Hello -
As a Flight Simulator enthusiast, I initially starting using XBMC about 10 years ago to customize my Logitech M705 mouse buttons to better support my FlightSim environment -- it works beautifully, THANK YOU PHIL! -- and I'm now looking to see if I can XBMC to replace the functionality of Logitech G Hub, specifically shift states, which I cannot do with G Hub because I have the MX Keys keyboard and G Hub only supports gaming keyboards, but don’t get me started on that rant, or my other one about Logitech Flow, which does not support gaming mice… <insert cuss words here>
So having said all of that, I am not particularly a fan of Logitech but unfortunately, I haven’t found many good alternatives so I’m sort of stuck with them.
I have the M705 because at the time when I bought it, it was one of the few with the tilt-wheel that would work with XBMC. I also use the MX Master 2S as a travel mouse because it’s darkfield sensor works on any surface, and my primary mouse right now is a G602, though I am looking to get the G604 to get the tilt-wheel back.
I have figured out how to get multiple shift states working great, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to use any of the additional programmable buttons above #5 on the G602, which has 11 programmable buttons, and there are 15 on the G604, so I'm motivated to find a way to get this working.
I am aware that XMBC is currently
However, I have seen a few posts where people have reported getting “all of the programmable buttons“ on gaming mice, like the Logitech G602 and G604, working with XBMC, but there weren’t any details on how they did it. I suspect it might be a combination of using G Hub to map these extra buttons to some key sequences that are used by XBMC to then execute a macro..? Maybe I'll start looking there.only able to support 5 buttons primarily because the Windows mouse hooks (that XMBC makes use of to intercept the mouse button messages) only support up to 5 buttons.
Can someone please give me some guidance on how to do this? If I can get this to work, I’m happy to compile this into some sort of support article to share with everyone.
THANK YOU!
