Remap Mouse Buttons

SharpKeys: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 at 03:25 PM by Randy

X-Button Mouse Control: X-Mouse Button Control is a windows application to remap your mouse buttons.
This software is designed and written for Microsoft Windows XP/2003 x64 Edition but I have also, from version 1.5, built a 32bit version.

You are able to provide an application specific mappings, which means one application can use the mouse differently from another. This is useful for games which do not inherently support the extended mouse buttons, because you can map keys to each button.

A number of people that have looked at SharpKeys have asked me about remapping mouse buttons... I haven't tried it but it looks like it would get the job done.

Happy bits!

Hi,

I've tried everything to remap my AltGr key on my Sony Vaio laptop but without succes...

Currently when I press the AltGr key on my notebook it gets this key (E0_2038), wich is unknown by SharpKeys.
Is there a way to map this key to the original Right Alt key(E0_38)?

I really hope you can help me out because I can't use my notebook for programing purposes anymore and I don't know what do anymore...

Many thanks and regards

No idea honestly but I know other people have successfully remapped AltGr - I've just never had a keyboard with it so I have no direct knowledge of it. That said, take a look at the comments here and on the 2.1.1 post - someone maybe have found an answer.

Great disadvantage - you cant assign any action to Ctrl+MouseDown, for example

Actually my task is to copy text by middle mouse button, and to paste it on a same second click (clearing clipboard)...

I want to fix back my s and a to the correct place. How do I do that?

Can I somehow map my Right Alt key to AltGr? I can't find the E0_2038 key in the list.

Based off the comments above, I'd say "no" but check with the makers of the software.
