Q: Can you change the colors on the mouse with a button, or do you have to download a program to customize the lights?

Q: Is this mouse good for Drag clicking?

A: It does not work for drag clicking that good. I have one and I can't get a good drag click because of the sensors in the mouse for left and right click. If you are trying to drag click good, get a mouse with a pressure based click receiver instead of an optical one.
