    hi guys...topics says it all. i use 3ds max 8 and cant figure out how to use the middle mouse button (needed for fast moving e.t.c) without a plugin mouse.

    oh i got my 6214w a few days ago, hevily impressed! :)

    yeh the only thing i miss from a my fujitsu is the scroll thing on the touchpad. Im still not used to the touchpad on the zepto yet. It needs to be wider and not flush to the main case to make it more practical.

    I will be ordering my logitech g5 though soon

    I ended up reassigning the left click as the middle mouse button, and the just using a tap on the touchpad as a click.

    just to let you know, you can configure a tap in one of the corners as a middle mouse click, works a treat for me in 3dsmax.
