you can use logitech's "set point" software combined with uberoptions to customize the mouse buttons to do whatever you want. It would involve a combination of max hotkeys and mouse software to do this, so for example if I put "undo" on one of my thumb buttons, I am actually binding "ctrl+z" to that thumb button. I wouldnt…
Hi, I'm working with someone whom I've known for a while at a technology company who is developing a multi-button mouse. It has about 20 buttons not including your regular left, right, & scroll wheel click. It also has an analog stick for the thumb side. It's more along the lines of a gaming MMO mouse but he wants it to be…
There is a software developer on board and he is indeed making customizable macros possible. Initially it was WoW that got us going. And personally the official WoW MMO mouse is a piece of crap we feel. Hold in a button and it sticks, really chincy. It will come in two flavors, we are partnering with OpenOffice and it'll…
I've used a Nostromo N52 in conjuntion w/ a mouse before and it's a cool but slightly bulky setup. This sounds like a really cool idea for a mouse, but utterly fails IMHO if the buttons are not eventually user programmable through macros.
Hehe yeah, totally! I m actually trying to find a way to map maya-style viewport navigation to keypresses, kindof like Amapi back in the days, ... to avoid hours and hours of repeated mouse dragging just to rotate stuff. Such macros assigned to the extra buttons of this mouse ... would kick ass!!
Neat! Though I wonder how easy it is to use all of those buttons. Most of them look like they would feel kind of the same under your fingertips, might get confusing. I bet with some practice it would be all good though.
Hard to tell from the pics, but some buttons are convex and others are concave so the user can get some difference in tactile feedback without having to look down. I believe a pro version will be re-visited in the future with structural and software changes based on community feedback.
20 Buttons on a mouse? sounds cool! I always run out of hotkeys for my left hand to use so this is a great idea. Pre-configured setups are ok, but like 8FtSpider said, I think most people will want to program their own hotkeys. Automatic switching between different application hotkey profiles is a must too. I look forward…
Sorry I wanted to get back to this. So are you mapping those functions to the buttons with macros? maxscripts? The prototypes cost about $1,000 each but we're seeing if we can get that price down. I can still probably get a few to send sometime in the future if anyone is still interested. I won't have a whole bunch to send…
Yeah, I use an n52te gamer pad and I can tab threw 3 different custom setups. http://www.n52te.com/ It has its own software that comes with it and some sort of built in memory device so if I take the pad to a different computer and plug it in; all the custom keys in all 3 setups stay in tact on the gamer pad. If you set it…
