Gaming mouse

[Mendonky]

So recently I acquired an Anker 200dpi 7 button gaming mouse. "Great" I thought, "This will help loads with Civ!". However, when it came to programming these buttons, I had no idea what to assign them to.

Any other gaming mouse users out there? What shortcuts do you assign to those shiny extra buttons?

As someone with a 5 button mouse I find it interesting that you got one with CiV in mind. CiV is probably the only game I don't use any extra buttons for, however as far as my personal set-up goes I usually set mouse 4 to team chat (primarily VOIP, but text if that is all that's available) while mouse 5 is always my teamspeak push-to-talk. CiV tends to be such a mouse based (point and click) game that I don't imagine any shortcut being so commonly used that it would be more convenient to have it on the mouse.

I guess the main buttons I use are fortify/heal/sleep, farm, mine, road? They're like 1 keystroke though

Maybe they'd be useful for aircraft? That's about the only thing I can think of with annoying shortcuts for rebasing.

I don't have one, but if I did, I would assign one button to F9, one to CTRL+R, and one to F3. Seem to be the most commonly used keystrokes (for me). Also, one for 'diplomacy overview' (I am at a loss for which 'F' key this is at the moment ....)
