Media Mouse by Sidekick Utilities

Turn Your Screen Edges Into Instant Media Controls.

Tired of fumbling for your keyboard's volume keys or alt-tabbing out of a game just to pause a song? Media Mouse is a small, powerful utility that transforms the edges of your screen into intuitive, system-wide media controls.

Control your PC's audio and media playback without ever taking your hand off the mouse or your eyes off the action. It's the seamless Windows feature you never knew you needed.

How It Works

It's incredibly simple and designed to feel completely natural:

1. Move your mouse to one of the active "hot zones" at the top, bottom, left, or right edge of your screen.
2. Scroll your mouse wheel up or down to change the system's master volume.
3. Middle-click in any hot zone to instantly play or pause your media.
   

That's it! No clicks, no extra windows, no hassle.
