Logitech G5 mouse Options

[GIJOE]

Does anyone own one of these things... just got mine today and although I love the feel and accuracy I can't seem to set up the buttons the way I want and COD/UO doesn't see the extra keys. I would appreciate if someone could join me on vent and walk me though the setup of the buttons.

The book says that it is highly programmable in many games, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.

The thing I miss the most is starting windows explorer on the center wheel button. I work all day looking for files and such and it is damn annoying not to be able to start something so simple at the touch of one button.

I prefer the logitech mx518 there are more buttons to do thingies with. I rarely use the slow down function, but it does help sometimes. it also has a forward and backward button on the side for internet use, which I use for a talk key in vent. I also use a zboard. I is a combination of the game pady style with a regualr keyboard. Some glitches anger me, like sometimes it is not recognized, but it is a VERY comfortable and programmable tool..

as you can see by my play they make no difference, but the do help. and are cheaper... total together was around 80 bucks.
