With so many options for what keys to map to your mouse buttons, I'm curious what uses you all have come up with. I'd imagine some of you have put together with some very useful combinations....

My forward button toggles the main map on and off, and the back button change the map size of both the mini-map and main map. I like being able to assess the map screens quickly and easily without having to reach across the keyboard to do so (especially useful while flying the chopper). A mouse wheel press brings out my trusty knife...

Got any cool mouse bindings you would like to share?

Also, I've been unable to map the scroll (up/down and left/right), or the minimize/maximize keys of my Logitech MX1000. Anyone have any luck with these or does the game just not suport it?

Nothing special here...
I have the sidebuttons of my copperhead assigned to sprint and pistol,middle mouse is main weapon/switching firemode.
When in a vehicle the side and middle mouse buttons are used for camera views(very handy in a tank for spotting enemies running round the tank).

Razer- Copperhead

LMB- Fire
RMB- Alt. Fire
Middle- Parachute
Top-Left Side Button- Sprint
Bottom-Left Side Button- 'On-the-fly' Sensitivity Changer

Also ever since I've played Tribes2, my keyboard movement keys are ESDF for every FPS, which provides more configurable keys at my disposal. :>

Sounds interesting, how did you set this up, and how does it work?

Its a standard feature with the Razer Copperhead. Basically you hold the button down, and use the scroll wheel to change the sensitivity.

http://sklep.akari.pl/sklep/thumb/logitech_mx510_o.gif

Left mouse button: fire
Right mouse button: zoom
Mousewheel (scrolling): change weapons
Mousewheel (press): spawn-menu (because I hate that 'I pressed enter but the menu disappears again'-bug)
Backward: weapon 3 (assault rifles)
Forward: weapon 2 (<- pistol junkie!)
Button above mousewheel: nothing (maybe M would be good)
Button below mousewheel: nothing (I think I should try binding it with 'change mapsize')
Button below the button below mousewheel: nothing (I always hit that button accidentally, so I unbinded it)
