And that is fine. For me I like mine with more buttons:

* Left and right... for, well, left and right. :)
* Thumb next / previous for going through tabs or up and down messages
* Middle for show / hide... set to what I mean by that in different programs
  (and sometimes other features)
* Hide current program
* Show all windows
* Show all windows for current program

I do not use the last two that often, but I use the others very often. Might
even fiddle and change the last two.
