's a bit like how the 'back' button on Android solves 90% of problems. Again useful in all manner of situations, from web browsing to editing files. One of the buttons just closes the current tab. Two of the buttons switch between next and previous tabs this is useful in web browsers, Slack, and code editors, saving you moving your cursor up and clicking the adjacent tab. The main thing that is great about this mouse is the fact that where most mice have two or three side buttons, the G602 (and now, 604) has 8. I've been using G602 (which the G604 is the successor to) for a long time, at home and work. People talk about how you have more stuff than you think in your house when you go to pack, and for better or worse I will say that we have about as much stuff as I thought we would have, it just takes a long time to pack it all.īut one bright spot this week has been SteerMouse adding support for the Logitech G604. There's no doubt a way to make it start on boot, but I'm too lazy to look it up.Steph and I are in the middle of the process of moving (big moving day is the day after tomorrow) and so it's been a long week of work, eat takeout, pack until bedtime. The only issue is that Intellipoint does not start automatically after the Mac boots I have to open the settings to get it going. With those settings my mouse works the same in SU as it does on Windows. I also checked the Enable vertical scrolling button on the Scrolling tab. Upper Button = Back (I don't use the upper button in SU, so this setting doesn't matter to me)

In the Intellipoint software, I made these button assignments:

I have a Microsoft Mouse 3000, which I assume is similar to your 3500. Even if I configure command + control as the function of the central button, it doesn't work out. It has a software, Microsoft Intellipoint, but I can only set up generic commands to the central button.
