C Colapietro Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I just got a Logitech MX-518 "Gaming Grade" mouse (a fairly standard 8-button layout with scroll wheel) and ran into a problem while setting up my DropTeam controls - the control assignment screen does not seem to recognize the two buttons on the left side of the mouse - ie when I choose a game function, then press the "Mouse" button to assign a mouse function, then press one of the side buttons, nothing registers. I can set any of the L/M/R main buttons, and it recognizes the scroll wheel rotation (Up as button 4 etc...), but no dice on the side buttons. These buttons seem to work fine in other games, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankibanki Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Do you have a programming software for your mouse? Then you can simulate keyboard keys with those mouse buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Colapietro Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 That's true, but I don't think I can program the mouse on a per-app basis, so I have no real desire to dedicate those two mouse buttons just to DropTeam as I use them in other games.

Toby Haynes Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm assuming that you are using this joystick under Windows? If you are a Linux user, you can run jstest /dev/js0 to see what the driver is relaying back to the system. I have come across joysticks where pairs of buttons act as 1-D hat switches - i.e. the pair of joysticks act like another joystick axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
