Mouse 4 and mouse 5 keybinds are unable to be mapped, glitched

Mouse 4 and mouse 5 are associated with three options called “activate equipment slot”, “activate equipment slot 1”, and “activate equipment slot 2”, none of which exist in the keybind menu to unassign. This makes the two buttons ineligible to be used to bind functions that I can’t access on the right half of the controller I use to hybrid play (my right hand is on the mouse), mainly reload and melee, as it prioritizes these actions that are the same exact function as “gadget 1” and “gadget 2”, which I completely removed the mouse keybinds from and the issue still persists.

  • Guys, the binds have 2 different slots, the left side is for keyboard and the right is for mouse. Make sure you're binding the mouse to the slot on the right, it will not detect it on the left.

    Of course, if that still doesn't work and you keep having problems with it anyway, then report it.

  • This is still happening, especially during the first 5-10 minutes of a match. It doesn't happen every time, but still often. Mouse 4/5 are bound in the correct side and no other actions are assigned. I have m4 bound to crouch/prone. Instead it'll crouch and pull out my gadget when this bug happens. Really frustrating.

    It can't be on the left side because left side in "keyboard binding" whereas right side is "mouse binding"

    I confirm it is still happening, I am having the same problem. From time to time it decides that mouse 4 or 5 are for swapping to gadget although they were reconfigured and removed from gadget binding. 

    It does not happen every time but when it happens it's infuriating.

  • No idea why they dont allow a combination of both in either slot, insane that this company cant get basic controls right. It still doesnt work in 2026.
