Hi,
I am a programmer and I am playing with the windows rawinput API.
I was expecting to see all buttons events from my mouse, but I can't see events for the following mouse buttons:
G5: wheel right, wheel left
G500: wheel right, wheel left, center.
I noticed that, using the windows hid mouse driver, I get events for these buttons (at least the wheel right and left).
A work-around with the G500 is to bind these buttons to keyboard keys. But this does not work with the G5 as the events are emulated and thus not visible as rawinput events.
Is this an issue with the Logitech driver? In case it is, I wonder why this didn't get fixed? Is no game using rawinput?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
