    SteerMouse is for Macs, but X-Mouse is for Windows. Pointless.

    If you use third-party mice with your Mac, you've surely noticed just how useless the side buttons are. By default, they act as a sort of crippled middle click, consigned to opening new links out from under you when you least expect it.
