Mouse button 4

Jaidynne · #1 30-11-2006, 07:51

So.... I wanted to set my push to talk button as my Mouse Button 4. However, to my dismay, teamspeak won't let me for some reason. Yet, it has no problems with the 4 of my other mouse buttons, just the side button on the right. Anyone know why? Can I fix this? I really want to use it.

If you installed the lastest driver of your mouse and it still not work, I think the mouse is not compatible with TeamSpeak 2.

But you can post which mouse you have, so other people with the same one can post their experiences.

I'm having the same problem. I have a Logitech MX 510 mouse with latest drivers and I'm trying to map one of my side buttons (the one that activates page forward in IE) for push to talk, but it doesn't recognize it

ive the same problem with my logitech mx518 with the second side button which is mouse button 5

i ask you to implement these buttons

i played around and thats what i found out:

if you use window procedures to catch the mouse-events:
the message parameter is WM_XBUTTONDOWN with
LOWORD(wParam)=32 for the 4th mouse button and
LOWORD(wParam)=64 for the 5th mouse button

if you use direct input (which i suppose you to do)
here are some constants
DIMOFS_BUTTON0 = 12
DIMOFS_BUTTON1 = 13
DIMOFS_BUTTON2 = 14
DIMOFS_BUTTON3 = 15
DIMOFS_BUTTON4 = 16
DIMOFS_BUTTON5 = 17
DIMOFS_BUTTON6 = 18
DIMOFS_BUTTON7 = 19
DIMOUSE_BUTTON0 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON0 /* Button 0 */
DIMOUSE_BUTTON1 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON1 /* Button 1 */
DIMOUSE_BUTTON2 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON2 /* Button 2 */
DIMOUSE_BUTTON3 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON3 /* Button 3 */
DIMOUSE_BUTTON4 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON4 /* Button 4 */
DIMOUSE_BUTTON5 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON5 /* Button 5 */
DIMOUSE_BUTTON6 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON6 /* Button 6 */
DIMOUSE_BUTTON7 = 0x82000400 | DIMOFS_BUTTON7 /* Button 7 */
i found constants on google so i dont know if they are 100% correct, but you may compare them with yours

please forward this to the developers!
thanks

The problem is not teamspeak it is Logitech SetPoint

to fix this go into your setpoint manager and for the Button 4, set it to be generic. then it can be used by any program. it is probably set to Back and will only do that function.

My mouse is a Logitech Mx518, and I could run a different VoIP Program fine with the mouse buttons. I don't think that most Logitech gaming mouses may not be compatible, so Thomas is probably right. (No, it doesn't work on TeamSpeak for me, that's why I use Voice Activation.)

EDIT: I don't think that Logitech mouses have drivers. All they have is SetPoint (Updates BlueTooth technology) and MouseWare, which does something editing or something. Haha.

Well, good luck with this problem.

That is NOT it as I use a microsoft intellimouse explorer (Version 1, not a newer version) and it's not recognizing one of my side mouse buttons (the "forward" key) whereas other apps do (EQ2, Quake 3, Halo, etc).

So this is not a logitech mouse manager problem, or a mouse misconfiguration issue if EVERYTHING ELSE works fine (including Ventrilo incidentally). So this is definitely a teamspeak problem they've had for a long time.

Did You tried that solution or just blaming here?

Ya that solution, maybe you didn't read the section where I said I'm NOT USING A LOGITECH MOUSE??? Thus I'm NOT USING A MOUSE MANAGER! And since ONE of the side buttons is working (the lower-numbered one according to other apps, ie: mouse 4 working, mouse 5 events aren't even recognized from TS), I think it's pretty damned safe to say it's TS's problem, and not my config.

Of course I said this already in my OP. Reading is fundamental.

You can make Logitech mice compatible. Just download setpoint and make the button you want to use a character on your keyboard that you do not use. I help my brother configure the buttons that were not recognized to use O and P, so in battlefield he can use all of his buttons on his mouse.

I never had Logitech mice but I long time use Logitech mouse software in the past.
9.73 version, exactly. But after that version, they have added hardware checking so I cannot use MouseWare of newer versions.
