okay so i bought this cheap gaming mouse from ebay and it didnt come with any disk or anything and has no clear brand name but has 3 extra customisable buttons two of which work fine wiht this software i found that lets you bind buttons but the problem with the third is it kind of acts as left click so if i rebind it left click will be changed also and not only that the light on the mouse is meant to change between red purple and blue but currently its stuck on blue due to having no way to change it, i contacted the supplier asking if they could point me to any software that might work or if i just have to press the buttons in a certain way to change the light or set the unprogrammable button and they have yet to reply, and yes i know i could have bought a more expensive one but i was fed up with using my netbook mouse for my main pc and wanted a few extra buttons to make games a little easier not to mention i only wanted a little dpi increase as well and seeing as i could get those few things i wanted cheap i did.so any suggestions ?, i did try other gaming mouse companies software but they all required me to have their mouse to work.

try disabling/uninstalling xmouse....restarting the computer....then going in some games to the mouse config options.

how are the mouse buttons coming up in there (when you try to map keys to the mouse)? do they show up as different (ie mouse 1-5 buttons) or does the one acting like a left click come up as the same button as the actual left click (ie mouse button 1 and mouse button 1) when you try to map commands to it in the game menu?

generally this is why people go with major brands: to avoid the hassle of not having drivers/software and to avoid having products which only somewhat work correctly. oh and not to mention actually having customer service and a website. many cheap products like you purchased do work fine however there are also times where they do not. its a bit hit or miss.

you could try to go to the manufacturer website to see if they have drivers for the mouse (but that is highly doubtful). if you dont know the manufacturer you could try asking the supplier this.

things such as led color are generally controlled by software or a hard switch on the device or sometimes by a key combination on some devices. normally it is by software.

in games is the "other" left mouse button listed as a mouse button 3 or 4 etc or is it listed as the same as the left mouse button? see if you can verify if it is just your program that you downloaded which is reading the button wrong or if it is in fact an issue with the mouse. if it is an issue with the mouse then there may not be anything you can do.

i've never heard of a generic gaming mouse software. you could try mouse button software like x-mouse or others however they will not work for advanced functions like dpi or color shift. just because two mice have the same functions doesnt mean they are hardwired to be controlled the same way. they might need two different codes/inputs to accomplish the change. this is why many mice come with software (logitech has setpoint, razer has synapse, etcetera).

using extra buttons is easy to map if the mouse is set up so that they all appear as different buttons to the system. for instance button 1 and 2 for left/right click, then buttons 3, 4, 5, 6 etcetera. if the mouse was hardwired for just left click on both buttons then there isnt much software could do about that.

not really a complete solution but hopefully it gives you some ideas.

Nothing is impossible..

I have been searching for the OEM software as well but not found yet...

then i try to play with registry keys and learning the Hex codes they are using to signal PC for output...
these are located at
HKEY_Current_USERS\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput...

will update on any improvements

@dak

you are correct, nothing is technically impossible.

however, if the mouse buttons are physically linked (wired) together inside the mouse and when you press either one of them it registers a certain signal no amount of reg-keys, hex-codes, and user-created programming can do anything about it.

the only way to fix it would be to modify the hardware of the mouse.

in the case of this particular device you would need the exact same mouse as the OP to even attempt to diagnose the issue and if you were to have the OP do the tests then they would need to be very familiar with such things or they could cause havok in the registry. in any case after hours (or days or weeks) of testing/diagnosing/learning code its not guaranteed that its a software issue at all. honestly its not worthwhile for a $5-10 ebay mouse.

windows is rather good at picking up extra mouse buttons on its own and it did detect both of the buttons however they were picked up as the same exact button which leads me to believe that the issue stems back to the hardwiring of the mouse and not any kind of software.

Hi ssdx,:)
Thanks for Insights...
learning and exploring can not be compared with compensation.(some times it gives you Treasure)
:??: can't we divert the signals to other desired targeted area just like remapping of windows keys...

i have got the Temporary solution to it with AutoHotKey programme.. its very great and flexible. you don't need any other programme and just a little logical mind to write scripts. (I am learning it)
also note that this programme (scripts) can be finally produced to GUI (Exe) which will make it as Macro software for any ORM china Mouse.

For my Mouse i have wrote the mapping and also script code to utilize the extra buttons wherever needed.

autohotkey works by mapping the mouse buttons to any other command.

for instance:

mouse1 to the ctrl key
mouse2 to the B key
mouse3 to scroll left
scroll wheel stays scroll wheel

that sort of thing.

however if your computer reads two buttons as both
mouse1 and mouse1 (perhaps they are actually wired that way inside the mouse)
then there isnt much you can do.

as i said... it all depends on how the mouse is recognized by your system and how it is actually hardwired inside the mouse.

if all the buttons are recognized in the right manner (they all appear different to the system... ie none appear as the same key) then autohotkey works wonders.
