Does anybody actually use the side button on the 15? (alien.top)

I’ve had the Pro max for about a month now and have used the button maybe once. Could be that I need to change it from the flashlight which is what I have currently but it’s honestly been a nuisance more than anything. It’s minor but whenever I’m trying to adjust the audio in my headphones by just hitting the volume button from outside my pocket I just end up clicking the side button instead of volume up. If you guys use it, what do you have it set as?

I have set up as a shortcut where it opens a menu and displays a few options (toggle silent, toggle rotation, toggle flashlight, ask ChatGPT, turn on room lights)

It essentially acts like a second control centre but fully customizable to anything you like
