Does anyone know of a mouse that will work with the AutoCAD button menus, above the first 3? Logitech and Microsoft drivers do not seem to work.
I need the "\" function, which will not work with keystroke/accelerator keys.
(grread will not work if you are in the middle of a lisp command)
Or
Does anyone know of a mouse that will define a single button to send a "Shift + Right Click" to AutoCAD.

In the past I've had success with my intellimouse & microsoft driver. Basically the driver changes all the time, but this is the process:
1) load the intellimouse driver (I have the mouse with 5 buttons, one under thumb, one under pinky finger)
2) enable program-specific mouse functions
3) enable AutoCAD as one of those programs
4) in the program specific mouse functions for autocad, manipulate the settings so that the mouse key performs the operation you need.
this is a finicky process

Two solutions I know of...
If you have a Logitech mouse, download and install this program called uberinstall (Google it). It allows full blown access to all the features of the mouse (most of which Logitech, in their infinite wisdom, turned off.)
Buy a Belkin Nostromo Speedpad N52. Here's the link to it (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=157024). Their are a few threads on here already where we've discussed it. Just search for "speedpad".
