Are they useful outside of gaming ?

They have come in handy while using design software

can you give some examples where it would come handy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah sure.

Whenever I'm working on a big photoshop file and I find myself using a tool very often, I bind the side buttons to that tool. At minimum I always keep the redo, undo buttons binded to the mouse.

Whenever I'm browsing the web I have forwards and backwards binded so I don't have to move my mouse across the screen to go back a page.

It's all trivial stuff but it makes my workflow slightly more fluid. I initially bought the mouse for gaming, but it has been super useful for me outside of gaming
