How to customize Internet Explorer button on mouse
Recently, I lost my USB plug for my mouse, so I had to use my backup mouse, and it has a button in the middle of it, below the scroll wheel, that has the internet explorer logo on it. Back when I used this mouse on my Windows computer, the button ended up setting itself to typing this whenever it was pushed: "www.bit.ly/upcpromo2018[return]", and now using it on my Mac, it does the same thing. I would like to change that, but I can't figure out how. It's a wireless mouse, it doesn't have any side buttons, on the top it says Universal Orlando Studios Partner Comm (smudge), and on the bottom is a label saying
2.4GHz Wireless Optical Mouse
Model NO.: TUV2406
Rating : 1.5V === 6.8mA
Tested To Comply With FCC Standards
FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE

How to customize IE button on mouse
In short, you probably can't. Let me explain.
A quick Google search for "TUV2406" does supply with a user manual, but it is very limited. It does provide you with the specifications for the mouse and it does mention under the Compatible section "no need driver" [sic].
There are two more clues to this mystery.
- The "www.bit.ly/upcpromo2018" address leads to a Universal Parks & Resorts Partner Community.
- The Universal Orlando Partner Community logo you mentioned.
This leads me to believe that it was a special promo item. Since there is no software for this mouse the web address that the IE button directs to is probably hard-coded into the mouse firmware.
It would be easier to get another mouse than to try and reprogram the button.
