G-series Gaming Mice

[Majid0202]

I have problems to bind my macros in Battlefield 3 on my G700. Does anyone has the same problem? Can it be solved.

It's a common problem in BF 3. have a look at the BF 3 forums @battlelog.

This can be bypassed by setting in setpoint the side buttons from Generic to either macro or keystroke assignment and set it to a key you don't normally use eg. " : " and then go in-game and bind " : " to the desired function.

This is what I have to do for many games.

That's correct. Some games don't support mice with as many buttons as the G700 has, so using JXF's keystroke trick is the way SetPoint was intended to be used

Just to be a little more clear - Windows does not understand mouse buttons higher than 5.  According to the operating system, they do not exist at all.  Mouse buttons 6 or higher are only seen by software or drivers that are specifically written to look for them.  The only game I know of that supports Mouse 6 or higher is WoW, and they only support it with their licensed devices using a special driver that they run when the user enables support manually inside the game.  This is why the only way to program these buttons to perform in-game actions is to use SetPoint.

Thank you very much for this reply!

No, I'm not being sarcastic. I have been wondering why I couldn't bind the G-buttons in some games and was starting to get frustrated with what I tought was yet another hardware problem.

I knew very well to bind the extra buttons to the keyboard, but it would have been such a straight solution just to use the mouse directly
