Assign it a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences.

Create a ‘search selection’ service in Automator.

But by combining an Automator service with the Keyboard shortcut action in Logi Options, I’ve got a working solution! Here’s the solution: I searched high and low on the internet, but no one had come up with a solution, and Logitech are unaccountably dragging their feet on this issue. I used that button dozens of times a day.īut in the Logitech Options software, there is no longer an option for this, and you get the anaemic ‘Lookup’ command or, worse, an option to do a spotlight search. Select some text, press the ‘One-touch search’ button, and you would get a search for the selected text in your favourite browser and search engine. My solution will also work with the MX Master 2s and MX Master 3 mice – as well as other multi-button Logitech mice like the MX Anywhere 2. Replacing it with the Logitech MX Master mouse, I found that it didn’t have one of my favourite features – ‘one touch search’. This same technique may be effective with non-gaming mice as well, but I have not tried it (Logitech has different configuration applications for gaming and non-gaming mice).UPDATE: there is now a one touch search solution for Windows PC users, written by fellow MX Revolution fan, virtual.Īfter nearly 12 years using the amazing Logitech MX Revolution mouse, it finally began to die. Now, when you hook it up to your Mac, all buttons should now be visible to Steermouse and USB Overdrive, as well as the Expose and Spaces Preference panes, allowing you to assign them in any way you please. After the software is installed, simply open the gaming mouse application and set the preset for each of the buttons to the 'generic button' setting. The solution is to hook up the mouse to a Windows system (or use Boot Camp) and install the Logitech Setpoint software for Windows. For instance, on the Wireless Gaming Mouse G700, four of the buttons are tied up with on-the-fly DPI switching, profile switching, and battery status and cannot be changed on the Mac side. Worse, applications like USB Overdrive and SteerMouse are unable to detect many of the buttons on said mice, severely limiting their utility.

Logitech sells several button-laden gaming mice, but does not provide any software support for them on the Mac.
