Download X-Mouse Button Control 2.20 Download

XMouse Button Control (XMBC) allows you to create application- and window-specific profiles. This in turn allows you to configure your mouse behavior for individual applications or windows. For each profile you can also configure up to 5 ‘layers’ of different button configurations that you can switch between using keyboard shortcuts or mouse buttons.

By default, profiles are activated automatically when the mouse moves over the defined window or program.
This has many uses, for example:

• Change the behavior of the mouse over certain windows, such as making the mouse wheel change volume when hovering over the system tray or YouTube video.
• In games that do not support the extended, 4th and 5th mouse buttons, you can assign keys to each button.

XMBC allows you to change the behavior of the mouse buttons and scroll wheel. The extensive list of functions available to map the mouse buttons includes options such as:

• Send any keys using the “simulated keystrokes” editor
• Start any Windows program
• Clipboard Control (Copy/Cut/Paste)
• Media Control (Play/Pause/Stop/Volume/Mute etc.)
• Take screenshot (or active window) to clipboard
• Click-drag [Sticky buttons/keys]
• Click-drag [Sticky buttons/keys]
• Various support for specific Windows operating systems, such as Flip3D in Vista, ModernUI/Metro in Windows 8 and Virtual Desktops in Windows 10!
• And much, much more

X-Mouse Button Control currently supports Windows XP, 2003, 2003 R2, Vista, 2008, 2008 R2, 7, 8, 2012, 8.1, 2012 R2 and 10. It was originally designed to run on x64 editions of Windows, but it is fully supported on 32bit editions too! The installation automatically determines which version is required (x64 or x86) during installation.

Information on installation/upgrade

The installer will automatically close an existing instance of XMBC so you don’t need to close or uninstall an old version before installing the latest.

XMouse Button Control is configured to run automatically when you log on to Windows.
This can be changed using MSConfig or the Startup tab in Task Manager on Windows 8 or later.

Claim

• A mouse and driver that supports 5 buttons. Note: If your mouse has 5 buttons, but the fourth and fifth buttons do nothing by default – XMBC may not be for you. This software relies on the driver sending standard 4th and 5th mouse button messages which are usually BACK/NEXT by default in browsers and other programs. That said, you can still assign the standard 2 buttons and scroll wheel.< /li>
• A compatible version of Microsoft Windows. X-Mouse Button Control supports all 32bit (x86) and 64bit (x64) editions of Windows from Windows XP to 10, including Windows Server editions
