So ive been using my SteelSeries WoW cataclysm mouse for a while now, its a great mouse has 11 extra buttons, which i have set as 0-9 and F1. This is not registering any hits when programming the options for primary or secondary controls. I've tried to re install the horrible client that Steel series gives you, 3 times in fact and also used the default config with no success. The problem has followed me from one crappy pc to a generally good pc.

I have had non repeatable success in a limited fashion by killing the process for the SteelSeries WoW cataclysm mouse client, with about 6 of the 11 button working. however later this effect was not repeatable. also 2 of the 6 buttons where firing off the same key...lol.

The buttons that DO work are L-Click, R-Click, Wheel Button Push.

This mouse works with WOW obviously, GW2, WoT, and any other application i use. I commonly use it to type numbers in web browsers and such.

I searched for a while looking for a similar thread but all i found were people saying to use/buy this mouse, and a guy that posted in the wrong spot and never deleted the thread. Any advice would be well accepted at this point.

I suggest checking in the Controls forum (unless you have already done so), the players who do know anything about perihperals are going to be there. Really sounds to me like that controller requires it's drivers/client to act as the middleman.

This may or may not help, but I use the Razer Naga. . and I have 0 issues getting my buttons to work properly. I simply go into options in the MwO client, double click to enter "program" mode and select each naga button. If I didn't have my naga set to use Number pad, I wouldn't even have to do THIS, as they're default bound to the 1 through 0 top side of the keyboard.

Even if you can't directly keybind through the client one would THINK the programmable software would allow you to bind to the numeric keys as a bypass. . and if you can't. . well. . I would 2nd guess buying that company's products.
