Additional PowerMic Options
Use this window to customize additional buttons on your PowerMic III.
Choose a behavior type
By default, all buttons are set to behave like a mouse or touchpad.
Assign to a command
To assign a button to perform one of the same commands available for the other PowerMic buttons, click the Mouse Action checkbox for that button to clear it (unselect it). This enables the Global and Dictation Box menus for that button, where you can select the command you want the button to perform for each of those uses. For detailed information, see Options dialog box—PowerMic tab.
Enable Mouse Action
When you select the Mouse Action checkbox for a button, it will behave as described below. Note that you can't change a button's mouse action, you can only enable or disable it. Also, you can't set different mouse actions for use in the Dictation Box.
Setting name | Button | Behavior |

![]()
|
Same as if you clicked the left button on a mouse. Both buttons are enabled or disabled with this checkbox. |
Mouse Right |

Same as if you clicked the right button on a mouse. Typically, this produces a context menu. |
Trigger (underneath) |
