Technical issue - mouse buttons "manual" customizing?
I own an old Labtec mouse (model M-BAA130) which I'm using in Win10 64.
The mouse is working regularly for standard operation, but I can't perform any advanced configuration (side buttons, middle click and so on) because the OS "sees" it as a standard MS PS/2. Needless to say, no "official" drivers are available from Logitech (who acquired Labtec years ago).
Maybe, who knows, the mouse could be successfully... driven by forcing the OS to see it as another similar laser mouse, but then again information seem to be impossible to find (I wasn't able to, anyway).
However, I noticed that the "unseen" buttons do actually work; the side ones, for example, produce "back" and "forward" moves between pages inside the web browser. This seems to prove that the OS actually detects those buttons and also their events. So I thought that the links between their clicks and the associated actions have to be written somewhere and maybe, being written, they can also be edited somehow.
Any ideas or suggestions?
PS. I obviously know I could solve everything simply... buying a new mouse. After all, the "buy something solution" is one of the most common nowadays.
However, as I wrote in the title, I'm interested in the technical side of the matter. And yes, I admit it, I don't like at all the idea of throwing away things that still work.
