    Is it me or is the back/forward buttons have to be pushed harder to work. My mouse before this was an MX1000 and the back button worked with the softest click. I also have the setpoint installed. Does it have anything to do with the software. Should i return it for a different unit..?

    The revolution on the other hand has to be pushed harder it seems like.

    I am loving the clickless scroll so much...i dont want to return it!!

    The back button was not hard for me, when I used it. I would suggest you go to the stores and test the button on the display units around. If they are relatively easy to press, then ask for a replacement.

    Sorry, i didnt mean "hard to press" as in the button itself is defective. I meant the button only work sometimes but not all the time. It seemed like i have to give a firm press and hold before the webpage goes back.

    The button presses fine, its just not responsive at all.

    My MX1000 has some buttons that you have to give a firm press to make work (specifically middle click and the "application switch" one that i made "application kill", much more useful)
