who actually uses these buttons as back/forward page in the browser? it's been the default configuration for decades at this point but that shit never felt right to methe millisecond you might save by just not clicking on the browser button is not worth the annoyance of accidently pressing one of these buttons and these are not time sensitive actions anywaythank you for reading this very important rant, had to finally get it off my chest
>>108950145>who actually uses these buttons as back/forward page in the browser?me
>>108950145I do, or I did before my logishit mouse disintegrated. In Firefox if text is highlighted the right click menu doesn't by default show a "back" button so I got used to using the dedicated mouse button. I used to use the right click menu because it's easier than moving to the back button in the menu bar. Also I think the mouse back button works on hover without changing the active window, like scroll does, but my logishit mouse has been disintegrated for so long I can't be sure I remember correctly. Hope your chest feels better.
>>108950145I do use them as back/forward in browsers. There's no forward button in browsers anymore, so that's the only way to do that quickly.
>>108950145me.>>108950184yes there is dude and everywhere except Edge it's turned on by default, even on Edge, it's trivial to turn on.
>>108950145I use them as middle click (comfier than pressing down the wheel) and Ctrl. Makes most productivity apps far easier to use.
>>108950145i use them and miss them when they aren't there. now all we need is another set that scrolls through tabs the same way.
Mouse5 is TeamSpeak PTTMouse4 is bound to melee
>>108950145Me, on my mouse they're heavy enough it's impossible to press by accident, they also work on Dolphin which is great when sorting files
You sound extremely obese and/or deformed if you accidentally press those buttons
>>108950145mouse4 and mouse5 serve only to switch weapons in tf2
>>108950145I used to when they were a new, cool thing.
>>108950415Or maybe I just want the freedom to pick up my mouse however I want.
>>108950145I only use these for "use" key in games (IMO better than E) and Push-To-Talk
>>108950218>PTTincel
>>108950184alt+arrow left or right
>>108950145I do, and in cs2 they are aimbot/triggerbot buttons.
>>108950145I use them too. By accident, and then I curse like crazy, because it only happens once a year or so and catches me by surprise each time.
>>108950145I do.
>>108950145>who actually uses these buttons as back/forward page in the browser?most people
>>108950145MeI also use horizontal scroll a lotThey're the only extra buttons on my mouse and keyboard I haven't rebound to function keys
>>108950145I have the side buttons set to Home/End because I use those constantly, and my wheel is already set to scroll a page up/down per tick. But when I got a tilt wheel, I set the tilt to Back/Forward, and now I'm addicted to that too.
>>108950145I do. You an retard.
>>108950218Objectively correct config
>>108950145>who actually uses these buttons as back/forward page in the browser?
>>108950145I rebind them to Home/End for getting to the top/bottom of web pages quickly.
>>108950145>who actually uses these buttons as back/forward page in the browser?I do constantly, only I also have 2 buttons on the pinky side so it's actually the front buttons are back/forward so it feels more logical (and then the other buttons are left/right arrow).
Side buttons: copy/pasteWheel tilt: back/forward in browsers, or undo/redo in editors
>>108950145I never "upgraded" past a 3-button mouse because it is bloat.
>>108954324Side buttons: back/forwardMiddle click: paste
>>108950145I use mine as volume buttons. But I also have another pair of side buttons which I use as alt and ctrl to quickly download/open shit in new tab.
>>108950145i only use them when i accidentally click back and then have to click forward, or in vidya gaymes, accidentally throw a grenade, then have to quickload
>>108950145i use backspace to go back
>>108950145I use Backspace and Enter.Enter can be used to confirm all kinds of dialogues, or to send messages, it's actually super convenient to have on the mouse. Backspace makes the browser go to the previous page (if not, there's https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/go-back-with-backspace/eekailopagacbcdloonjhbiecobagjci?hl=en&pli=1 ), and it's also more convenient than you'd expect once you get used to it.
>>108950145All the time, use them in IDE also (go back to previous file) and in the file explorer.
>>108952343Suka blyet
>>108950145I bind one of the key to make dual pistols shoot at assault rifle's rate of fire in L4D.
>>108950145I use every single one of my G502 buttons in 2 layers with G-Shift, shit's comfy.>the millisecond you might save by just not clicking on the browser button>the annoyance of accidently pressing one of these buttonsAre you superhuman or subhuman, pick one already.Anyway, nobody wants to point and click for something they do regularly if they can help it, and I do have plenty of use for them even outside of vidya, but especially in vidya.You've reminded me I should probably drop G-Shift and just set up AHK for the same functionality without a dead button that serves only as a switch.
>>108950145What else would you use it for OP?
>>108950168Oh wow. Does his chest have nipples on it? Oh wow.
>>108950641Not using num keys so you can just go to the weapon you want directly is crazy.
>>108950145I use them literally all the time to go back/forward in the browser, in windows explorer, and I usually map the back button to a dodge action in games (which was something I started doing since I played nier automata since there was no convenient keyboard key for that, and dodging is essential to play the game properly)
>>108950145>who actually uses these buttons as back/forward page in the browser?I do, and not only in the browser
>>108955692middle click alternativemedia mute
>>108955692I change them to Ctrl + and Ctrl - there's always some dogshit website that needs rescaling. Volume up and down would be pretty handy too.
>>108950145>who actually uses these buttons as back/forward page in the browser?I've mapped them as such and I absolutely hate it. I have NEVER pressed them on purpose but constantly press them by accident.
>>108950145I've always used it as back/forward since I got a mouse like that, but I switch places so back is the top button and forward is the bottom button, since I use back more and that button is where my thumb rests
>>108950145I use them for voice chat in hell divers 2.Cant say ive used them for anything other than auxilliary mappings for games.
>>108950145I do all the time in all the programs
>>108950145I use the back button all the time but almost never the forward button
mei try to move my hands as little as possible.>if i'm already typing, i'll use alt+arrows.>if my hand is on my mouse, i use those buttons
>>108950145I map them to home/end so I can switch back and forth to the top or bottom of the page in the browser.
>>108952343Cyka
>>108950145My scroll wheel is fucked so I use them to scroll with autohotkey.
>>108950145I use these button instead.
>>108950145I use one of them as the middle click, much more comfortable for me.
>>108950145I use them as melee/grenade in FPS games.I claw grip my mouse and it has a little thumb lip at the bottom for me to rest on so I never accidentally hit these buttons.I just ignore them unless I'm gaming.
>>108958380fucking desklet, my mouse is 6.5'' away from my keyboard edge at neutral.
>>108961286my desk is 84" wide
i still use mouse gestures like i have for the last 25 years desumy current mouse actually doesn't even have side buttons
>>108950184wut? It's on every major browser. Even de-googled shit like helium has a forward button.
>m4: crouch>m5: sprintThe most kino uses for them
>>108952314nothing unusual about you wanting to hear me piss anon
media control
>>108950145I've been using them for a long, long time. Probably ever since I got a mouse which had those buttons, which would be 10+ years ago I think.
I use them for page/up page down.
me when i slip and have to rewrite the whole fucking post
>>108956168Ctrl + scroll does the same.
>>108950166It's less reliable and flexible than a new tab.
