More than two buttons is a waste
Browsing without a forward and backward buttons on the mouse is a fucking chore
I use those mouse gesture browser extensions. Hold the right-click button, then swipe right or left. It's probably even more ergonomic than clicking those extra buttons (I have only ever used generic mice). Not that I am against extra buttons for other purposes, though.
I often have to run through folder systems on Windows so feature parity is important. At the office I have a mouse who has these buttons "hidden" on the scrollwheel. I can just push the wheel left or right. That's pretty ergonomic and actually feels quicker than having thumb buttons on the side of the mouse :)
Maybe if youre handicapped in some way
Not even a scroll wheel?
I'm severely handicapped without back and forward buttons.
also honestly I'd appreciate some extra buttons that are usually left unbound for macros and stuff
How so?
I'm so used to it than I break down crying when I miss it. Unless I'm not using a mouse; if I'm using keyboard only I use keyboard shortcuts to achieve the same effect.
Same here sometimes except for the crying
Yeah wheels are fine.
