Bartender 4 and Steelseries wow mouse

[forumdemon]

Hi,
i recently purchased the steelseries wow mouse.

i'm having a problem and i donno how to go around it.
i'm using bartender, which offers me more action bars than the normal blizzard UI.

i cannot find a way to assign some of the numerous mouse buttons to action bar buttons that are property of bartender.

the steelseries mouse software only offers to assign buttons to 1 or 2 action bar buttons from the game's default Action bars

anyone know a way around this?

thanks in advance.

The way I worked around this was to assign combinations to each mouse button that isn't being 'picked up' by WoW's keybinding or whatever barmod's keybinding 'detection'.

For example, on my 9 button mouse I use Shift + 1-5 for the buttons not detected. I do this in my mouse's own config software out of game. Then in game I set those key combinations for the abilities (or buttonID#) I want to use with the coresponding mouse button.

Maybe there's a better way, but this way works for me. If someone has another way, I'd be interested as well.

Sounds like you need to make sure you have the proper drivers/software installed on your PC for your mouse. Without them, it's not going to recognize the additional buttons on the mouse for input.

After that, if the BT4 "/kb" option doesn't work, you can still enter the keybindings into the WoW Keybindings menu.

i do have the latest driver, and windows does not recognize further than mouse button 4 and 5. only the driver software is able to config those buttons.

bartender's /kb option does not detect mouse clicks from those buttons same does wow's key bindings.

In the configuration software of the mouse, you can assign different functions to the buttons of the mouse - I have set it up so that for example tilting the mouse wheel left and right execute hotkeys CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-7 and -8 when wow.exe is running, so in WoW I can simply bind that combination to something and then I can use it by tilting the mouse wheel.

This might be a bit confusing explanation, and I realise that the software for the mice differ. Hopefully this can set you on the right track!
