I just got the Deathadder 3500 mouse and so far I'm liking it. Only problem I have is that I dont know how to program the 2 side buttons as forward and back for webpages. From the list of buttons I see stuff from copy & paste to like play/pause but no forward/back! Can anyone help me?
Got a tip for us?

Which Driver/Software?
I don't know as I don't own a razer mouse (went with the G5).
It would help if you gave us which program you are using and the drivers installed on the mouse.
I do know that if you go to razer support there are mac drivers, but supposedly you need to install them on a windows computer...

Sorry for not stating them. I'm using the program that came with the razer deathadder that allows you to program buttons, and the driver i'm using is from the site, Razer DeathAdder 3500DPI Mac Driver v2.01
thanks!
thanks!
i found no way to do it after fiddling with it for about 2 hours
i gave up and just made this my config:
Wheel Click - Play / Pause iTunes
Thumb buttons - Next / Previous song
Works good but I only use the DeathAdder at home so it never come unplugged from my monitor. I use the Magic Mouse when I'm away from home.

I'm in the same boat. I tried configuring a macro on the thumb buttons 4 and 5, but CMD-left arrow and CMD-right arrow, despite performing the desired function when pressed on the keyboard, do not seem to work when programmed as a macro.
I'd also like to set the middle mouse button to CMD-click to provide easier selection of multiple files in addition to the closing of tabs, but there does not appear to be any way of doing that with OS X driver ver. 2.01.
The pass-through option works fine for the middle mouse button, but the thumb buttons do not seem to do anything in that mode.
I tried searching the knowledge base to no avail. I will now try sending an email to techsupport@razersupport.com.

I don't have a Razer, but have you tried Steermouse? It seems to work well with most mice that aren't very well supported on the Mac.
I have to use it to configure my Logitech MX 5500 Revolution bluetooth mouse, and it works great.

You don't have to pay for the driver if you don't mind the 10 second wait when opening its preferences.
Although even with usb overdrive, I can't get the forward and back buttons to work on my Orochi....
Hi there!
This is the simple (and free solution): Download the Mac OS X Razer app from razersupport.com.
Then remap button 4 to advanced function -> macros -> press command + right and hit apply. Command + left for button 5, it should look something like this image:

Do this:
Go to the button you want to configure (probably #5), select Advanced from the pop-up menu.
A little side window opens. Click on Macro.
In the pop-up next to Down and Up buttons, select Command (it probably says F1).
Click the Down button once.
Hold down [ (open bracket) and without releasing the key, click the Apply or OK button. It's a two-handed operation.
(fyi, CMD-[ is a better Back command than CMD-left arrow. More apps -- like the Finder! -- recognize it as Back)

[doublepost=1518235783][/doublepost]download an "app" from razerzone in the software section and go to Synapse 2.0 (legend) download it then you can program your buttons like I did with my Deathadder
