Those extra buttons on your mouse

I'm not so sure if anyone else will find this useful but whatever.

I found when I started playing PR that it was stupid to have to stop and press B to talk to my squad. So I set one of my useless extra mouse buttons to VOIP and now I can Run and Talk and shoot all at the same time! Thats my 2 cents

wel, I can reach b with my thumb while I do stuff, so it never bothered me, but my TS bindings are on my mouse, I find too many extra buttons just get in the way though

Have you been able to bind the middle three buttons to do anything? No matter what I try, I am always unsuccessful.

sure, but I didn't try the plus/minus...they are the sensitivity changers and I love them too much to change them.

waldo,

Logitech SetPoint should do it. Unless they really don't do anything. That's what I use. Helps with switching all the gun modes in the Attach Choppers quickly :p

Thumb for VOIP/jump.
Index finger, middle finger and ring finger for WASD/reload/open/enter/comms
Pinky for sprint/crouch/prone.

-I have lots of stuff bound to my mouse(Reload, for instance) but I rarely use them.

VOIP to one, and a precision-changer for the other one, helps a -lot- for tricky long range shots.

I have a Logitech G5 so I use the two left side thumb buttons for VOIP. The forward one is for Squad VOIP while the rear most one is for TS.

I must be the only one who has been playing with the arrow keys since forever :D
No WASD, but the arrows. Right ctrl to jump, Kp0 tu crouch, space to prone, end to enter a vehicle.

On the mouse: reload, zoom view. I wish I had one or 2 more buttons, though.

well... i find that i can still run and shoot and everything with the b button, since i use my left thumb to press it... but that might just be me...

anyways, i have a "inverse y-axis" on my mouse, since when i am a gunner in a chopper, i prefer non inverse mouse movement, but as a pilot, inverse movement is what im used to.

Seriously guys? Am i the only one to use one (the lower thumb one) of those two nifty extra buttons for map? (And parachute for the upper one, but that's a relic from vbf2 though). It's one of the best keybinds ever, never have to take away one hand to view the map, AWSOME! :D

That was the first thing i also set it to, TS/VoIP. But it sucks, like when shooting and talking at the same time? Feels like you're pinching your mouse. i promptly set it back to keyboard.
Nearest for primary weapon (3), very effective for switching fire-modes on the go. The other for M-map. Perfect.

First side button on a G5 for fire-rate selection = win.
