G5 & G7 side buttons not working in WoW

I have a G5 and a G7 that have the same problem: the side buttons are not working when I play WoW (World of Warcraft) but works just fine when used in other applications.  I tried all kind of things and looked up forums for answers without any luck.  Here's what I did:

 

1) In SetPoint 4.7 I create a profile for WoW

2) I change the setting of the side buttons (4, 5), the tilt buttons (6, 7), and the DPI buttons (8, 9), to Keystroke Assignment and assign a key to them (6, 7, 8, 9, 0, -)

3) I save the settings

4) Go to WoW and bring up the key assignment window

5) I make sure the key assigned to the buttons (6, 7, 8, 9, 0, -) are not in used

6) I tried to bind my buttons

5) Buttons 4 and 5 are not responding at all.  Buttons 6, 7, 8, 9 can be binded just fine

 

Please help... this is driving me nuts :smileysad:

Hi:smileyhappy:,

 

Have you tried assigning them to the 'Generic Button' function and binding them ingame? That works for some games.
