Mouse button to show desktop?

[dukefett]

Hi i just got a Razor Pro mouse, and i was wondering if there was anyway to create a macro or anything that would "show desktop" when i'm in the macro box of the config utility, it doesn't register me hitting the windows key to assign it. So if there's any other way to do it, that'd be much appreciated, thanks.

Open notepad and enter the following code :

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

then save the file as "Show Desktop.scf". Map this to whatever button on your mouse using the Razer driver software.

Is there any way to do this with Logitech Mouseware? It doesn't seem to offer the option to customize a function. It only presents a drop-down list of options.

I'm not at my computer so I can't check, but what about setting it to run a key combo, and then put in Win+D , which is the built-in command in Windows for the Windows key to show the dekstop. I would think it would work for Razer's software as well?

I think you can if you use logitech's modded setpoint drivers. It's called UberOptions, and was made by someone from logitech forums... you might be able to set it to launch an application, or just a combination of keys (Windows + D for desktop)

I thought about mentioning uberOptions, but are mice that came with MouseWare drivers able to use the new SetPoint software?

Sweet, Thanks!!! Now I can program that last unused button for something!
