I've been using the Kensington Optical Elite (model 72121) for
some<br>
time now. It is a five button (programmable) mouse with scroll. I<br>
can't imagine anything better, unless it would be a wireless
version<br>
of same.<br>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>How do programable buttons work in Tiger?
I'm a DV and Digital Photographer so its allways nifty and time saving
to have a programmable mouse but how complex can you get? I assume
there are third party apps to help with that but I'm not sure what
mice they work with and how complex I can get. I was eying some
tonight at Best Buy... I like wired though because I notice a lag with
wireless.<br>
<br>
Lemme know what you all know.<br>
<br>
Also can I remap FCP's Mouse buttons?</blockquote>

<div>Kensington has an application (MouseWorks) which
allows you to set your preferences for the five buttons (plus
scrolling). Very well designed. With it you can assign any one
of the five button to:</div>
<div><br></div>
<blockquote>Click</blockquote>
<blockquote>Double-click</blockquote>
<blockquote>Right click</blockquote>
<blockquote>More clicks (i.e.Shift-click, Option-click, click,
Command-click and more)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Launch url... (takes you to a selection
window)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Launch file... (takes you to a selection
window)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Keystrokes....(allows you to send a user-defined set of
key strokes, e.g. command-W--great for closing
windows)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Paste text....(pastes preset user-defined
text)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Scrolling...(swap horizontal and vertical scrolling
etc.)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Application menu...(drop down menu of all open
applications...you select)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Popup Menu (Lots of stuff.....)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Do Nothing (for the nihilist in the crowd--actually useful
if you are in the habit of squeezing the mouse in the wrong
places.)</blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have set mine to:</div>
<blockquote><br></blockquote>
<blockquote>Click</blockquote>
<blockquote>Double click</blockquote>
<blockquote>Right click</blockquote>
<blockquote>Command-W</blockquote>
<blockquote>Display the open applications menu.</blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>As a photographer you will enjoy the very fine sensitivity to
mouse movement.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div>
