ClickyMouse supports the standard five mouse buttons of left, middle, right, X1 and X2. To assign one mouse button, first you have to create a simple macro. Press Add Macro, go to the Macro Triggers tab, select an event such as “Mouse button click” and which button triggers the event from the dropdown. X-Mouse Button Control is a handy little application that allows its users to configure and modify the buttons on a mouse. The main interface of the program includes a lot of different options, most of which many users would probably not use but all of which extend and improve the capability of a mouse connected to the system.

Add Extra Key Functions to your X-Arcade on PC and for MAME

OPTION 1:

MacroGamer allows you to record your keyboard and mouse inputs that you can easily assign to a Hotkey to execute them on demand. Here's a video to show how it works. Be sure to run as administrator or it won't save your macros.

OPTION 2:

You can use AutoHotkey to not only software reprogram your X-Arcade keys on PC, but also to make macros (a button/key combination that does other functions or makes a string of keys get pressed in order).

NOTE: In order for this to work in MAME you will need to enable DirectInput support. To do so open your mame.ini file found in either the main MAME folder or ini subfolder, under OSD INPUT OPTIONS change 'keyboardprovider' from 'auto' to 'dinput' so it looks like:

keyboardprovider dinput

If you want to add extra key functions to the X-Arcade on PC download X-Hotkeys program. It makes older model X-Arcade controllers Player 1 Joystick act like arrow keys (instead of Numpad Keys), adds these popular pinball functions, and it adds the following useful functions:

2P Start + 1P Start = Enter (starts a game from MAME menu)

2P Start + Right Pinball Button = Escape (exits MAME games)

2P Start + Button 3 = P (pauses MAME games)

2P Start + Joy1 Up = Raise System Volume

2P Start + Joy1 Down = Lower System Volume

Mouse Button 3 = Escape (exits MAME games) - Works for newer Tanksticks with the red-lit exit button. If you want to add this button to your Tankstick for Exit just use the Orange wire from the trackball (see Trackball Wiring on this page).

If you want to add even more alternate functions, simply make your own config file using the instructions included with AutoHotkey. Here is our custom config file that you can modify to add functions.

These are all third-party programs and applications, we do not support them.

Macros

You can also use AutoHotKey to make macros for complex moves, such as those used in fighting game like Street Fighter. Here are a couple of samples for Street Fighter 4 you can use and customize to your liking or for other characters:

Button 7 + FP = Ultra to Left

Button 8 + FP = Ultra to Right

Button 7 + MP = Super to Left

Examples

This page describes how to configure Ubuntu to fully utilize a mouse with multiple buttons, wheels, and other controls.

It's important to note that Ubuntu considers a standard two button, scroll/click-wheel mouse to have five buttons. Each main button (left and right) count as one, the downward click on the wheel counts as another, and the up/down scrolling also count as one each (2+1+2=5).

If you have installed the GNOME environment (default for Ubuntu) you already have the software needed to get the '6th' and '7th' mouse buttons working (forward/backward on most mice)!

Note that xorg X Input system cannot bind a combination of more than one mouse button to a certain action. For example, it is not possible to bind left-clicking while simultaneously scrolling up to a specific action. So the rule of thumb is one button for one action, unless the button is combined with the keyboard modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Super,..)

Some pointing devices have a strange button mapping, so need some tweaking to match X's perception of things. Such tweaking can be performed at runtime with xinput - find your device in xinput list and run xinput set-button-map <device name> 1 2 3 6 7, replacing those numbers with your required button mapping. You might be able to find it by searching for other people with the same hardware, or you might need to play around and see what works. To find the mappings currently applied, you can use xinput test <id>, where <id> is your device's id number found with xinput list.

The key to being able to program mouse buttons beyond the seven already discussed is to install imwheel (from the Universe repository). Imwheel will enable you to define application-specific actions to your additional mouse buttons.

Download and install imwheel using Synaptic, Adept, or apt-get
Modify your /etc/X11/imwheel/imwheelrc or ~/.imwheelrc file to tell imwheel what to do with a mouse click when it happens in a particular application. See the Wikis referenced below for details on what you can do with your imwheelrc or .imwheelrc file. NOTE: You can use modifications to the ~/.imwheelrc to limit imwheel behavior to specific users on your system.
Finally, if desired, tell X11 to run imwheel whenever X11 is started (modifying /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60imwheel_start-imwheel and changing IMWHEEL_START=0 to =1 in /etc/X11/imwheel/startup.conf). Alternately, you can start imwheel manually.

Before You Proceed

Before any further editing to xorg.conf or .imwheelrc, it might be helpful to check your mouse button mappings.

Run imwheel -c from a terminal window for imwheel's graphical UI. Pressing the GrabWheelAction button and then one of your mouse's buttons should cause imwheel to show the button's default mapping. In practice, this seemed somewhat inconsistent, but results may differ depending on your particular mouse.

The information you glean from this test could prove helpful if your mouse doesn't have traditional button mappings. If, for example, your side mouse buttons map to the standard left and right (1 and 2) positions, and you wanted these side buttons to control Firefox's Back and Forward buttons, you would use the following .imwheelrc entry for Firefox.

Frequently, the best way to learn is to look at what works for other people. Here are some examples of working imwheelrc files. Compare these to your own to help you troubleshoot and test out new configurations.

Here is an example of what a portion of my .imwheelrc looks like:

If you'd like to customize your mouse buttons for additional applications, just add more entries like this to the imwheelrc file.
