    Hi!
    I used to be able to play PA with no problem, but PA doesnt seem to detect the scroll wheel click on my new mouse. thats a bummer. I would like to remap it to a side button also. Is it possible? i tried to look in the camera menu but i havent found a relevant option yet.

    Grrrr i still have issues.... i found a temporary solution by tying a macro that triggers the middle mouse button click to my scroll wheel but its not very responsive, and some times it takes me several tries before i can actually "grab" the planet and turn it.
    How do i remap the mouse controls? Also, i would like to tie "go to the next planet" to one of my thumb buttons, how can i do it?
    Thx in advance.

    Unfortunately you can't in PA itself. The only way to do it is with the software that comes with the mouse and bind a mouse button to a key press. Some software allows you to make application-specific profiles even. It sounds like the software you are using is rather slow for some reason though? What are you using?

    I'm using Microsoft mouse & keyboard center, because it's got a good compatibility with all my hardware.
    I can indeed make a PA specific profile that ties the side buttons to the keys i tied to planet switches but that doesnt solve the problem of the middle button click. I tried to tie the middle button cick to my right button for a test and it was no easier to turn the planet, so its no my midle button that is defective.

    I want to thank the devs for making so many controls remappable, but I wish they could add the mouse controls to the list :( because heh I bought a shiny new mouse only to find out its was less supported than my 8$ piece of plastic.
