SensibleSideButtons: Customize Your Mouse Side Buttons

Free, open-source Windows application for remapping mouse side buttons, offering more control and customization options

What is SensibleSideButtons?

SensibleSideButtons is a lightweight, customizable software designed to enhance the experience of using side mouse buttons on Windows. It provides an easy way to assign custom actions and shortcuts to the extra buttons commonly found on gaming mice.

Unlike most mice that come with the manufacturer's software for programming buttons, SensibleSideButtons is hardware-agnostic software that works with all brands. It gives you more flexibility and control to personalize buttons the way you want.

The intuitive user interface makes it simple to set up button functions like media controls, application/webpage shortcuts, text macros, clipboard tools, and more. With the macro editor, you can automate sequences of keystrokes and mouse actions.

One of the major advantages of SensibleSideButtons is that it runs silently in the system tray without being intrusive or resource-intensive. The click actions and shortcuts will work across all your applications and games.

With its portable nature and small executable size, you can install this utility on multiple systems to sync mouse profiles. SensibleSideButtons is free to use with no ads, making it a popular open source alternative for customizing mouse buttons.
