Hey can any of you guys help me with a mouse problem im having.

I have a g500 and cant seem to bind the side buttons in BF3 or even in TF2. In bf3 it acts as if they dont even exist ! In tf2 it sees one of the side buttons , but as the same as mouse 2. Ive re installed software , all upto date and cant seem to see why this is.

Thanks in advance

Does it work or have any function out if game?

Oh and if you can store profiles and other cool stuff why not bind one of the non working buttons to a F* key or any other key which isn't normally used so you can bind that instead.

Out of game , one button is browser back , and on forward. The other doesnt do anything that i know of. It has profiles but im not sure what they do. I just want to bind it to do something in game. I.e Sprint/Prone, But to no avail !

blind guess, but i believe the profiles are application-specific. aka the buttons bind to a different set according to the application that is opened.
you might have to make a profile for TF2 and BF3 separately so that whenever you have one or the other open, the profile is activated, automatically adjusting the button binding.

There's also an interesting how-to-do by logitech Here.

When I bought my new mouse my mouse buttons 6 and 7 wouldn't work in TF2 etc, it just wouldn't recognise them. I managed to get them to work by swopping the configuration round in the software that came with it.

Change the config of the side buttons from "Back/Forward" to "Other => Default" in the SetPoint software. They will still work for back/forward, but are recognized as "Mouse 3,4,5 whatever" in games.

Changed them from what they were in settings to "Generic Button" and still nothing , also changed them individually to "Generic Button 1" then "generic button 2" etc tec , and still nothing , its as if they exist for nothing but Back and Forward :S

mine don't even do that anymore q.q
