I'm using a Microsoft Trackball Optical (it's what's comfortable for me), and would like to map the side buttons to back and forward in Safari, but can't find that anywhere. The buttons function in other programs, so OSX recognizes them. Other posts suggested USB Overdrive or Steermouse, or using intellipoint from MS, but can't I do this without buying external software? I mean OSX is assigning functions to these keys somewhere, I can't change them? I would have expected that to be under System Preferences-Keyboard & Mouse, but it's not there.
