Hi,
Great software! I recently switched my mouse to a Logitech MX Anywhere 3S. For some reason, XMBC doesn't detect the two side buttons as the 4th and 5th buttons; nothing is highlighted when I press them. I've tried resetting the buttons to their default behaviour in Logitech Options+ (back and forward), but the issue persists. Any suggestions for how I could fix this?
Thanks,
Sam

Re: Logitech MX Anywhere 3S 4th and 5th Mouse Buttons Not Detected
Someone else is having issues with the Logitech MX S3 that I was chatting to on Discord). Its different from this issue, in that its to do with the second scroll wheel not being able to be seen by XMBC, but he didn't have problems with the buttons (as far as I know).
But in some cases, Logitech do not send the default button messages by default (if you get what I mean). So often the wa to fix it, is in the Logitech software, to set the 4th and 5th button, to BACk / FORWARD (NEXT) and see if that makes any difference. In some cases, you might need the Logitech software to be running as well (which is a bit of a pain, but if that's the case, there isn't much that can be done about that - thanks Logitech).
Ive got lots of Logitech mice (generally I like them) but they all behave slightly differently in this regard. My current main machine has a Logitech G604 which has issues with the tilt wheel not always working, particularly after the Logi+ options (or whatever it is called today) is installed. If it was never installed on the machine, the mouse seems to behave normally (but the extra 4 buttons that XMBC can not see are useless), so I wonder if simply installing the software does something to change the behaviour, whether its running or not?!

Re: Logitech MX Anywhere 3S 4th and 5th Mouse Buttons Not Detected
Changing the 4th and 5th buttons to BACK/FORWARD in the Logitech software didn't make a difference, but uninstalling the software altogether did! After uninstalling Logitech Options+, the 4th and 5th buttons are being recognized. There is still an issue where they're only being recognized when they're clicked, and are not being detected when they're held down, but that's something I can work around. Thanks for your help!
