Make wheel click perform "Back" action?

Post by gate1975mlm »

Can you please add an option to make the wheel click perform a "Back" action?

I have a Microsoft mini mouse for my laptap and it does not have a back button. So I want to make wheel click to perform back action.

I can do this with tyhe Microsoft software for the mouse however the Microsoft softare is crapo and I really would rather not have to use it.

Is it even possible to make wheel click perform the back action?

Thanks

Does the "Back" option in the drop down not work?

Its works for "Wheel up" and "Wheel Down" but there is no option for "Wheel Click" anywhere in the XMBC UI that i can see.

The wheel click is the middle mouse button on most mice. When you click the button with the XMBC setup GUI open, it should highlight the relavant field which I would expect to be "Middle Button".

There are a few mice with more than 5 buttons, in that case it is possible that the mouse wheel button may not be in the first 5, in which case it can not be remapped by XMBC.

Thanks,
Phil

I am happy to report that I was able to get the Back Action to work with Wheel Click on my little Microsoft mouse which does have only 5 buttons. It has a Left,Right and a wheel for up,Down and click :)

However like you said Back Action will not work with Wheel Click on my Logitech mouse because it have more then 5 bottons. In fact it has 7 buttons plus wheel. But the good news is I don't need Back Action Wheel Click on my Logitech mouse because unlike my little Microsoft mouse the Logitech actually has a back button.

Thanks for your help! :)
