You can push both at the same time to simulate a middle-button if the X

It wasn't really that which was interesting to me. What this means is that I can use a symbol of possibly in future an image as the name of the record label I want to start. A bit like when Prince changed his name to a symbol. It kind of ligitamises symbols and also means I don't have to spend hours trying to think up an origional name....
