Can you program the scroll button to go back and forward on web using a Mac?

No, apparently not. The mouse does not come with a software disc to allow the user to configure its buttons/scroll wheel. My husband uses a Mac, so we plugged my LuguLake mouse into a USB port and it self-installed and worked as it should. The Macintosh Control Panel did not show the LuguLake mouse, only his Macintosh wireless mouse. There was no way to program the buttons or scroll wheel to do anything different than a basic mouse with a scroll wheel would do. There are other, more expensive vertical mice (mouses?) that come with software to allow the user to configure them. The Evoluent is one and that comes in a Macintosh specific model. The LuguLake is an excellent mouse for the money, but you get what you pay for.

Unfortunately, I am unable to answer that question, Mr. Rubert. I have a PC at home and at work...sorry.

"Yes" for Windows users and "No" for Mac users. With the Windows software downloaded from Logitech the wheel can be pressed downward for an additional button. The software allows you to select the action to be taken when the wheel is pressed. The wheel also tilts right and left and the resulting actions are also programmable. None of these additional features work with the Mac.

depends i guess on what you are going to 'scroll' in. the four buttons can be programmed, and there is a 'universal scroll' function in the button menu that can be set to the buttons. i use it mostly on a windows 98 with word 97 - legacy - works just fine for me - but anything up the windows scale i don't know about. apple, i am not acquainted with. if you are buying it 'bare bones,' then Logitech should still have the download in the trackball section. check for compatibility. to me, the best trackball ever, with a few minor exceptions. why Logitech discontinued it i have no idea. it was the pointing device of the year when it first came out in several magazines. depends i guess on what you are going to 'scroll' in. the four buttons can be programmed, and there is a 'universal scroll' function in the button menu that can be set to the buttons. i use it mostly on a windows 98 with word 97 - legacy - works just fine for me - but anything up the windows scale i don't know about. apple, i am not acquainted with. if you are buying it 'bare bones,' then Logitech should still have the download in the trackball section. check for compatibility. to me, the best trackball ever, with a few minor exceptions. why Logitech discontinued it i have no idea. it was... » Read More depends i guess on what you are going to 'scroll' in. the four buttons can be programmed, and there is a 'universal scroll' function in the button menu that can be set to the buttons. i use it mostly on a windows 98 with word 97 - legacy - works just fine for me - but anything up the windows scale i don't know about. apple, i am not acquainted with. if you are buying it 'bare bones,' then Logitech should still have the download in the trackball section. check for compatibility. to me, the best trackball ever, with a few minor exceptions. why Logitech discontinued it i have no idea. it was the pointing device of the year when it first came out in several magazines. « Show Less

Yes, the side buttons also function as "back" and "forward" buttons on the internet.

Method depends on your operating system, and involves a registry edit. Google 'reverse mouse wheel' for details. Here is a Windows 7 link... http://www.vvse.com/blog/blog/2012/02/27/reverse-scrolling-on-windows-7/

You can't they just act as forward and backward buttons in a browser. As this has no real drivers other than a generic windows driver there is little customization.

Yes the scroll wheel has a "bump" left or right function as indicated by the arrows to either side of the scroll wheel. This "button" action can be programmed to a number of functions, including "back" for one direction and "forwards" for the other.

I'm on a Mac, using ControllerMate. I've been able to reprogram all the buttons. This includes the ring finger button, which I use as a shifter to modify the other buttons, but can also work as a regular macro button. With ControllerMate, it is also possible to reprogram the scroll wheel of any mouse. I am also using the center top buttons (G7 and G8). I've programmed one to toggle videos from windowed to fullscreen, and I set the other one up as an Esc key.

Im not entirely sure on what your asking. It has a wheel that scrolls left and right, as well as a traditional scroll wheel. There is a middle button, however it only clicks down, not left and right.

Those buttons don't work on my Mac. Instead, I use the scroll wheel which works well

Opera browser had/has functionality for right click then left to navigate webpages forward and back. Something like that may be an option.

yes, there is a middle scroll button and in my mouse works satisfactorily. give it a try ....is worth the investment.

Yes you could make it scroll or you could make date and time scroll your option.

No. The functions of the left and right clicks can be customized but scrolling cannot. It's a serious limitation.

No, but it allows similar function by holding a button and move the whole mouse forward and backward.

Yes. But some buttons will doesn't work without drivers. But drivers for Mac osx is absent :(Use third-party software ;)

On a Mac its driverless (3M doesn't make drivers for Mac or Windows) The 3rd button - which is meant to change the upper left-click/right-click toggle into an up-scroll/down-scroll toggle does not work on Macs. Just as well. I find accidental presses of the 3rd button impossible to avoid.
