Try Steermouse...that's what I use w/ my MX1000...but it does cost $20 after the trial period...worth it to me, maybe not to you...

it is nearly impossible to know which button is number 6 or any other ones such as the thumb scroll

hopefully there are other programs which you guys can suggest

Another option is USB Overdrive.

i think the easiest thing would be if someone with the mx revolution could print screen their selections and just post it

that would be just great
