Razer Pro Click Mobile center mouse button assignment?

i just picked up a Razer Pro Click bluetooth mouse today at the local apple store and am trying to assign the wheel button to HIDE OTHERS (the Finder command) which i use all the time on my current wired mouse.

the MacWorld review of this mouse seems to touch upon the fact that you CAN assign functions to this button but i have had no luck.

the mouse does not have driver software of its own, so it's something that has to be done within OSX/system prefs.

by default when i click the mouse wheel it opens Dashboard...

i need to change this to be option-command-h (hide others)

thanks for any advice.

dual 1ghz MDD G4, Mac OS X (10.2.x)

If you select "Other" you can choose a script to do almost any action you like. There might even be a canned one.
Dashboard is the default for the middle button.

In System Preferences under Keyboard & Mouse, under Mouse, does anything show up?

the typical things like tracking and scrolling speed..

plus "zoom using scroll wheel by holding..."

and "primary mouse button" (l/r)

and OPTIONS which deal with the "zoom" command

that's all..

What's interesting is that your middle button is acting like the one on my mouse and is the default.
That means that even though you can't see the options in the preferences, they exist somewhere.
If you got a regular mouse and plugged it in, i bet you could change the middle button and it would "stick" even after you removed the regular mouse.
If you have a second USB mouse you could try it.
