Thanks again for this functionality, Andreas; it is greatly appreciated.
I followed the instructions for activating the functionality to draw with the thumb button. I can activate my desired triggers up, left, and right, but I cannot get the down direction to work. I have deleted the gesture and redone it x2 & I have switched whatever the gesture is supposed to trigger. these are the only 4 gestures that are active. Any ideas on troubleshooting?
After the update to 5.800 (2025120207), I am continuing to have the same issue where the button shown in the screenshot will work to switch from ratchet scrolling mode to free spin scrolling mode, but when pressed again, it will not revert back to ratchet scrolling mode.
Something similar happens with the âToggle between big and normal cursor.â The button will work more than once, but it will only keep increasing the size of the cursor.
To return to ratchet scrolling mode, I have to open BTT configuration and âapply all settings nowâ where ratchet mode is the default in my MX Master configuration. Is this functioning as expected?
Awesome addition to BTT!. Do you think itâs possible to reduce the waiting time for settings to reapply after wake up? It seems to take some seconds to fully incorporate them.
Also, could the acceleration value go beyond 20? Would like to manage a very low speed / very high acceleration approach (Like it works in SteerMouse, for example).
My only wish is that my new M720 would recognize the following buttons like it did on my old M705:
Thumb button as Button 5 - instead of Button 8
Left scroll as Scroll Left - instead of Button 6
Right scroll as Scroll Right - instead of Button 7
Guess I have to duplicate my profile & re-record all of these (I have TONS of per-app settings too ). Wish there was a bulk âfind & replaceâ feature or something lol.
Note 1: my old M705 (on an older BTT version) never needed any special settings. It just worked. I assume it didnât use the new Logitech HID++ 2.0 protocol?
Note 2: tried plugging in my M705 and set up another Logitech Mouse configuration for it just like I did with the M720. But none of the 3 buttons mentioned above are being recognized, even after BTT restart.
Having all sorts of issues with my M720. At first, BTT recognized the thumb button as Button 8. Now it wonât anymore. On Firefox, I have app specific settings and use Buttons 6 & 7 (the back/forward buttons) to do keyboard shortcut â+Shift+[ and â+Shift+] (switch tabs). But it was doing each keyboard shortcut twice. I deleted those triggers and re-created them and that fixed it.
I donât want to have to redo all my triggers for every app if theyâre having issues like this
unfortunately I don't have these mouse models to test with yet but I'll get some more next week.
Re-recording the button ckicks would only help if the mouse button numbers changed since you recorded them. If the buttons arenot recognized at all, try to re-apply the settings
//edit: ah now I understood, you recorded some buttons with the old mouse but the new one uses different button numbers? Unfortunately there is currently no way to assign different button numbers for use inside of BTT.
Hi @Andreas_Hegenberg, thank you for the work on support for Logitech mice, and other new features along the way.
So far Iâve only had a chance to test a Logitech MX Master (1st Gen) that I have at work, and have been able to get the following working just fine:
Middle mouse button click Scroll ratchet is detected as Button 7 and Iâm able to assign actions Thumb button maps to button 6 and Iâm able to assign actions
I do note that the change for âScroll Settingsâ requires me to restart BTT to go between Free Spin Mode and Ratchet Mode, not a big deal, but interesting.
Thank you again, I just purchased a lifetime license (onto of a previous purchase and my SetApp subscription), because this is great work and you deserve a few extra $$$$!
I canât toggle between ratchet mode and free spin with Button 7 (originally the dedicated button to toggle the mouse wheel mode which I want to recreate). Thereâs no toggle feature for that, I can only switch it to one of the two modes, but not back with the same key. Would be nice if you could add a toggle feature!
Unless these basic Logitech functions are not available in BTT I unfortunately canât use it and I really want to, would be nice to get rid of Options+!
Another thing that would be nice to have is to be able to use all 7 buttons in the âAdvanced Conditionsâ section. Currently, only left/right/middle mouse buttons are available here.
You can use the predefined action "Logitech: Change Smart Shift Settings / Ratchet Mode" (to toggle use the "cycle through multiple actions" meta action.
The gesture stuff can be replicated with BTT's drawing gestures, I can post an example preset later! (Personally I'm showing a floating menu (similar to this) when hitting the gesture button, that also works really well. I can also post an example for such a menu later)
The mouse buttons are all available in advanced trigger conditions via the currently_pressed_mouse_buttons variable
(It doesn't contain the mouse configuration itself, just the triggers for toggling ratchet mode, gesture button to show app launcher, gesture button + move left => left space, move right => right space, move up => app expose, move down => show desktop).
v5.801 should speed things up a lot, it now persists the discovered features of a mouse the first time it is initialized and reuses that information later. This saves a lot of time.
I wanted to trigger a short cut when pressing two mouse buttons at the same time but I did it separately now, mouse 3 triggers a modifier (options) and left mouse is left mouse while allowing mouse movement, that works fine for changing the angle in ïŁżMaps.
