Description: The Cordless Click! Plus is a mouse shipped with the Logitech Cordless Desktop LX 700 set that includes a great keyboard and this mouse. I dont know if the mouse is available seperately, but the keyboard isn't.

The mouse has the regular two buttons scrollwheel (clickable and tiltable) plus two thumb buttons. The thumb buttons work with the same configuration that I use for my mx700. The mouse connects via PS/2 directly from the unified basestation for the keyboard/mouse.

Heres my xorg.conf section, and the fix-mouse script to be placed in .xinitrc or similar vm startupfile.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "logitech"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Name" "PS2 Logitech Wheel Mouse"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

The button amount and zaxismapping are the key items here. The problem is, the order is wrong. So, the order needs to be fixed every X startup. Heres how:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

After issuing that command (preferably in a startup file as mentioned before), all buttons function and can be used e.g. in firefox to back, forward, or just bind em with xbindkeys to functions of your choosing. Its great having xmms next / prev at the slight movement of your thumb on the mouse.. (;

The mousewheel tilting function is something im having troubles on. Increasing the amount of buttons odesnt seem to help in getting them recognized, and I simply cant get them to emit a signal of any kind. A slight minus, but not a big one.
