I just picked up the new wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 mouse from Microsoft. I have been using the corded non-tilt version for a long time now and fiercly love it. The wireless version killed batteries but this one seems to last longer...
Anyway, there is a slight problem with the 5.X version of their software, they killed literally half of the programable buttons you can assign any of your five buttons! Well gee, what would we do with the five buttons then?
My forward thumb button was set to ALT+TAB and my large thumb button was set to ESC. Great for games, and ALT+TAB defintly helped me flip between things with great ease. Now all I have is a 'Next Window' option and NO ESC option. Disable doesn't disable anything but my sanity.
I have the hex values of the version 4.X software which unfortunitly does not support the tilt wheel, hence it would not really have great support for games in the future for example. Plus the 5.X software has a couple other nice features anyway.
Here are the hex values for the 4.X version of the Intellipoint software (registry values of course)...
Well now I can't find the dam thing! :-| Hmm, I'll look, but in the meantime, does anyone know where the keyboard buttons are assigned in the registry? I think that would be something I could play with for now :cheesy: .
