Mouse Buttons 3-5 Mapping Inconsistently

61 votes

I have a normal wireless logitech mouse that has both back and forward buttons on the left side of it. Mouse button 4 has always worked, but for whatever reason, Mouse button 3 won't work and never has in this game. It works in EVERY single other game I play, just not this one. It'd be really cool if I could get both spells set to work off of both mouse buttons.

Assigning the Dash ability to Mouse 3 (Thumb) can be done as replacement for space, the primary binding, or added as secondary binding.
However, pressing Mouse 3 does not activate the Dash ability.

Using a Razor Basilisk v3.
Tried to assign Mouse 4 as a Keybind but recognised as Mouse 3 in game. Tried to assign Mouse 5 as Keybind and recognised as Mouse 4.

Mouse 4 Keybind (physical mouse 5) works as expected, but Mouse 3 (physical mouse 4) does not trigger heybind

The game recognizes Mouse 3 as a valid input for key configuration but when assigning it to weapon actions like primary attack or skill 2, it does nothing.

Cannot assign mouse button hotkeys. Regardless of what button I press it says leftcontrol. Once I got it to assign as normal for a few buttons but then after exiting the menu and going back in, the problem came back.

Same problem with my logitech g pro wireless mouse. The problem already existed before the Gloomrot update.

My mouse button 3 works for any other key button except for any spells and weapon abilities - why?

REPORT: After rejoining v0.6 I noticed this but I am unsure if it was there previously. Attempting to rebind "Weapon Skill 2" or "Weapon Skill 1" to "MouseButton3" will successfully rebind the control but then the control will not function. However, binding "Autorun" to the button will function and other mouse buttons such as "MouseButton4" function for using weapon skills.

I try to bind Mouse3 to Weapon Skill 1 but it doesn't work. Clicking Mouse3 does not trigger the ability. Mouse3 works correctly on other spells/abilities. Game has no mods. I have a Logitech G305. The bug was present in an earlier version of the game (when it first launched on steam) as well as in Gloomroot. The bug persists through server change and pc restarts.

Have this issue as well. There is a confusion here. Thumb buttons are usually recognized by games as mouse4 (back) and mouse5 (forward). mouse3 is the middle button. But this game for some reason recognizes back as mouse3, and forward as mouse4 (the game doesn't say how it recognizes the middle button, since there is an icon instead of a name). Forward (mouse5 recognized as mouse4) works, but back (mouse4 recognized as mouse3) doesn't.

Yeah this has been an issue ever since the game first launched. I am not sure what is causing the issue since Mouse 3 is not being reserved for anything important.

No function in the game at all requires the use of Mouse 3. Ever.

Bound Mouse 3 as Weapon Skill 1 and Mouse 4 as Weapon Skill 2.
Went back to the game and pressing Mouse 3 does nothing.

Do NOT use your extra mouse button "as is". Bind a key BEFORE on your mouse program and AFTER use those mouse buttons to assign that key to your game.

1) Get inside your mouse program.
2) Assign a key on the button you need using the keyboard buttons you don't usually use/are unassigned/are far away from your reach so can be used for that purpose
3) Use that button, once you are ingame, to make the game recognize the key you binded on that button at the point 2).

A lot of games doesn't recognize extra mouse buttons "as is" because they are NOT keyboard keys, so that is a normal behavior to expect.

unable to remap a spell to mouse 3 but am able to remap to mouse 4 just fine. The mapping appears to work in the options menu but ability does not trigger.

I have a mouse that has an additional two side buttons. When I remap some abilities to them only one of them works. The one is perfectly fine. The other says it recognizes the remapping but when trying to use it to cast the ability it doesn't do anything. I have no idea why. When i map it though it does say mouse button 3 which is usually the title for clicking in the scroll wheel. It normally is considered mouse button 5 for other things

if you change the "spell slot 2" key in the controls, it doesn't work.
I checked my mouse button works and tried different keys on keyboard, "spell slot 1" works but "spell slot 2" if you change the key or button it stops working.

Just some additional notes I found with this. I used an external program (Logi+ Options) to set my Mouse4 and Mouse5 (Forward and Back) to the G and H keys. In the game, I set weapon skill 1 and 2 to G and H respectively, but using them does nothing. Interestingly, if I use those mouse buttons when typing in chat, they show up as G and H, so something seems bugged with the mouse buttons being overridden just for weapon skills and spells.

Also note, if you press G and H on the keyboard, the skills work properly, it seems to just be the interaction of using a mouse button for these abilities.
