It's free too! Get it here: http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm Note that this doesn't work (yet) with Magic Mouse, but will recognise Apple's (former) Mighty Mouse and allow full use of that - as well as any other mouse of course.

I already use this to re-map SL keystrokes to my multi-button mouse and it's totally indispensable, can't function without it. I'm trying to find something that does the same thing on Windows and coming up blank, altho' it must exist somewhere... Apple will already have Windows drivers in development for the Magic Mouse because they'll need to make it compatible with Mac's switching into 'doze in Bootcamp - so they should appear before long.
