EPTAnother question is how do you do it? Is it even possible? I tried to change the settings in the options tab in SC2 and I was unable to.

Edit: Clarity: What he's saying (if I'm understanding) is he wants to bind control groups to his mouse keys instead of 0-9. That's not a macro, it'd be like if I bound my control groups to qwerty...etc. | ||

it's simply rebinding your keys. one button press will still be one action | ||

Perhaps using something like joy2key would be what you are looking for, however i'm not sure how it would deal with a multi button mouse like the mamba... j2k normally is used to bind a joystick to keys for playing guitar hero or whatever on your PC, but you can bind any key to any other key essentially. You should be able to bind 1-9 to mouse buttons with it. There are probably easier ways, but this was the first thing that came to mind | ||

As for the Op i think if you run the software that you installed from Razer for the Mamba you have you can change whatever key on that mouse to whatever command you wish it to issue when you click it, At least that's the case with my Logitech G5  . | ||

For the people recommending I use the Razer Mamba software I tried that and there wasn't any option to just switch two key bindings, it was all macros and I didn't want to bother with that. | ||

One press, one action = OK. Nothing wrong with having the key be on your mouse or a clapper or whatever. Otherwise, it's totally cheating to use macros, so obviously you shouldn't do it. APM is intended to be a limiting resource in SC2. | ||

For example, if pressing a side mouse button selects a queen and then tells it to inject larva, that is illegal. But simply assigning a side mouse button to 0 or 9 is perfectly legal. 1 button = 1 command = legal 1 button = 2+ commands = illegal | ||

I wonder why blizzard didn't implement any sort of re-binding system (WoW had it :\) | ||

If the side-button only sends the #4, then it's perfectly fine. If it sends 4s that's cheating. There's no reason players can't configure their inputs in a way that's convenient, as long as they aren't using a program to add inputs that the player doesn't have to execute. | ||

You can use them for something like upgrades structures, however i would highly recommend sticking to keyboard, as you never know when you might have software problems, cant install anything on tourney computers etc. | ||

I have been doing the same thing - using a program to have my mouse buttons register as keyboard presses. My concern is that, theoretically, if I ever wanted to go play in a tournament I'd be screwed because the way I'm currently accomplishing this is via a third party program. I've seen Razer mouses advertise "Synapse On-board Memory" - would these carry these switched keybindings around with them so that, for instance, if I just plugged the mouse into a new computer, they'd retain the keybinds? Or should I, for consistency's sake, force myself to relearn the default hotkey setup without using mouse binds? | ||

I attempted to make a macro when the mineral bug existed, but stopped when I found out I could be banned for it. | ||
