Can't bind mouse buttons in SC2 (Logitech MX518)

Heya, I have a problem. When I try to assign hotkeys in SC2 to my special mouse buttons (Mouse3, Mouse4, scroll wheel, any button) the game doesn't register it. I am using the latest version of Logitech Gaming Software.

As a work-around, I have tried creating a specific profile for C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\STARCRAFT II\STARCRAFT II.EXE, where I bind for example Mouse3 -> F12, and set F12 as hotkey for inject in SC2. Does not work. However, if I set Mouse3 -> F12 as a bind in the global profile in the mouse software (not just SC2) it works, but naturally I don't want this as a global bind.

Troubleshooting: have tried rebooting, running both the mouse software and SC2 as administrator.

What can I do to fix this?

Im using a logitech mouse. I just set the extra buttons to keys like [ using the logitech software then keybinded those to the abilities i wanted in SC2. Also you shouldn't keybind stuff to your scroll wheel, its sort of cheating.

Yes, this is the workaround I tried. It works when I change the standard settings (to "[" for example) in the logitech software, but for some reason it doesn't work when I make a profile for SC2 and bind it to that key there. Needless to day, I don't want this change to apply for other programs outside of SC2.

Don't setpoint drivers allow you to have different settings for games? I never use it myself but i suppose it's exactly what you're needing.
