Logitech SetPoint software is the right choice for you if you need to assign a variety of functions to your mouse or keyboard. This can be good for intense gaming, running simulation software, or advanced work in spreadsheets and databases.
Microsoft Windows has built-in support that allows control for mice that have up to more then five-buttons. However, if your mouse has more than five buttons, the SetPoint software is the solution you will need to support as a mouse configuration of more then five mouse buttons.
SetPoint software is excellent at allowing you to utilize a tilt wheel mouse to scroll from left to right in applications such as Microsoft excel. *If you want to assign other functions to your mouse buttons, then you can use SetPoint to change their functionality.
You can control tracking speeds and configure other device settings through this software. It also can be set to notify of battery status and if Caps Lock and Num Lock are active.
Setpoint is also great if you like to set your function keys on your keyboard with common windows 8 shorts, which can make a great difference in your reaction time when gamming or be a helpful tool when working on in large databases or spreadsheets.

- Allows you to fully control mice that have more than 5 buttons
- Enables Windows version such as windows8 to properly control title wheel mouse for scrolling
- Allows for easy setting of windows 8 short cuts on your keyboard function keys

If you have a mouse that is a Logitech G-Series gaming, then you should utilize the Logitech Gaming Software instead of SetPoint software.
Also, note that SetPoint was designed with Windows 8 in mind. Below are some good examples of how this software will interact with your devices in windows 8.
- If you assign the Windows Start screen to a mouse or keyboard button, pressing the button will take you to the Start screen. A second press of the same assigned key will take you back to your previous location.
- In Windows 8, if you assign a short cut for the "show desktop" option and press the assigned key with that short cut, it will minimize open application windows in Windows 7 and take you to your desktop view.
- You can assign a short cut key to allow you to cycle you through your open applications one at a time with pressing the assigned key.
