I have a Logitech M510 wireless mouse and am on a Mac. Right now I can assign different actions to the 2 thumb buttons through the Logitech control panel. What I want to do is have mouse button combos to perform actions.
So if I am holding thumb button 1 and click the left button, a tab will close in Chrome. As well as any other 'hold one button, click another' combination.
Is there a way to accomplish this type of customization?

Better Touch Tool does what you want.I've just downloaded it and am thoroughly enjoying it: http://www.boastr.net/
I believe it's also available on the Mac App store.
It supports:
- Magic Mouse
- Macbook Trackpad
- Magic Trackpad
- keyboard shortcuts
- normal mice
- Apple Remote
I had a similar issue with the Logitech M560 mouse on my MacBook Air. I LOVE this mouse! It has 5 buttons plus a tilt wheel, real rubber grips (not that spray-on stuff that gets gummy after a year), 1 year battery life and best of all... weighs a mere 92 grams with a Lithium cell!!! So awesome. But it's not Mac-Compatible at all and none of the third party USB drivers work with it. That's because some of the buttons don't send USB button click events at all (a pretty poor practice if you ask me) but rather send hard-coded keyboard shortcuts / touch events that are Windows-specific. USB Overdrive and SteerMouse only look for USB click events so they can't 'find' most of the buttons.
I found a solution though!
- Download Karabiner: https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/
- Install, Launch and give it permission in 'System Preferences > Security'
- In the app click 'Open private.xml' under the 'Misc & Uninstall' tab
- Create device-specific re-mappings to do whatever you want! (Documentation on editing the XML: https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/xml.html.en)

Since some of the M560 buttons send Windows-only keystrokes that a Mac can't understand, in some cases the only keystrokes your Mac will 'see' are a command or option keystroke! But it's safe to re-map those since the re-mapping is device-specific. They ONLY fire when sent from your mouse. So I was able to gain control over ALL of the M560 buttons!
My private.xml file for Karabiner is below and includes mappings for all the common 'Mission Control' shortcuts for the two thumb buttons. The only mapping I included for the middle button is Launchpad since that seems like the only obvious function for that button. But again, you can edit the file to your liking. The hard part was figuring out the right triggers and they're all in there. You just have to change what they map to (i.e. the last line of the autogen entry).
PLEASE NOTE: You'll probably have to change the productid to match the ID of your Logitech USB receiver too. Click on Karabinder's menubar icon and then 'Launch Event Viewer...' and the 'Devices' tab to find the ID for your device. And one final thought... I think the deviceid is actually the unified receiver (not the mouse) so if you're using a Logitech keyboard you may be out of luck since some of these mappings will mess up your command and option keys. For instance, only thing the forward thumb button sends that a Mac can understand is the right command key! But if you're only using the M560 mouse you're good to go!
Mouse Button For Dell Latitude E6410
Here's my private.xml file.
I was able to stop Expose from opening when I pressed my Microsoft Bluetooth Wireless Mouse 5000 Back button with System Preferences -> Mission Control -> Mouse Button 4 -> -.
You can try using USB Overdrive or SteerMouse for some mouse customization. I don't know if the Logitech utility alone is enough.
Combine it with Mac OS X Services (e.g. from Automator) that are assigned keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences, or utilities such as Butler or Keyboard Maestro.
