How to program mouse buttons to do different thing in CF?

Hi, I installed bluetooth mouse to my carpc. Now I'm trying to figure out how can I program mouse buttons. When using Centrafuse, it would be cool if left mouse button would skip to next song, right mouse button would go previous song, middle button would toggle shuffle button, and so on.. I really wouldn't need it pointing anything, because I was wondering to attach it to steering wheel. (mini mouse)
So, what software do I need to get, so that I can get this work? Any ideas?

Often the makers of mice have software that can configure the mouse buttons to do different things. Something like this would probably be needed so either have a good hunt for a tool that can translate a mouse click into a key command and use hotkeys in CF or get a mouse from a manufacturer that allows you to customize it in their software/driver.

This mouse is a mini mouse without any software, just bluetooth dongle and mouse. I tried to search software which can configure mouse buttons, and I found "x-mouse button control". I haven't tried it yet, but there's possibility to program buttons to do certain commands.

Edit: Tested it with winamp, and "x-mouse button control" really makes it work. I'm going to try it later with Centrafuse, but for me it seems to be right software!!

Edit: Tried it with Centrafuse, and it works. I just didn't understand that I can't use left mouse button, bacause that's same thing as touching the screen. So if one touch in screen makes song skip to next, that's not working for me. But I can use right button, and middle button, and scroll works

If you are using this with in CF, just go to hotkeys in setting and assign the mouse buttons that. You dont need the manufatuers software. I use hand held mice, and it has 3 extra buttons on the side which I used CF to program to turn the vloume up, down and to activate voice commands. Only thing is Cf has to be on for the hot keys to work.

If you ment that mouse buttons can be added as hotkeys, I can't do that without x-mouse...?!...

I dont think you can do it with the main buttons... only the extra buttons.
