Configuring other mouse buttons than Left and Right
Is it possible to program the Scythe's PCsensor footswitch to send different mouse buttons than the already supported left and right mouse button?
My mouse for example has a Left, Right, Middle, 4th and 5th mouse button and I would like to program the footswitch to send the code for a 6th mouse button so I can bind it to a completely different function.
Unfortunately the functionality at least is not in this programming software yet and I was wondering if it is even supported by the hardware and the communication protocol. Sadly I have no expertise regarding the hardware or the communication protocol.
How do you differentiate mouse buttons from other key combinations? Why not program the footswitch to emit, for example, Alt+Shift+1 and bind this to the function you want?
Thanks for that recommendation, I'm currently testing this out for my personal use case to enable Push-To-Talk in my voice chat client.
I still think it could be useful in the future to be able to program other mouse buttons as well though.
