I have a NAGA 12 button mouse, and I successfully mapped all the buttons to actions that I can use through BTT. However, my problem is that the default key ie 1, 2 3 , 4 , etc are still being remembered by the mouse and accidentally being entered in excel sheets, or documents when I trigger an action. I can also hear a click that a keyboard button is pressed!
This is very dangerous, for example, you could select all text in a document, and pressing a mouse button to trigger an action like Application Expose, suddenly all the selection in the document is deleted and replaced by a number from the default mouse button. Imagine doing this without knowing!!
How do I disable the default values from the mouse buttons? so they won’t be triggered at the same time as the specified action?
I used Generic device , Target Device, and Analyser.
Is there a better way? please advise. I tried another brand mouse with 11 buttons, but BTT didn’t recognize it. I purchased this NAGA mouse because I saw some success with it with BTT.
depending on the mouse you might be able to configure the buttons in BTT's "Normal Mouse" section - or if the mouse sends keyboard events in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" section.
When using generic devices you can try this option, however especially for mice this is not always possible:
Yes, I tried that before once I check this box, the mouse cursor completely freezes, I can still use my other USB mouse, until I quit BTT, and disable the button, the mouse starts working again.
I am happy with my assignments of the buttons, and how things work. My only issue is explained in my original post about disabling the key stroke.
Oh man, I was so exited at the beginning when I mapped the mouse keys using keyboard shortcut, it so much easier and cleaner. However, the disappointment happened when I realized that all my number keys now that are default mouse buttons are now functioning as the assigned action!, so I can’t input numbers anymore!
Now I want my keyboard to keep remembering the number keys? or is it possible to stop the keyboard shortcut actions if the mouse is in a text box, or above anything requires keyboard input?
any solution, please?
The normal mouse is only picking left, right, and scroll buttons.
