X-Mouse Button Control

X-Mouse Button Control is a windows application to remap your mouse buttons.

This software is designed and written for Microsoft Windows XP/2003 x64 Edition but I have also, from version 1.5, built a 32bit version.

You are able to provide an application specific mappings, which means one application can use the mouse differently from another. This is useful for games which do not inherently support the extended mouse buttons, because you can map keys to each button.

What's more, the list of functions available to map to is somewhat more comprehensive than the 32bit MS Intellimouse Software can handle, including things like:

Copy/Cut/Paste
Volume Up/Down/Mute

Media Player control

Send a custom keystroke sequence

Launch you email (or any) application.

Capture screen (or active window) image to clipboard.
Click-Drag [Sticky Buttons].
Vista support with some Vista only featurs such as 'Show Sidebar', 'Flip 3D' etc.

Please note, whilst the 32bit version will work on Windows XP 32 and 64bit editions, the 64bit version will only work on Windows x64 edition.
It is recommended that you use the 64bit version on x64 editions of windows XP/2003 simply because it is pure 64bit and should perform better than the 32bit version which would rely on WoW64.

Requirements:

A mouse and driver that supports 5 buttons. NOTE: If your mouse has 5 buttons but the 4th and 5th buttons don't do anything in XP64 by default - this probably wont work for you. This software relies on the driver to send the default 4th and 5th mouse button messages which in XP64 default to BACK/NEXT in IE. Actually, a 2 or 3 button mouse can be customised but is there any point?!
Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 x64 edition for the 64 bit version
Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 for the 32bit version.

Download the latest verison:

64bit (x64) Version: Prefered Link Alternate Mirror
32bit (x86) Version: Prefered Link Alternate Mirror

Note: Some older versions are available on Planet AMD64 but I prefer people to use the links above simple so I know how popular XMouse is (or at least, how many people have downloaded it! :) )

If you have problems installing, make sure you have the latest Windows Installer , by running Windows Update or downloading it here

Upgrade Information

Before upgrading XMouse button control, you should close the current version (ie. make sure it is not running). Otherwise the new version will not be applied until you reboot your computer. Once the upgrade is complete, you can manually run XMouse Button Control by selecting it in the START menu.

By default, XMouse Button Control is configured to run automatically when you log on to Windows.

FAQs

I have moved all the FAQ's to the forum to keep things consistant. Please take a look at this thread
Please be aware that i have had many requests for XMouse but unfortunately I have also have far less time these days to look into it.
I am primarily focusing on bugs that stop current functionality working rather than adding new functionality.
