I bought a NexxTech 8 button Precision Pro mouse. It works well as a standard mouse, but the 3 extra buttons cannot be bound in games.

Is anyone aware of any mouse button binding utility, maybe it'll bind it to a keystroke, and then I can bind the button to a keystroke?

I read Logitech's MX series has some game config app for their 8 button mice... I suppose there is always this:

Just thought I'd mention that there's a 1600 dpi MX518 now that's better than the 800 dpi MX510. I considered getting one, but ended up going with the MX1000 because I needed the wireless capability.

Just out of interest, how many fingers do you have on each hand?

4 per hand... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif Are you asking why I would want 8 buttons for gaming? Kinda obvious. Or are you just confusing me.
