I'm currently trying to use Teamspeak with a Logitech MX518 USB mouse.

The mouse button in question is the leftmost button in the foreground. Put another way, it's the little one with the left arrow next to the big one with the right arrow.
In every other program, I use that button for push-to-talk. In Teamspeak? The program doesn't recognize it. Buttons 0-3 work fine. "Button 4" works fine in other programs, including Ventrilo. Yet going to a key assign field in Teamspeak and clicking on button 4 gives me...nothing. I might as well be clicking on my cat, desk, or garage door remote.
This problem is occurring with the latest non-beta TS software. It happens with both the MS and *shudder* Logitech drivers. I'm stumped.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? Am I overlooking something simple? The only workaround I've found is to use the Logitech software to bind a key to that button, and then assign that key in TS. But installing crap software and changing my bindings in every other program isn't worth it for one chat client.
Thanks.
