I'd like to bypass Logitech mouse configuration app entirely as the extra buttons would't be detect by BTT. The only reason for this are thumb button gestures.
For this, I'd like to have independent gestures depending on which mouse button is used to trigger them. Currently using gestures from the Logi app for the thumb button, and gestures from BTT with the right button.
Would it be doable?
EDIT: Already requested here more than 2 years ago it seems:
full support for logitech mice (without the logitech software) is planned for early next year.
You can already make it work by using the generic devices section in BTT and creating a custom script. Which logitech mouse are you using? (maybe there is already a script you can use)
I have posted one for the MX Master 3 here (not the S version) Support for Logitech MX Master Mice - #8 by Andreas_Hegenberg
MX Master 3S.
Except the mouse movement resolution I believe the rest can be configured between Mos and BTT already. The only exception being that I currently use 2 drawing gestures as explained above.
Would the full mice support allow this? I'm not entirely sure, it still looks like BTT would need independent drawing gestures from different button triggers.
The thumb button shows as "button 5" if I disable Logi app, so it'd be ready to use as it is. Side buttons as 3 and 4 too.
(deleted the other post accidentally)
Ah interesting, for my MX 3 the thumb button doesn't show as button 5 but instead it acts as cmd+tab.
Independent mouse gestures are indeed not easy to achieve at the moment, but it can be done. I'll post an example tomorrow (currently don't have my mouse with me to test).
Maybe the floating menus as shown in the example here
or here:
could also be an alternative to mouse gestures (they can be made to be shown on mouse down, and trigger the hovered action on button release)
I'll try using the floating menu. I'd still love to see the independent mouse gesture example if you can make it. Thanks for the help Andreas!
Here is a short video that shows how to do the independent drawings. Basically it involves setting a custom variable and using that variable in conditional activation groups
Finally got some time to set this up, it works well but I'm having an issue:
The right click regular drawing is detected as the conditional activation button5 drawing. In the recently used I can see the button 5 drawing is triggered when using the right click to draw, so the condition overrides the regular operation.
This would probably need refinement, although I think I can fix it by making right click drawing also conditional activation but it requires skipping gestures in any other non conditional activation group, all apps and individual ones, which comes as a limitation to this method.
you can reset the variable on mouse up (after a short delay), then no CAG will be active anymore
