Logitech SetPoint software button remapping

autohotkeybutton-remappinglogitech-mousemouse

My Logitech G5 Laser mouse has 9 buttons but it's SetPoint software only allows 5 of them to be used as "mouse buttons" and the remaining 4 can only be assigned special windows functions (Forward, Back, Cruise Up, etc) or Keystroke Assignments. Many of the games I play will take up to 10 "MOUSE BUTTON" inputs for in-game actions but wont recognize the remaining 4 buttons even when assigned keystroke assignments. Is there a way to make these last 4 buttons "Generic Buttons" as well as buttons 3,4,and 5? (1 is left click and 2 is right click).

My other question is if the above is not possible, maybe I can use AutoHotkey to remap keystrokes as assigned by my SetPoint software to mouse button commands? If so how?

Try UberOptions, it unlocks the additional keys in setpoint, at which point you can then use autohotkey to create whatever you may want. (For example, tilting the mousewheel right now fires F14, a key I don't have, which AutoHotKey uses for many things, depending on focused application)

You can even remap left and right click to sensitivity changing, and middle click to shut down, if you really wanted!

Windows – Generic way to remap every media button

This is a generic way to remap any keyboard buttons. Even weird ones

Use KeyCodes (portable,415 KB) to catch the key code. Download, extract and start KeyCodes3.exe. Press your mysterious button and you'll see the key code as decimal number

An alternative way was this AHK script which uses a keyboard hook and "KeyHistory"
```
#Persistent
#InstallMouseHook
#InstallKeybdHook
while !(getKeyState("F1", "T"))
      KeyHistory
return
esc::exitapp
```
Convert the number from decimal to hexadecimal: 171 » AB
Use the portable version of AutoHotKey to remap the button.
Download and extract the .zip version of your choice somewhere. No installation needed.
Create a new text file and paste
```
#NoEnv, #Persistent, #SingleInstance
vkB5::return                ;music node button  181 » B5   do nothing
vkAC::return                ;home button        172 » AC   do nothing
vkAA::return                ;search button      170 » AA   do nothing
vkAB::Run, c:\myapp.exe     ;star button        171 » AB   execute tool
vkB4::Send {Volume_Mute}    ;mail button        180 » B4   mute/unmute
```
- vk stands for virtual key code followed by your hexadezimal key code you want to remap
- :: is the remap operator. Left is the trigger, right of it is your new button or action
- Send {<my_new_key>} could be any key from this list.
  Alternatively you could execute a custom path with the Run command.
  Or if you want to to execute a media button again, use {vkAB} as action
Create a new shortcut in your autostart folder to start your AHK script on each boot. For example
```
"D:\Tools\AutoHotKey\AutoHotkey.exe" "D:\Tools\AutoHotKey\RemapKeys.ahk"
```

After a reboot or manual AHK script start, all buttons are remapped

Windows 10 middle mouse button: reassign

I would follow this flow map to begin with, and if it does not work let me know, in as much detail is available and we can go from there.

Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional Mouse Options (under related settings) > In Device Settings you should see your peripherals software click on it and then click settings > From here you should see a BUTTONS tab which you can expand and then edit the functions of each one of the interactive parts of your device.

Hope it works, if not we can figure something else out!
