I came across this site looking for a solution to a problem of mine; I wanted to remap my Mouse 4 and 5 keys to be F1 and F2 keys in a specific game to save my poor wrists from carpel tunnel.

So I gave it my best shot and made an extremely easy macro…thing, which looks like this:

The problem is, whenever the game loads up and I try to use it, nothing happens. So I tried something like this:

This too did nothing.

I searched around for a bit, but honestly I have no idea what I needed to be searching for, so I decided to make this post.

Did I do something wrong? Is it possible that the game is blocking the way the AHK sends the remapping? It does use some weird "nProtect GameGuard" crap. If so is there a possible way to get around this, with or without AHK?

Thanks

No clue, try another key. Like "-" "=". That's what I did. But Xbutton for me doesn't work, I use the logitech software. (Logitech MX518)

Yes, the first thing to do is try mapping them to simple keys and trying them in a program like notepad, just to make sure XButtons work for you.

Try running this script, then opening a notepad and pressing those mouse buttons:

Yes. They work outside of the game. But when I open it, they stop working.

I just discovered that theIntellimouse software can set a keystroke for those mouse buttons. I tried it, but still a no go.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking the way it picks stuff keystrokes is different.

If you don't want to use those buttons for anything else, you could try this method of remapping: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm#registry
