button mapping

[THMTRXMN]

is there a way to map buttons like those on a game controller/tablet/very many buttoned mouse that don't show up in the mouse and keyboard preference pane to mouse functions like left and right clicking and stuff and if not through os x directly then through a program?

Check with the mouse maker. I mapped my Logitech mouse using their own software.

USB Overdrive will let you assign functions to any any button on any USB peripheral.

I can't use USB Over Drive it messes up the function of the tablet because it thinks its a mouse and the curser just gets stuck in the corner.

What is the mouse maker? This sounds interesting

Dude I just read that windows comment in your signature that is hilarious

The "mouse maker" would be the company your mouse is from. I.e. Logitech or Microsoft or...

like, for example, the maker of my mouse is microsft. the software they use is next to useless. i've heard logitch makes a good all round solution. wacom make tablets.
