Any way to change mouse's buttons from Control, Alt, and Shift?

[Fallonite]

I got this gaming mouse from Amazon, and the three buttons on the side are just secondary Left Control, Left Alt, And Left Shift keys, which are obviously better used on the Keyboard. Is there any way to map them as Mouse 4, Mouse 5, and Mouse 6 so that they can do other functions in games?

So I managed to use a combination of AHK and another program called HidMacros which can call the scripts from the specific device (M288 mouse).

- Just create a script that does the desired effect when it is opened.
- Load HidMacros and scan the button you want to assign the script to.
- Select the script as a program to run.

DONE!

Hi Buddy could you elaberate a little more on what you did, im trying both the programs out and im stuck lol.
I can get HID Macro to run the scrip but dont have a clue what to put in the script. Any help would be great

So I wanted the classic forward/back browser functionality. I created 2 scripts (one for forward, one for back).
Because AHK doesn't have to check for the button press you don't need to define the key being pressed so my back script for example is just...

Send, {Browser_Back}
Return

Save that somewhere like your desktop.
Now pull up HidMacros.
- Create a new macro.
- Click scan.
- Press the desired button.
- Click the run application radio button
- Select the script
- Hit Compile All

Now when you press that button it should run the script.
Obviously change the script to do whatever you want it to do.

Have fun!

I recently bought this mouse and I'm frustrated with this. I followed your instructions, which sent the new key/command, but it also sends the original key press, so it wont work on the alt and ctrl buttons. Is there a solution to this - to get my computer to ignore the original mouse output?

Hi can you give a dummies walk through on this as. I've been looking for ages to get the back/forward button config on the m288 mouse to work. I've never used AHK before, I've tried to do it by myself but can't get anything to work.
Ideally I would like a forward and back button and also a home button to take me back to the top of long pages.
Thanks in advance.

I could really use like a image or something explaining exactly what you and how to change the button to something mouse button 4. Could you just tell me the script you used so I can get an idea of this
