Map "scrolling down" to "press a button"

[Peanut173]

Anyone know a good software to map the scroll wheel to right clicking? That way, when I scroll up or down, it will right click. (I'm trying to mess around in a game.)

Depending on your mouse, there's often (even for generic consumer ones) software you can install to remap the buttons. The gaming ones almost always have some as well.

Try googling your model, company, and "mouse and keyboard software" or something similar. Some games take a very liberal view of control remapping, so you may even be able to change them natively in that specific title.

Download [AutoHotKey] and install it. AutoHotKey does nothing by itself, it needs a script in order to run. To create a script, open notepad and type in the following:

WheelDown::Click, right
WheelUp::Click, right

Save the file as test.ahk on your desktop. The filename has to end with .ahk

Double click on the file (script) to open it and run it. You should see it open in the tray (near the clock).

Now test it by clicking back on Notepad and try the middle mouse roller. Instead of scrolling, it should bring up the context menu (right click menu) instead. Now it's ready to test in your game. Good luck.
