SKSE and the Middle Mouse Button

[Warrenicus]

Does anyone else find that if you load Skyrim and some other other games, using the SKSE exec, that the middle mouse button no longer works? I used to think it was my old PC causing problems but it happens now on my new one as well.

Middle mouse button works on my system with SKSE.
But I don't understand your separation of SKSE execution and Skyrim. My SKSE Shortcut automatically starts Skyrim when I press it, and only Skyrim.

SKSE Readme tells you to ......

Launch the game via running skse_loader.exe. .If you use a desktop shortcut to launch Skyrim normally, just update the shortcut to point to skse_loader.exe instead of TESV.exe or SkyrimLauncher.exe.

.......If you use the 'skse_loader' exec then the middle button doesn't work but if you enter using either of the other two execs, that button will work but any mod using SKSE doesn't. That leaves me with the choice of using either the mod or the middle button. No way have I ever been able to use both.

i never used the middle mouse button ingame... what does it do?

the only game skse will launch is skyrim for one thing , and has no effect on the controls , check your options and see if it's (mid mouse button ) is still set to whatever action you had it set to . and it could be old mouse/ computer glitch , even dirt affecting the button

You can program it to do whatever you want it to do. On the desktop I usually have it set as 'ENTER' but in most games I find setting it as 'E' to be most useful.

Thanks for the suggestion but I am way, WAY beyond that level of simple error fixing.

I'm having a problem with Skyrim and Mouse buttons 4 & 5. Was working fine using logitech control panel to tell button 4 and 5 what keys to replace to get them to work for Skyrim and now it doesn't. Utterly baffeling. I have googled this up the ying-yang. Any suggestions besides re-install Skyrim and go through my mods one by one? I know the mouse buttons work because they work in other games and in word docs, etc.

The mouse buttons 3,4, and 5 work fine for me. Have you tried using a different mouse?

I've recently located another cause that effects my system. The middle button will not work for me with any game I have listed in the Nividia Games list

I have the middle mouse button issue as well. After playing Skyrim with skse the click function just stops working entirely. Very annoying because I mostly use it when browsing and I've not yet found a way to get it working again.

A very last resort method that does always work is to restore your PC from a backup taken when you know your M-M-button did definitely work. I know it's a nuisance to do but it does solve the problem.

After uninstalling/ installing drivers and switching usb ports a couple of times it randomly started working again. Ill just stay away from skse for now I guess
