I was wondering if I could cutomize my Logitech Cordless mouse to have Expose as one of its buttons. I tried using Keystroke in the configuration menu, but when I hit F9, the configuration didn't work, my screen just goes to Expose. Thanks.

Yeah, open the system prefs and then Expose. It is very straight forward. With my MS IE mouse plugged in there is a second set of options in the Expose prefs for the mouse. I set mine to "mouse button 5"

The only way I could get it to work with my mouse was to turn off expose on the F9 key, assign F9 to the mouse button you want, then turn expose with F9 back on. A crude workaround, but it does the trick.

Thanks, this worked fine.
