If you’re using a computer, then odds are your hand is on the mouse right now. But couldn’t that mouse be more convenient if it had a double click feature and an easy shortcut to copy text? With X-Mouse Button Control, this can be a reality within a few minutes.
There are multiple options to map buttons on your mouse. This can be a simple one-key activation. You can even create an entire macro for swapping screens. It may be a bit complicated when you first see the interface, since everything is text-based and you may confuse selection areas. But once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.
One of the great benefits of X-Mouse is that it can support multiple users. This option is perfect for families, as each individual can create their own profile. This ensures that nobody will mess with your mouse settings. Keys can also be set to act differently within different applications. For example, you can set the option to close browser tabs in Chrome and make the same shortcut copy text in Microsoft Word.
