G5 Mouse and Firefox

Mooga · 10-13-2007, 02:21 AM

So I recently got a Logitech G5 (v2) mouse. My main annoyance is that hitting mid click correctly is hard and often results in a left or right tilt. In Firefox, hitting the tilt will scroll through all my tabs and this is quite annoying. I've been looking for help or an extension that will fix this, any idea?

I'm going to poke at the drivers and hope for the best...

I don't have the same mouse you have, but I've had similar problems with my current mouse. I've just gotten used to it after a while.

I can't stand it.
I just need some way to set a side button to "open in a new background tab" to make me happy, but I can't.

Heres my advice, use the mouse as often as you can, eventually you'll get used to it and won't press it incorrectly anymore. I had the same problem with mine, but after using my mouse for a few weeks it was no longer a problem.

i just dont use the middle button

to be honest they should have made the middle click either easier, or moved the whole button elsewhere. as for firefox, i just use ctrl + click to open in a new tab

It's been ages since I configured my G5.. Somehow I have my middle button set to open up tabs that I've closed if I click on the tab bar- or if I'm on a tab, it will close it. I don't much use it though.
Only thing I don't like about the mouse is the forward button. Mostly because it's not there.

If you got the mouse very recently, i'd return it for the updated g5... better buttons

Ahhh I guess you did get it... I didn't know the v2 had tilt buttons. That's my bad for not reading the thread closely enough.
