I can't custom bind keys to my Razer mouse side buttons?

Question

I have a Razer mouse, which has your typical two side buttons. I want to bind one of those buttons with one of my gadget keys. But, nothing is being detected? I even have my Razer software program running in the background.

I also have this lesser brand name Delux mouse, which also has two side buttons, but that works perfectly fine?

You should be able to customize the side mouse buttons to anything you want in razor synapse. Mouse button forward, mouse button backward, W key, shift key, anything.

That is interesting&nbsp; - I also have a Razer mouse and have no problem binding Mouse 3 and 4 to a 'gadget' (knife and pistol)...!?!didn't have to change them in 'Synapse'====== EDIT=====Just realised that Knife and Pistol are not gadgets, so I have gone into Edit Key Bindings and had no problem binding Mouse 3 to a GadgetI am on Synapse 2 though (with a viper 8k)

@fpshooterfullYou want to map the buttons to key presses. 2042 won’t give you that, you do that in the mouse software. Let’s say you want to map the pistol and rifle. You want to map the “1” key to your mouse in the mouse software. The 2042 key bindings won’t recognize your mouse buttons, I don’t think most games will recognize the extra mouse buttons at all. Anyways so now in Synapse you’ll map the “2” key to your other button. Now you can switch between them with those 2 buttons. The only thing you need 2024 is to make sure the keybinds you want match up to the ones you program in Synapse. At this point your mouse buttons are now emulating the keystrokes. Hope that helps, I have a G502 with all the binds mapped in the Logitech G software. For gadgets you’d want to map the 3 or 4 key in synapse. Sometimes there is a 5 key as well so you’ll have to make some choices lol.

@fpshooterfullDo you mean that you cannot get battlefield 2042 to recognize them?If I recall you first configure them in razer synapse then and then via the BF menus

Hi, thank you for the response.&nbsp;I do have the Snapse program.Which i always have running in the background. But, i don't see any options where i can customize the side buttons for BF 2042?I already have my side buttons programed to something else when surfing the web etc, in a different profile. But, for BF, i just can't seem to change anything?&nbsp;
