Upgraded my mouse game!

    Local computer store had an 11 button G502 Hero corded mouse on sale for under $50 US so I figured I’d give it a try.

    So far I’ve setup buttons for:

    – Copy

    – Paste

    – Paste In Place

    – Esc

    What other custom button’s are you all running?

    Save, undo and redo are a must.

      I did add “save” after I made my post. I like the undo & redo ideas. 🙂

        Undo is knock the mouse wheel to the left and Redo is knock to the right – probably my most used functions.

          I set up the same yesterday afternoon @Vince ! Great minds think alike. 🙂

          The undo/redo on the wheel is going to take some getting used to. Might have to try to build a macro with a few pauses into the string as when I “wheel left” it seems to repeat the undo multiple times…

            I also use the “hold down scroll wheel to pan” built in function regularly so I need to be careful not to knock the wheel into undo/redo mode by accident. Guess I might need to do some finger exercises to build up the stability of my scroll wheel finger so I don’t “knock” when I pan.🤣

    I really need to set mine up more.

    The feature I love the most on mine is the left/ right scroll wheel. Very handy for Excel sheets, but also for side to side scrolling on a set of plans.
    I also have two buttons set up to move between Tabs
