Not all mice have middle mouse buttons

[Dorque]

Is there a way to remap the mouse buttons? The very first thing in the game requires a middle-mouse-button-drag. Which I can't do. So can I remap the mouse buttons or do I have to return the game?

I don't remember needing a middle mouse button drag. I'm sure you can skip past that requirement and proceed with the tutorial anyway.

My own middle mouse button has a scroll wheel on it, and it is ludicrous to expect me to be able to press that button while moving the mouse, and at the same time not scroll the wheel. So I never use the button feature for anything. (Linux wants me to use it for copying text. Ha! Silly Linux...)

I recently did the tutorial, and I dont remember any middle mouse button drag... What is the intent?

A minor concern, but a good gaming mouse will fix this. I have used logitech mice and corsair mice (never buy a corsair mouse!!!) and they have really nice, tactile mousewheels that function perfectly as thier own button.

On cheapo office mice it can be fairly difficult to just press one though.

The middle mouse button drag is used for moving the camera, but really, most people probably just move their mouse pointer to the edge of the screen, like every RTS ever has conditioned us to do.

Nope...
Last time I moved mouse pointer to the edge of the screen was when I played Command & Conquer on DOS PC. 8)
Satellite Reign is much convenient when you drag the screen with a mouse button.

Hmm. I use a $12 mofi mouse because the scroll wheel does not scroll when I press it down as the MMB unless I specifically want it ito.

Devs should consider re-appropriating one of the meta keys (ie: shift, super/win, leftalt) to activate camera panning mode. When the mouse is moved near the edge of the screen while the meta key is held, the camera would pan in that direction. It would help people who are playing on touchpads or lack decent mice.

I just use my arrow keys to move my camera around. So much easier.

All keys should be rebindable to any keyboard button or any mouse button in every PC game, period.
No questions, no excuses.
It's really annoying when devs don't do this.

Yes.
