Mouse Rebinding???

If you have proper drivers installed you should be able to assign your mouse buttons with a keyboard button. For example, i have a razer copperhead and i have bind my side(thumb) buttons to NUMPAD 1 and NUMPAD 2. Now i can go to PoE options and use Numpads as normal key bindings which can be used from my mouse. Hope this helps, cheers

logitech gaming soft works fine too.

Yes, please address this issue GGG. I hate using the middle mouse button for anything except scrolling.

I have a lot of buttons on my mouse, but I found that reprogram the buttons on the mouse to letters gives a faster response in most games (instead of MB 4-10 etc)

Though in this game they've reserved an actionslot for the middlemousebutton and that slot can't be changed.

That gives me on one hand a problem because of the reassignment I've made, but also, with default settings, the middlemousebutton on my mouse is never found in any game I've played due to the drivers.

So reserving an actionbarslot only to mmb is not very nice...

Many people in the rebind threads recommend autohotkey, but none posted an actual script for noobs like myself. Here we go, put this in an .ahk file:


Run Client.exe, C:\Program Files (x86)\Path of Exile
#IfWinActive Path of Exile ; makes the rebind exclusive to the PoE window
Capslock::MButton ; 'Capslock' key acts like the 'middle mouse button'


Use that .ahk file as your PoE shortcut, and you're set.


Just like that, i now have space for 8 skills, not 7! Thanks to the extra slot i'm going to try using a click to move key. I found it useful in D3 on a laptop touchpad.


Edit: Capslock works better, since it's a useless key anyway. Don't know how to make the script automatically exit when you exit PoE, but that's a minor inconvenience. Anyone know how?

Edit 2: Figured it out after a lot of pain. Here's a copy of my final version of the PoE rebind (click quote to get better, tabbed spacing):



SetTimer process_watcher, 2000 ; check every 2 seconds

Run Client.exe, C:\Program Files (x86)\Path of Exile ; start the game

#IfWinActive Path of Exile ; makes the rebind exclusive to the PoE window

Capslock::MButton ; 'Capslock' key acts like the 'middle mouse button' ; return is implicit

process_watcher:

Process Exist, Client.exe ; check to see if PoE is still open

If ErrorLevel = 0

Exitapp ; if it's closed, exit the .ahk file



Alternately, you can do what i did: say goodbye to Capslock's original use entirely, since who ever uses it? Simply throw the below line into an .ahk file, and put a shortcut to that file in your Windows Start Menu, in the Startup folder. Bonus: now you have a useful middle mouse button simulator in every application, great for scrolling.

DItto... pretty much just playing without a middle button. MODERATORS PLEASE HELP!!! :D

Agreed only using middle mouse for aura, but kinda sucks when I'm on a char not using auras :S


Need more keybinding options !:P

so this is not been added in open beta after all, sigh

this issue was brought up over half a year ago and it still has not been resolved? my middle mouse button also does not work but like many others, i have more buttons on my mouse that i would like to rebind.
