    It is a known limitation that Logitech Setpoint will now allow you to use the Window Key as a shortcut, meaning you would never be able to assign for example the "Windows Key + Tab" shortcut to execute Flip3D FTW.

    I have found a workaround this and now have my search button (7th mouse button) set to Flip3D, then the mouse scroll would actually flip betweeen the different running apps. Really cool.


    Here's how to do it:

    1) Install the latest version of Logitech Setpoint (4.72)
    2) Install Uber Options v4.60.8
    3) Assign the desired button to Flip 3D which will now appear by default as one of the available options. :)


    Note: Uber options not only adds flip 3d to the list of tasks you can do with your mouse buttons, but it also adds many useful tasks to play around with. Check it out

    I like this contribution. I don't like the direct-to-exe link, however.

    hope this works for the keyboards, too.. :)

    Yes it should, there is a keyboards option during installation which is already checked by default :)
