    Huh? Do you mean the buttons?

    If so, the middle button (i.e. the blue-lined) one is for scrolling, etc.

    Probably because you don't have it configured to do anything. If you're using Linux, it should work out-of-the-box as a "middle button" for paste, etc., or you can configure it to do uni- or bi-axis scrolling pretty easily. I have no idea what the behavior under Windows is. IIRC you need to install a driver of some sort.
