That's because most users on this forum are encountering multiple bugs and performance issues, which is typical for Adobe products. So, firstly, they want those troubles to be fixed, which is unlikely to happen, knowing Adobe.

@Warren Heaton10841144 There is no need for special drivers. Any regular third-party mouse can function as a generic mouse input device. It operates at the OS level. If the scroll wheel and middle click work in the OS, they can also function in applications running on that OS. App developers just need to incorporate them; for instance, in this case, they need to utilize it as a hand tool (panning tool).

It should work as follows:

Scroll wheel down/up → Zoom In/Out

Scroll wheel click + drag → Panning (hand tool)

yeah, the xmousebutton macro doesn't work like mentioned above. i tried many permutations, including step 1/2, but can't get it to work either.
it would be so much easier for the adobe team to pretty please implement this finally.

Something like "Adobe Mouse" could be interesting, but input device drivers and corresponding software is probably best left to the device manufacturer.

I have just found out that the middle click was implemented in 1996 by Microsoft (Intellimouse), and since then, it has been widely adopted by all computer mouse manufacturers:

But for some reason, Adobe has not taken full advantage of having a scroll wheel with a middle click, even after 27 years. Adobe's developers seem to be very lazy.

Are there any other settings to consider on this? It doesn't work for me. I have it set to send the simulated key stroke option 1. Should it be set to 9 or something? What am I missing?

As an engineer & designer, every other app I use in my workflow uses middle-mouse-drag gesture for direct 1:1 view panning (or the 3D-equivalent). Acrobat Pro already has several options to customize mouse behavior related to the Hand tool, so why not let us choose between Acrobat's default "cruise-control pan" behavior and the industry-standard of "1:1 pan"?

Both features are already present, we just want to choose what method our middle-mouse button does.

(I did try to "hack" this action into Logitech's Options+ app for my Triathalon 720 mouse, but I wasn't able to combine a mouse click with the [space] key sadly.)

SteerMouse worked for me. It was a tough search for this solution haha

Here's a good tutorial for it as well hope this helps!
