Hello forum,

I own this mouse:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/sculpt-mobile-mouse/43U-00017#details

It works fine. Actually, it works great and I love it.

Recently, I noticed it has a fourth button on it (I never realized it was an actual, clickable button... >.< ). The manufacturer's website calls it the "Windows button." It seems to serve no purpose in Mac OS, and cannot be bound to any function in the operating system (ie. dashboard), nor as a control in any of my games. It is as if the button-press goes unnoticed by the computer.

I tried downloading the Microsoft Intellipoint software, which are the drivers for the mouse. It did show some customization ability, however there seems to be a lack of option to change the function of that particular button.

Ideally, I would like this button to be recognized by my computer as "Mouse4"

Anyone know if theres a way to do this? Perhaps third party software?

Thanks in advance! :D
