Logitech Setpoint is a huge – the setup file is over 50 Megabytes – software package that can configure Logitech Mice and keyboards. If you happen to use the Logitech SetPoint software you might have noticed that you cannot enable all options on all buttons and that some buttons cannot be configured at all.

While it is logical that the left-click or right-click button function should not be changed it is less logical why the other buttons cannot be configured freely. The program Uberoptions enables all options on all buttons in Setpoint, even the left and right mouse button can be changed if the option is selected during installation. Be warned that you could make changes that would leave your system without a left-click and right-click option.

Uberoptions overwrites some files of Logitech Setpoint to offer those additional configuration options which become active after the next start of the Logitech Setpoint software.

The options for every mouse button is highly configurable after installing Uberoptions. It’s possible to open files, applications, websites, Windows commands, menus and probably another 100 or so options. The application is compatible to Autohotkeys which leaves room for more complex operations.

• Configure function for double right-click (2)

You can configure the left mouse button double-click but not the right mouse button one. Click Zap is a small application that lets the user configure a function for a double-click on the right mouse button.

Eight functions are offered in total, it is possible to set the double right-click to lock, shutdown or log off the computer, to minimize the active window or all windows, to close the active window or all windows and to mute the sound.

The major problem that I have with this application is that a (double) right-click always opens the right-click menu as well. I tried configuring the double right-click to minimize all windows and the reaction time was not great. First the right-click window opened, then nothing happened for some time and after a few seconds all windows where minimized.

It’s probably better to configure the additional mouse buttons if your mouse has any instead of trying to add a function to the double right-click. My Logitech mouse is already a bit older but it has so many buttons that I sometimes press one accidentally.
