Because this Trial-Atlas needs more than two weapon groups to prevent overheating i tried to map weapons group 3+4 to my mousebuttons 4-6 but it doesn't work. The game only accept inputs from mouse 1 to 3, while 3 is the zoom option (would like to use mouse wheel for this but that also do not work).

Is it too difficult to support ALL mousebuttons avaliable from a peripheral device? Joystick the coolie-hat doesn't work, with mouse MWO supports only 3 buttons (what about 18 or 20 like e.g. Naga or G600?) etc., this handling is real crap actually and needs a lot more work (and FAST work too)!

Hmmm what mouse is it? I've not had trouble with my Razer Naga so far, but tbh you can get the naga to work with the game even if the game doesn't support it. I've not had any issues trying to assign the buttons ingame with my naga.

Id certainly be interested to see if anyone else is having this issue.

Have a Logitech M705 with 8 buttons, and can only use 3 of them, even with manual setup via setpoint. I thought i could override the MWO-config by using a game profile but it doesn't work ether

Playing a Mech with more than two weapon groups is just really annoying actually.

Just go into Logitech's Setpoint app and assign keystrokes to the buttons.

As i mentioned above i did this already but it doesn't work. I assigned it to profile for MWOClient.exe (i never will change my standard windows-config so i used the profile-manager), nothing happens, only button 1-3 work, 4-8 not :-(

Do not remember but does that mouse have onboard memory to store configuration? On the configuration, set the other buttons to generic Button.

Close down Setpoint and test. This is what I have to do for the game to register all the keys for M500 Logitech.

[SmithMPBT]

A mouse with more than 3 buttons??? Sounds like something from New York City. Get a rope!

No, the M705 is a wireless mouse with long life battery (the only one capable for gaming AND with less energy consumption) but no onboard memory (my G19 has^^). Tried to bind the keys (3,4,5) to MWOClient.exe in profile without positive result. Using profile manager for G19 works, i can easily map any macros to the special keys, but mousebuttons with SetPoint doesn't work.

Yep, I cannot get Setpoint automatic profile manager to work either. What is happening is the profile with the keystroke assignments is never in place.

Don't use automatic profile switching, just select the profile you want in setpoint and/or assign a button on the mouse to switch between various profiles.

The problem is in Setpoint, not MWO. Mouse buttons 4+ are always kind of wonky. There is no real standard, and those buttons can act different from various brands of mice, so software support is spotty.

You must resolve the problems with Setpoint, if you want it to work.

[IceSerpent]

Sounds like a problem with that particular mouse only- I use Naga and can assign all buttons just fine.

[SirriusLee]

I have a logitech G500.All 5 buttons work fine.It must be the mouse.

[ICEFANG13]

I had this happen, I switched the control groups and modified what click does what so the end result was the same, haven't had it again though.

[Luke0616]

Your not alone.. logitech rnb90 here.. same prob. they are right that closing setpoint "fixes" it. Unfortunately the windows max mouse speed is way slow for MWO! It only has an extra 2 buttons (3 if wheel counts) and they all don't work in client or game. I don't think it is the profile manager because I changed the main button settings to keystrokes and still wont work. Everything else on my computer recognizes the buttons as buttons, scrolls or keystrokes depending how it is set. But MWO itself no likey-likey and turning is more vital than firing so I am stuck to two buttons.

[Luke0616]

For what it's worth, I managed to tweak down all of my graphics settings (on the desktop, not in game for some reason) so that the windows mouse speed was usable inside MWO, now setpoint is disabled and I can still track targets/use buttons.

[Nighpher]

I set my extra mouse buttons to keyboard keys, like, mousebutton 4 is numlock and mouse button 5 is "[" so the game accepts it as a keystrokecommand, then configure your weapon groups to the keyboard keys.

[Zero Division]

This happens to me too. Last patch was fine, but now it's back. Killing Setpoint "fixed" the issue for me as well... but that's just a workaround.

[Calen]

I've had the same problem since I began playing in early June. I've had two different mice, one from the Logitech MX3200 set and now with the M705. I haven't tried killing Setpoint since like others have said, the default Windows cursor speed is way too slow. Hopefully the devs can look into this and get MWO and Setpoint working together.

[Karen Yu]

Same problem here with an ASUS ROG GX850.

[Dahmer]

Another Logitech 570 here, same issue. Using setpoint either with special mappings or having the extra two buttons keypress the keyboard mappings I have for functions. Neither works.

As a comparison, Planetside2 didn't require any funny config, it saw both extra buttons immediately.

[Max Immelmann]

you have to go in to the actionmaps file and edit it to add mouse buttons.
