Along with the AutoHotKey macro program, you can get your mouse to do a LOT of repetitious work for you. Unfortunately, it won't be proofreading this post. After installing uberOptions, I was trying to modify a config file for an unsupported mouse (Logitech M510). It was very basic, and quickly I had some success (more on that below). However, I was unable to assign application-specific settings for a middle (scroll) button, instead seeing the message "This button cannot be configured for application-specific behavior." I <i>could</i> assign a system-wide/global action or key for my middle button, but was frustrated I couldn't go application-specific with it. (The application-specific options had started working for other buttons on the mouse.) Reading this article clued me to try assigning a keystroke to that button globally, and sure enough the application-specific feature for that button started working perfectly. As above, my mouse (the M510) was not supported, but I was able to edit the XML file quite easily. The hard part was finding the right file. On my Windows 7 machine the file was located at: <blockquote>C:\ProgramData\Logishrd\SetPointP\Devices\PointingDevice\10000A9\10000A9.xml</blockquote> Each device has a folder (10000A9 in my case), and the XML file says right near the top what mouse it is for (search for "DisplayName") Then I found the button or buttons I wanted to customize (look for ). Under <TriggerState ..., I changed the property HandlerSetGroup= from something like HandlerSetGroup="MiddleButtonGroup7" to HandlerSetGroup="UberGroup" uberOptions is a great little program.

I am running SetPoint 3.3 on Vista Ultimate 32-bit with an MX1000 mouse. I have not installed Uberoptions (yet :) ). I am able to use SetPoint to bind, say, the forward button on my mouse to a keystroke, but when I launch a game, and then configure my keys for that game, the game does not recognise the keystroke when I press the forward button on my mouse. This is happening in all 3 of the games I am playing currently, Half Life 2 (incl. CSS, HL2 deathmatch etc.), Call of Cthulhu, Dark Corners of the Earth and Prey. The same games on Windows XP Pro worked fine with my key-bindings. Any ideas? Would Uberoptions help with this issue? Thanks! Regards, Max Hi Peter :

Yes, I think there's something in uberOptions where if you set an action to "Generic Button", then that button cannot be assigned different options across profiles. (I.E, it is a "Generic Button" for every profile) If you like keeping them set as generic buttons, you can usually configure their usage from within the game itself. Okay, cool.

I think it had something to do with setting generic buttons in the all programs profile messing up my game profile. I finally got it working.

I see there is a newer version of uberoptions, so I will try that even though the changelog doesn't sound like it changes anything for the MX1000. I am using Setpoint 3 and uberoption 2.91.
