Hi mike, I was wondering what brand/model mouse you purchased? I was looking at walmarts web page and have a ton of mice. But I saw something else that caught my eye and you may be interested. They have a 19 key programmable numerical keypad. USB but I believe I saw a wireless one for a couple bucks more. I've been programming my F keys using hot keys on my keyboard. This would allow the keyboard to be placed out of the way. Something to think about. 73 Marty W8AKS
