Mouse manufacturers will not rest until there's just an entire mechanical keyboard on the side of your mouse. In this Weekend Question we asked: what do you use all those little buttons for anyway?
I stubbornly don't use the side buttons. I stick to l-click, r-click and mouse wheel. And I occasionally accidentally hit the sensitivity buttons too.I've never used the side buttons on any mouse, and I prefer a heavier mouse that isn't loaded with a bunch of buttons that I'll never use. Left mouse button, right mouse button, and scroll wheel are all I need in a game. I've been using Rats for years, with my current"mouse" being a Rat 8.1.
I do occasionally use one of the side buttons. In Vermintide 2 I mapped one of them to the tag function, because otherwise I would forget to tag stuff or not be able to in the middle of combat. I've also mapped it to the melee attack, grenade throw or going prone in other games.I always use ambidextrous mice with buttons on both sides, and I remap important keys to them.
The other side buttons get a lot more use. Outside of gaming, its merely the forward and back buttons when browsing the web. When i play games the use for the keys are more varied depending on the game tbh. At a basic level its the"use" button. So i can free up the E or F key. other times i bind grenades or recovery.
