Depending on what type of mouse you have, you may or may not have extra buttons out the wazoo. My new mouse has a few, and this is the first time I've decided to map them out and put them to use.
For example, my current laptop's Pause button requires me to push the Function key first, which makes pausing XenoBot a bit of a hassle. However, now I've mapped the Pause key to a button on my mouse, and I can pause XenoBot with ease.
Being a forum for gamers, I'm sure most of you have done something similar to this before. That's cool, but I just figured I'd throw the application I'm using out there, because it's a) Awesome and b) Free.

Works great, saves profiles for different users/applications, and lets you select from a pre-designated list, or simply simulate your own keypresses.
