doit, doit now!

I forgot to point this out earlier: the diNovo mouse, the Logitech MX900, has 4 extra buttons that can be reassigned to various functions. I like to use OSX’s built-in support for mapping those buttons to Dashboard and Exposé. It makes using both Exposé and Dashboard significantly easier and I think more useful.

You can map them to whatever you want in System Preferences -> Dashboard & Exposé. Figuring out which button is which takes a few tries, though, so I have slaved through that horrible chore for you. The results:

• Push down on the scroll wheel = Mouse Button 3
• Rear Thumb Button = Mouse Button 4
• Front Thumb Button = Mouse Button 5
• Weird little button on top = Mouse Button 6

Go to town, kiddos…
