asking for the solution tends to make the solution appear elsewhere :)

 

Set the buttons to back and forward and use AutoHotKey with this script:

XButton1::
Send, {Lwin down}{Left}{Lwin Up}
Return
 
XButton2::
Send, {Lwin down}{Right}{Lwin up}
Return

I bought an M705 wireless mouse from logitech with the intention of using the "back" and "forward" buttons on the side for Win+Left and Win+right for window management, but the Setpoint software won't let me type the windows key as a keyboard function, and it's not in the preset functions menu. Any idea how to do this? The gesture support for that feature (hold a button and move the mouse that direction) is only available in Win8 :( A third party program would work as well.

windows key is meant to be a shell key that only the OS uses. you cannot assign it to the m705.

i know, i have one.

 

i'd suggest making the top bumpers control volume, that's what i do.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Would there be a way to change the scancode of another key or shortcut (minimize/maximise maybe) to win+left? it can obviously perform windows functions

I know about synapse, I already use it on my other computer, but their wireless mouse is expensive :P
