SteerMouse is a third-party driver for USB and Bluetooth mice. It allows you to customize what your mouse does and optimize it in a variety of ways. My first experience with SteerMouse was when I wanted to get the wireless Apple Mighty Mouse to work like a regular mouse. That is the worst Apple product ever made. SteerMouse allowed me to increase the speed of the pointer and its responsiveness so that the Mighty Mouse could at least be usable. It didn't make it a good mouse, but it accomplished much more than Apple's engineers on that regard.
SteerMouse can be used for a variety of things. You can use it to change speed and sensitivity settings, or you can use it to change what the buttons of your mouse do. From the buttons tab, you can assign actions to each button on your mouse. You can even add key combinations to a specific button. I remember I used this to assign expose to a middle-button on a non-Apple mouse, and it worked well.
SteerMouse allows you to keep profiles for your devices, which you can select from a drop down menu. SteerMouse isn't free, though, but you get a good, lengthy trial to see if it works for you.
