Whenever I’m working on a big photoshop file and I find myself using a tool very often, I bind the side buttons to that tool. At minimum I always keep the redo, undo buttons binded to the mouse.
Whenever I’m browsing the web I have forwards and backwards binded so I don’t have to move my mouse across the screen to go back a page.
It’s all trivial stuff but it makes my workflow slightly more fluid. I initially bought the mouse for gaming, but it has been super useful for me outside of gaming
I have a mouse with 6 buttons on the side and it’s great for gaming. When I used to play fortnite I had all the building mapped there so I could do all my building with my right thumb and it wouldnt distract my left hand from movement controls
A mouse with programmable keys on the side. It’s so convenient combining control keys with mouse movements in one hand.
Are they useful outside of gaming ?
They have come in handy while using design software
can you give some examples where it would come handy?
Yeah sure.

I’ve had Shift+W programmed to my thumb button. Way more relaxed way to sprint in most games.

It’s certainly great for gaming. I didn’t expect it would make things so much easier on everyday use as well.
Get the Logitech G600 and have essentially 24 buttons on the side (12 + a “shift” button to give each of those 12 a different command).
To be fair, I only use about 6 of those buttons, haha.
If the software allows it you can have a button that changes between mouse modes with different button mappings. Infinite buttons
I guess you’d have a mode for entering the name of a mode then. Like vim. A whole mode that’s just navigating your collection of modes.
Ngl I’ve thought of doing that if it ever gets to >4 modes.
