The mouse has 5 buttons total: the main right and left buttons, the click-wheel, and two small buttons on the sides for things like going back and forth among visited web pages (all buttons programmable with Logitech software).

I'm not familiar with MAC a lot, but I would say that the buttons on the mouse are respond to the standard 3 and 4 buttons and if you would install any software/driver that had a configuration for more then 2 buttons, you would be able to configure them. it does not have to be a kensinngton software, it has to have an option for more than 2 button to configure.

Hey A. I got the Saitek Cyborg Unit and had it for a couple of days of game play for WOW. I didn't like it at all, some reason being, Is it felt like it was constructed "cheap". By that I mean the adjustable features of the palm pad and thumb control had too much play (loose). I didn't like the software for the Key setup either, it require to make time and effort. I would suggest the Logitech G13. Ton of option, easy plug and play, programming key can be done with just a couple key strokes. And the Dpad can be assign to control mouse. link to show and prove its easy. http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31714/section/troubleshoot/crid/411/lt_product_id/5123/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/us,en Hey A.

After my experience with Logitech I hate to support them. BUT, i have never found a mouse to equal the Logitech Revolution mouse. I have five them on my home computers and I feel disabled when I have to use a computer with another mouse. (This is the same mouse that comes with the MX5500 keyboard.) I don't think it is still in production, but it is usually available on Ebay. They are on the expensive side if you get them new, but I have had good luck with reconditioned units. Good luck.

Yes I would recommend anyone to get this its extremely useful; games or applications. I have a mouse with a lot of buttons too but after adding this device into my setup it just completes it! I would say get it, he will like it and for the price you can't go wrong. :)

It doesn't have mouse functionality per se. It will do some things a mouse does, but only because there are some supported remote control functions for some software that have corresponding mouse functions. It's like asking what mouse capabilities a keyboard has because it has up/down/left/right arrows.

There are actually two buttons which are right below the "dpi" button. It's a little hard to see in the photo but as you hold/grip the mouse (or visualize with the picture) right above where your thumb rests is the "forward" and "back" buttons. They are very slender; and very handy.

Well you have your standard Mouse1(Left)Mouse2(right)Mouse3(scrollwheel) Mouse4(Side Bottom button) Mouse5(side Upper Button) Mouse 4-5 are what pretty much make it a gaming mouse since you can use them to program in game. The Button next/on top of Mouse One is really just a auto double Click. and Your DPI Which goes Red1000,Green1600,Blue2400,White3200 DPI.

Because Logitech hasn't made this mouse in almost 6 years, and it's an AMAZINGLY popular mouse. Also are you certain the one you saw in the store was a G5 and not the new G500?

Good question! This mouse feels more like a Microsoft or Dell mouse to me. I've used Logitech mice but most have been minis or micros and the wheel is a little more raised out of the mouse on the Logitechs in my opinion. My two cents. Take it for what it's worth : ). Good luck!

I use this mouse for gaming....buttons 4@5 are used for pistol and other weapons like machine gun.... One press for each button do not need to be held down... Am very impressed with this mouse....Remember it must be an 11 button programmable mouse....Some are only 8 button......As far as I know it is only from Amazon USA at a good price.

I'm using this mouse with Windows 8 and it works perfectly. If you don't install the gaming software, it acts like a normal 3 button mouse with adjustable DPI. With the Logitech G software, you get full programmability. The software is nice if you use other logitech products since you can program everything in one place.

My bad. I realized after I posted that this thread was for a Presenter, not keyboard/mouse products. Logitech does NOT show Parts for those. Sorry about that.....

The usb link (very tiny) also links my M705 mouse. If the M510 mouse comes with a little usb connector, it can be linked, just go to logitech.com (I think, it will say in your directions), and it will give you directions to link a 2nd logitech product to the usb link.

In my personal opinion yes. It has added buttons for not only your primary and secondary weapons, but also for two gadget slots. (this is the configuration i use). Also with the G-shift button located behind the scroll wheel you can assign a second profile that you can use in game just by simply clicking it. Logitech's software is truly amazing. Razers on the other hand i find quite annoying. (I have a blackwidow ultimate keyboard). You should definitely pick this mouse up as it is one of the best i have ever used.

I only used my KVM with my MX518, and that worked fine. I can't say I ever used a KVM with my G500 though(left click switch went bad in under 1 year btw, I just bought the G700). I suspect the KVM switch would not effect the standard functionality. Any lack of operation would probably be more specific to the KVM's quality or compatibility with the mouse due to voltage or signal loss through the KVM.

Yep, three it is. One thing to note is that there are no physical left and right buttons. The upper case of the mouse is flexible at the front, and pressing it where one usually clicks a button will operate the same as separate mouse buttons.
