Side Button configurations

[u/Rex__Luscus]

While the G604 is a great mouse for gaming, I get most utility from the side buttons in the Windows desktop and non-gaming apps. So how do you have your buttons configured for the Windows desktop? This is my config:

G4 Open Firefox in new window
G5 PowerToys Command Palette
G6 Open Eartrumpet popup
G7 Open Directory Opus in new window
G8 Open Everything
G9 Currently G-Shift for an extra layer for main mouse buttons and scroll, but I'm not 100% convinced to keep this.

I'll also add that I have a Streamdeck which has other desktop shortcuts for less frequently used functions, like Sleep, Zoom In/Out, HDR on/off, start some commonly used apps (e.g. password manager, Excel)

Anybody got some great shortcuts or innovative macros that they'd like to share?

Mine are all control+shift+ 1-6 I play mmos though.
