Keybinding to changes active mouse binding?

I am all for freedom of choice when it comes to customize your Hotkeys.
Im a bit "weird" since I never use wasd , always the arrow buttons and numpad + ins - del section and f5-f12.(so qwert + 1234... is a no go for me if not customizable)
My solution was a programable gaming mouse and even a keyboard lately.
I am very surprised that it does not seem to be many people that uses them?
I could not live without my mouse , in POE I got 6 skills bound to my mouse.Can easilly make macro´s if I wanted too , but no need yet(ofc curses and future buffs will be easier to cast with macro´s)
Anyway , cant be the cost since you can get a good gaming mouse for less than 30 Euro . Using a X7 /oscar mouse editor myself. Highly recommended.
Of cause there are more expensive gaming mouse in the market but very good low price alternative ones have come out last years.
Anyway , a tip for thoose who want complete freedom regardless of wasd/qwert or whatever..
Make sure that the mouse got an onboard memory + comes with a macro software.
Cheers ,

I'm not at all opposed to it being an option for those who want to play that way, although I think we have much more important things to get implemented first.

Well, the UI ergonomics is always a matter of personal preference and habit. Heck, some are still playing d2 with the default mapping (F1...12) which other players would find grossly inefficient.

So i guess we should just expect someone to make a mod. And I bet people would eventually complain that such a mod puts its users at an unfair advantage in PvP because it's more efficient :D



Since the other thread existed for quite a while now, i posted an elaboration there - LINK

And here I thought this would be a thread about allowing us to replace the mouse hotkeys with a key hotkeys.

DOWN WITH THE MIDDLE MOUSE KEY!

DOWN WITH THE MIDDLE MOUSE KEY!

Heh, middle button is a very bad idea all by itself, because different mice have different arrangement for this function -- sometimes it's either clunky mousewheel acting as middle button, or even no such function whatsoever. It's just poor design to make players rely on middle clicks.

My mouse is fantastic, with the sole exception of the middle mouse key. It is built to wiggle to the side, which makes pressing using it for a fast action incredibly annoying.

I have two fantastic side mouse button. Why is I not allowed to use them? :(

Oh, i thought you meant normal buttons. Side buttons shouldn't be employed (or just optional), really. Left and Right buttons are more than enough.
It's annoying not being able to quickly select skills for my mouse buttons, especially my left mouse button. I like to cast my AoE with my right button, and I have two elemental melee attacks that I would like to alternate on my left mouse button, along with normal attack (when im low on mana). Instead, I'm stuck with normal attack on left mouse button because there's no quick way to swap them.

It takes longer, and gives you no more control, since in both you have to be just as accurate with the mouse.

Why any fps employ such system then?
Why ppl are forced to push sone hotkey to map certain weapon to mouse button then fire it?
Would it be faster to use them from key directly?

Well it might by slightly faster (0.05-0.1 sec if not less) but it will be not accurate at all because you have to harmonize aiming by one hand and executing by other.

If you have any kind of fps on your pc remap your attack to keyboard and try to kill something with only one weapon.
Them imagine how it would work with weapon switching by key.

if not try quakelive.com

I just tried and I couldn't target bot on easiest difficuly by shaft.

I think the comparison to Quake is a little disingenuous. You've picked a game that is both perfect for your case and also completely and utterly different from PoE.

And even in your Quake example, if you kept at it, you'd get used to it. Seriously guys, if anyone is having trouble with it right now, it will probably pass (if the D2 option is not given).

My main problem is not being able to assign other mouse buttons as the other 5 hotkeys.

It probably is partly what I am used to, but I find it very awkward to aim with the mouse and attack with a keyboard key.

I also agree that middle mouse button being a default unchangeable key is bad design because I hate using middle mouse button for anything.

Definitely agree here. I would love to change that middle mouse binding to my thumb key. The scroll wheel is completely useless as a button ><
