Extra Mouse Key Binds

[xImFriendly 10]

I'm have two buttons or macros or whatever they are called on the side of my mouse, for standalone what is the most useful things to bind them too?

[Freshmen 28]

pretty much up to you, im going with 1st/3rd person switch and toggle gps(at least in the mod)

[huf757 82]

auto run if you dont have a macro on your keyboard for that

[Rags! 1966]

Feast your eyes on this gloriously beautiful piece of electronic ergonomic handjob simulating plasticness.  :wub: This is a Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, but it should be called the Logitech G600 Best Thing Ever For Everything.

 

 <-- Look at all those buttons. There's twelve. Jesus could have a button for every disciple.

 

^^^ Motherfucker has a third mouse button. Shit's insane. 

 

Logitech software lets you have profiles for games and people and lets you take all of the functions on this mouse and turn them into anything. For example, my third mouse button WHICH THIS MOUSE FUCKING HAS I have assigned to "=" because no game uses it. Then I just assign it to...

 

Battlefield - Swap to secondary

Call of Duty - Melee

Guild Wars 2 - Swap weapon

DayZ - Inventory

Garry's Mod - Voice Chat

 

Plus, if you want to just make it a super easy push-to-talk button for Teamspeak? Yea, you can do that, too. Those disciple buttons? Assign them 1-0 and wreck skrubs because you can swap to any gadget, any tool, any Exo-launcher-rocket-spawnbeacon anything. For DayZ, I can access every item on my quick bar thingy with my thumb. It makes things just so much easier. 

 

Buy this thing. It's not expensive. I can't go back to anything else. 

 

Now give me beans, you peasant.  :beans:

I have a corsair m60 (way better than plastic logitec). I have three extra buttons, including a sniper button (lowers DPI, for more accuracy when pressed.)

Although I just rebind, one is autorun. One is teamspeak and one is holding breath when aiming.

Edit: Oh yes, there are also two DPI changing buttons which I've changed to setting the range of my scope. I'm so used to it that I forgot about them.

I have a RAT9, few extra buttons on the side so I just use them for zoom in and out

[NoPaEr10 50]

I use the buttons on the side of my mouse to toggle zoom, because im sniping very often with this you can toggle your zoom and prevent it from zooming all the way in.

[kichilron 8550]

First Mouse Button: Fire

Second Moue Button: Zoom

 

Those are left and right. Now to the extra ones:

 

• Hold breath
• Compass (if available -> not applicable to DayZ SA)

This is the perfect setup for me. By default hold breath and Zoom is the same button, hence why so many people complaing about being out of breath the entire time while running about and doing nothing but "scanning their environment". If you have two separate buttons for each you have a win/win situation.

 

Compass is very important for Military simulations and in standard ARMA you don't have to get your compass out and in your hand like in SA. This leads to being able to call out locations, distance, bearing almost immediately, not having to reach out for another button on the keyboard for the compass.

I have two side buttons for my mouse, I use them for...

 

But #4: Sprint

But #5: Push to talk

 

I have been toying with using one of those buttons bound to [1] so that it brings up that item in the inventory as having a quicker way to get out your melee or pistol can be a life saver, however I have stuck with the ones I have for the following reason.

 

#4 Sprint: Well this should be obvious. We all need a way to get top speed as quickly as possible. I still have [W]x2 bound for sprint as well (as using the mouse bind I can't bring up my inventory when sprinting however using the [W]x2 bind I can), but the ability to "get the fuck out of dodge" has definitely saved my life on several occasions.

 

#5 Push to Talk: Probably not as common with others but let me explain. When talking you are either in passive or aggressive mode. Passive is when walking to places or sitting around a fire, etc. It's unlikely you will be needing a fast reflex at that point so in many ways it doesn't matter what keys you use. Aggressive though is a different matter. Either it's during a fire fight, and you are communicating with the enemy or your team mate (if I am on TS as well, I use a slightly different config), or you are at a 'first contact' moment with an unknown player (perhaps an erratic new spawn). In both of these occasions you really need your fingers over the keys you need so you can get the fastest response. As But #5 on my mouse is next to my thumb, having it depressed doesn't have a detrimental effect on any of my movement. My mouse fingers are still over L/R buttons and my keyboard hand isn't hampered by pressing an extra button to talk.

 

"Why not just have your mic open and set to automatically pick up sound rather than manually?", I hear you ask. Well I am a bit of a sound Nazi and with an open mic it's not long before you hear all sorts of shit coming through their comms; music, people talking in the background and of course the dreaded feedback loop - I have shot people purely for their consistent feedback loops. Don't have an open mic near me, is the message I am trying to get across here.

G500s is the only way to go.

[rickyriot 1009]

G500s is the only way to go.

 

 

G500s are cunts, and I apologise mods for using such brash language but the truth must out. Logitech have a persistent bug in those things that they refuse to fix. While working they are excellent but that working window shrinks as they get older, and shrinks considerably. I've owned 2 G500s both suffered the same problem, which is all to do with the mouse buttons not retaining their state (ie: a prolonged right mouse button press becomes a series of short mouse button clicks).

 

You know the mouse I use now? Possibly the cheapest one I've ever used seriously is this one.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005CPGHAA ..which I bought after being annoyed at another Logitech fuck up as a stop gap until I had sorted out some money for a decent Razer. Turns out it's fucking excellent for such a low price. Go figure.

 

 

Now, back on topic, isn't there someone on here who uses the Nostromo?

 

[creature 1189]

I just tossed out my G500 for the above reason.

 

OT, I bound an extra button to free look. Once you're use to it, there is no other way. :D

Don't buy another. It'll end up having the same problem.

I have that bound to [L ALT] which is activated by my thumb. The only other key I trigger with the thumb is the [space] which raises my weapon. I can think of better things for my limited mice buttons than the free look. (Edit: I only ever play 1PP)

If you use a macro (or use something to keep w pressed) so you don't need a hand on the keyboard to run, having freelook on the mouse makes it much easier to get your nicotine fix or a couple bites of your sammich while still keeping your head on a swivel when making haste through the forest.  ;)  

 

...and I'm using a Corsair M65 now (the version with the ship logo :thumbsup: , NOT the gamer one. :rolleyes:  ). It's a damn fine mouse so far.

Pfft, lightweight! ;)

It's all part of the fun trying to roll a cigarette while also trying to keep your wits about you!

If I had the money it would be a Razer. I had a Razer (Diamondhead? No idea, it was years ago) some time ago and it was absolutely superb. I went back to buy a new one and they had quadrupled in price. So, being a Scot, parting with money was never on the agenda! That's why I am using a mouse that costs £8, but as I say it's surprisingly good for the money - stunningly good if I'm honest, and it's won quite a few admirers too.
