[SOLVED] MADCATZ R.A.T. 8+ Mouse ---- how do i rebind a key from "cycle profiles" to "cycle DPI" ?

[J4CK20]

There isn't an option in the mouse software to change the function of this key. It is the "Cycle Profile" key, left of LMB
i want to rebind it to "cycle DPI"
how do i go about this?

Do you have any sort of User Guide or Manual?

This product?

The FAQ's seemed to be as close as I could get with regards to rebinding a key,.

Found quite a number of "manual" type links but some links were sketchy and simply trying to get the viewer to click and download "something"

Did not do that.

The following link seems to be okay...

https://www.navod-k-obsluze.cz/upload/herni-mys-mad-catz-rat-8--navod-k-obsluze.pdf

Scanned the document but did not note any direct instructions regarding the required key binding change.

Details may be buried in the actual on screen admin pages - if the rebinding is at all possible.

yes, this product. ive read through that manual.
the "profile cycle" button
im asking if theres any additional program i can use to rebind that button.
preferably to rebind to cycle dpi, but to rebind it to a regular keyboard key would work to.
ill just never use the buttons function as it is right now

Consider keyboard remapping:

FYI:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager

So when "Cycle Profile" is pressed the resulting keyboard output is altered to Cycle DPI.

Powershell may be another available option:

https://superuser.com/questions/600675/how-to-remap-shortcut-in-powershell

You will need the applicable keyboard codes for Cycle Profile and Cycle DPI.

Then a bit of script to recognize Cycle Profile and when found/received, replace with the code for Cycle DPI.

Here is a link that explains making the required change for a Logitech G900

Not a directly applicable link per se. However, the link may provide some terminology or other information that you can use to seek similar information for your RAT 8 mouse.
