Middle Mouse Button (Mouse 3)

[LuckyLiveOnAir]

Is it possible to change the binding for Middle Mouse Button (Mouse 3) somehow?

Not for Granates but for item menu!

[Pull My Aggro]

I've started using X-Mouse Button Control to swap mouse 4 for mouse 3. It works great and is intuitive as hell to set up.

Thanks Hugin. It's of course ridiculous that in this day and age we still have to resort to these things. Rebindable keys is one of the basic things of PC gaming. Stupid console ports... grrrr

Np, I have made a better version if that would be of any interest.

I am far from any expert, nor am I even an intermediate ahk scripter, but it works.

I can put that up also if the interest is there.

Reason I started with scripts is that I have some issues with hand (i.e. fingers) movements after a long career in construction, and have pinky fingers that is not functioning as they should to reach the keyboard buttons.

That is why I started with a mouse, made macros trough the mouse software, and when I exhausted the possibilities there I went to ahk and never looked back!

Sure, just remember to copy all of it, and then edit if needed in Notepad or in Notepad++:

NO MAN'S SKY MOUSE3 FIX (MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON) (Author: hugin) ==============================================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gives you Mouse3 button trough mapping a Keyboard Key ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
============================================================================================================================================================

1. You need ahk to run the script.
2. Copy and paste all text to Notepad. (All the info you can remove to your likings, if you know what you are doing)
3. Save text file with extension: .ahk (Name it what you want).
4. You can save the file any place you want.
5. Run file as Administrator, righ click, run as Administrator
6. As long the file extension is correct, AHK will run it.
7. You can name it what you want, but this will work also: <NMS Mouse 3 fix.ahk>
8. Thats it, enjoy Mouse 3 in NMS!

If you get issues with the new version, use the old one included, just remove everything in Script Version #02 or disable the code with the < ; >
And enable SCRIPT VERSION #01, with removing the : < ; > in front of: ~RAlt::MButton

NB: Read up on what AHK is and you do this on your own risk, i.e. you need to understand the basic of what this do on your system. 

If you can not get script to work, I am sry, I don't have time to
help you. But you should have some basic knowledge before using a
method like this. Look at the links under for help:

Download AHK here:
https://autohotkey.com/

AHK keylist here:
https://autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm

Script activate Mouse3 Button with <RAlt> Keyboard Button, but you can change that to whatever button you want, see the link over for alternative buttons to use.
You can the change a key on your mouse if you have a fairly advance gaming mouse, so it will work from your mouse also. But that I can not help you with.
That mean: <RAlt> mapped to a available Mouse button.

My issue is that I don't have a scroll wheel or mouse3. I'm on a trackball mouse with m1, m2, m4, and m5. it's weird but most games allow me to rebind it to my mouse4.

I'm using a Corsair Vengence and the holding the button and scrolling trick doesn't work for me :(

Same have to use my xbox controller just to discard something, kinda sucks...

Thanks for the update

Don't bother trying to mess around with the Corsair software either, that also doesn't work. Going to try running the script above.....I really thought this would of been patched by now!

My pleasure, I know how frustrating it can be when keys don't work ;)

I am learning AHK as we go, so this code can most likely be refined even more.
But as long as it work, and you don't do anything with your system and/ or your game files, I find this method the safest way.

The thing is, when using mouse or keyboard altering.exe's to change keys/ mouse buttons I get a bit worried, it might be safe and all, but with using AutoHotkey.exe that is open source and safe in the way you see what kind of script you put in to work, you have full control on what is used on your computer.

That is my approach to it, and it is so flexible also, you can build almost whatever you want with this, to bad you are more or less the only one seeing this in this thread ;)

I'm on a laptop with a touchpad so I have the same problem...

I adore the game but there definitively must be a way to rebind the "mouse 3 button" to a keyboard key, this is really bad port !

I'm on a laptop, a dedicated gaming laptop though, so if using my script with the AutoHotkey app you will have a solution at your hands.

If a bit reluctant to use a 3rd party program, read about what AutoHotkey is, and you will see it is far better and safer than a dedicated 3rd party executable were you have no chance to see what will be running on your system.

And another thing, most gamers today have dedicated keyboards and gaming mouse's with macro, this is basically the same ;)

Just a tip, and I hope this can convince you to test it out and solve your issues :)

@vxzero Are you by any modicum of a chance using a Logitech Trackman?

Nope, I'm using a Kensington Orbit

I got carpel tunnel from a earlier incarnation of that mouse, you might want to consider a new mouse.

Messaggio originale di Djooke:

SAME !! I cannot discard any item from my inventory because I do not have a middle mouse button on my mouse. Can't even play...

Lol what kind of mouse do you have? That's crazy but mind you, I play games like this, GTA, Dark Souls with a controller since that's how they were designed to be played. It's far more comfortable too. Don't get me wrong, I far prefer KB & mouse for most games though, but NMS, no.

Thank you for the advice. I have mine setup so that my wrist never wrests on the desk, that seems to have helped me over the years.

How can a modern game not offer button remapping!!!!! Seriously!!!

[Salasine]

With my mouse, the only way that I could get this to work was to downgrade my version of iCUE software to the one that actually saw my mouse and then re-mapped the middle mouse button key using the iCUE software. I ended up mapping it to one of the numbered keys on the side of the mouse and that seemed to work in game.
(You might be able to try v3.38.88 (For Legacy Devices) that Corsair still offers on their website)

My Mouse: Corsair Scimitar
iCUE Software Version: 3.25.60
