Can I use the buttons on a gaming mouse for visual studio shortcuts?
For example, I want to configure them for build, rebuild, copy, paste, etc.
To be specific I am about to buy a Logitech G600 mouse.
Can Visual Studio Shortcuts be configured on gaming mice?

Yes not only can it be done, but you can do it for other IDEs too. If you work on multiple IDEs, it can be a confusing sometimes when you switch back and forth between the two.
The G600 is great if you set up a generic button template that mirrors your workflorw. That way even if you switch between languages/IDE your workflow (i.e. button/command locations) remains unchanged.

It can be time-consuming to set up all the shortcuts, so if anyone reading this that is interested they can ping me for my profile(s) to take home and edit for use.
I thinkt that this is doable, If you can simulate keystrokes for the buttons. Check the software that Logitech supplied with your mouse to do this.
