A mouse with programmable keys on the side. It’s so convenient combining control keys with mouse movements in one hand.

I have a mouse with 6 buttons on the side and it’s great for gaming. When I used to play fortnite I had all the building mapped there so I could do all my building with my right thumb and it wouldnt distract my left hand from movement controls

It’s certainly great for gaming. I didn’t expect it would make things so much easier on everyday use as well.

Get the Logitech G600 and have essentially 24 buttons on the side (12 + a “shift” button to give each of those 12 a different command).

To be fair, I only use about 6 of those buttons, haha.

If the software allows it you can have a button that changes between mouse modes with different button mappings. Infinite buttons

I’ve had Shift+W programmed to my thumb button. Way more relaxed way to sprint in most games.

Are they useful outside of gaming ?
