Raza Naga. Sorry, 21 buttons:

12 key numpad on the side - 12

left and right regular buttons - 12 + 2 = 14

middle click - 14 + 1 = 15

scroll up and scroll down - 15 + 2 = 17

scroll wheel can be pushed left and right - 17 + 2 = 19

two addition buttons below the scroll wheel - 19 + 2 = 21

Every button I've listed is programmable. I made the left mouse button do something else by mistake once. That was awkward.

Also, the software it comes with allows you to program in 8 keymaps over many profiles, and it can change the profile based on what program has focus. I typically just use 2 keymaps in one profile across the few programs I have to use at work.

Just having enter, delete, backspace, tab keys, whatever on the mouse is amazing, but I also have macros programmed in for various tasks in the CAD program. I use AutoHotKey for most of the automated tasks in the proprietary software for the laser cutter.
