I have 10, 11, and 12 set to switch to different profiles, and then switch back after another button is pressed. Profile switching is an extremely useful feature, as it essentially allows you to nest macros behind other buttons. You can configure one button to press an array of key combinations, so the options you have are fairly limitless.

Corsair’s Utility Engine is very powerful, offering full macro support and multiple profiles. Setup will depend on the mouse you own and its software, but most mouse manufacturers’ utilities will let you do similar things. But, on a modern system, you’re going to use a mouse at some point. It’s best to make the most of it and not let it slow you down, especially if you have a mouse with loads of buttons anyway. For some apps, having both hands on the keyboard is much quicker than using a mouse in the first place, which is something every vim user can attest to. Keyboard shortcut aficionados will still swear by their methods.

Binding these to mouse buttons makes Windows virtual desktops much easier to use, and will help clean up your cluttered mess of windows. On a smaller scale, I do the same for switching back and forth between Chrome tabs (and any other app that has tabs) using 1 and 2 for left and right, rather than using hotkey combinations or clicking top bar with the mouse.īy the way, Windows has the same kind of virtual desktop switching as macOS does, but you might not have even noticed if you don’t know the hotkeys (Windows+Control+Arrow Keys). So I’ve bound switch desktop left and right to 4 and 5 on the mouse’s numpad, which saves me from moving my arm around so much. Switching between desktops on macOS is easy with the trackpad, but to do it while using a mouse I’d have to hold the Ctrl key and press an arrow key, which would use my right hand anyway. It doesn’t have to be huge-a second or two saved on something you do hundreds of times a day adds up over time and makes your work feel a lot snappier.įor example, I work on a MacBook and prefer using a mouse in addition to the built-in trackpad. Try to think of anything that wastes your time, even small things. Out of the box, there’s not much having extra buttons does for you right away you have to bind the macros yourself to fit your needs.
