With the hidden thumb button (HTB) on the Logitech M705 mouse I'm now able to activate the following...
- Mission Control (HTB)
- Application windows (cmd + HTB)
- Show Desktop (opt + HTB)
- Show Dashboard (ctrl + opt + cmd + HTB)
- Show Launchpad (opt + cmd + HTB)
...this makes me much less Trackpad dependent in Lion, and I don't have to move my hands from the keyboard or mouse to do what I normally would have to do with the Trackpad. =D
To make this work, you assign a shortcut key (let's use F12 as an example) to your mousebutton of choice in SteerMouse, and then under System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts you assign F12 to Mission Control, cmd + F12 to Applications windows, opt + F12 to Show Desktop, and so on.
Theoretically you could have as many as 16(!!) functions on the same mouse button by using various combinations of shift, ctrl, opt and cmd.
However, on my system, I've found that Mission Control is a bit buggy with shift and combinations of ctrl with certain MC functions. I believe this is a bug in Lion, as this behaviour is present with Logitech Control Center as well, but works fine/better in Snow Leopard and Exposé and related functions.
I hope this little tip inspires someone else to try something similar!
Cheers!

I've found that steermouse sometimes looses connection with the mouse buttons after coming back from sleep mode, but that isn't really a big issue. I just keep steermouse in the dock and click the Reconnect button, no problem.

And it was therefore impossible to uninstall!!!
Solution: log out and back in to a different user. Change the date to a year ahead. Log out and then log back in to the original user, and you get a message that the trial period expired. Mouse still doesn't work, but you can use keyboard to select UNINSTALL.
Relief after a restart.

According to SteerMouse there's 3 of them. :o)
Try selecting Mission Control for any button on your Logitech device or any other mouse and behold the s's.
I also wonder why there hasn't been a revamp of the UI of the SteerMouse application. I've disabled the "PreferencePane" in System Preferences in Lion and just call the application within the Utilities folder.
couldn't get autoclose to work. I simply uninstalled and reinstalled the previous version, reset my values, and everything is fine again.
I really didn't have any problems with the previous version. Sometimes, I guess it's best to leave well enough alone.

When the computer was put to sleep, iMac 20" (2009) 2.66
with the power button, quickly push
is that the computer did not wake from sleep, by moving the mouse, or touching a key on the keyboard
I do not see this in the problem fixed with the new version 4.0.1
So I'll skip this update until it is confirmed this issue is resolved

You may find yoursefl unable to use Logitech's driver once this is installed, even if you disable SteerMouse. To recover the use of Logitech Control Center (which I prefer with the Marble Mouse trackball), you must uninstall SteerMouse from its own Help Menu.
There are a couple things that annoy me about how buttons work Exposé, however. Maybe a workaround can be offered for these situations if the developer does not soon fix them:
I have my scroll wheel button set to Exposé all windows which it does, however only after I let up on the click. This makes using Exposé require two clicks to use rather than the one I used with a previous mouse: click once and hold while moving the mouse over the desired window and releasing to go to that window.
Also I have another button set to Exposé just my current application's windows, (in Steermouse it's set to replicate a Function key since I can't find another way to control Exposé thru Steermouse) but again, I can't hold down the mouse while I move it over the windows. If I do that, it just goes in and out, in and out of expose mode over and over.
