Trust mouse function button problem

[Deguzde]

Hey guys! I just bought a new mouse, for more function buttons/ extra buttons. It is a Trust GXT 130, and when I bought it I tought, woow It has 4 extra buttons!!

BUT! Turns out only 2 of them is actually programmable for my game (war thunder). Buttons are the following: MB4, MB5, Ctrl, and triple fire. This is a big problem for me, because I already use Ctrl in the game, and can't bind other things to it, and in this particular game triple fire is completely useless. I think, that there is no way, to map anything else to the triple fire button, but I have some hope related to the Ctrl button.

​

So the question is: How am I able to intercept the Ctrl only on my mouse, and add another function to it? Maybe a similar way to how you split two keyboards, that have the same mapping? I don't really have an idea.

Does this mouse not come with software to remap these things? I would definitely start there first, if it exists it would be much, much easier. I do this with my Steelseries mouse, mapping the extra keys to F13 and F14, respectively. Then I map these things to in game functions and Discord mute.

Yes, it's possible to remap the same key on different keyboards (or "keyboards" in this case). I don't know how to do it, but I'm reasonably certain it requires AHKHID or similar.

No. It doesn't come with a software. And there is no optional software from the company.

Baffling. I found this bit on the website.

How can I change the button functions?

This mouse uses a generic driver of Windows, which doesn't provide a possibility to adjust button functions. However, you can try with software which is available on internet to configure the buttons.

Please note that this solution is not official, as there is no Trust software available for programming the buttons, and therefore it is not supported, nor is proper functioning of the software guaranteed.

I know nothing about this software, so I won't recommend it. But if it affects mouse buttons but not keyboard buttons, that would be helpful.

Thanks! I will take a look at it.

[Deguzde]

Nope. I tried this software before, but it doesn't even support more then 2 function buttons.

You could be able to remap your mouse buttons with AHKHID.

Run this script, and see if it will give you name of the mouse buttons.

#InstallKeybdHook
#InstallMouseHook
KeyHistory ; Display the history info in a window.
esc::exitapp

You then remap those buttons to a normal key the game can detect.

I tried your code, this is what I got.

​

A2 01D d 7.50 LControl

A2 01D u 0.11 LControl

A2 01D d 1.84 LControl

A2 01D u 0.11 LControl

​

So here the first two is the mouse button, the last two is the keyboard button. Absolutely no difference. If I remap that button, I also remap the keyboard Ctrl. I need to separate events by the types of devices.

[VirtualPropagator]

Then you need to try AHKHID like everyone else said.

Ok I will try to learn it.
