Default Assign shortcuts to mouse

Hi,

I was thinking of buying a gaming mouse (or something similar) that has multiple buttons on it, like the razor one, and assign shortcuts to it, like on system preferences --> keyboard. I know there are softwares that "converts" inputs from any device, like this on for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSu7iv_qj9k.

I've done that a couple of months ago with nuendo and a gaming controller. is it possible to do that on pro tools too with a mouse?

Default Re: Assign shortcuts to mouse

I have the Logitech G700s Gaming Mouse with programmable button.
With its gaming-software, you can assign any ctrl/shift/...+whatever to it.
One can assign multiple profiles with respectively different shortcuts, e.g. profile "Pro Tools", "Browsing", ... .

I have used an MX518 mouse for many years

and I have a profile in the mouse driver for PT and using trim and fade from the mouse is now second nature

do you mean this one? (wireless version)

https://www.amazon.it/Logitech-ricar...pt=INPUT_MOUSE

that's kinda expensive, I wonder if there are any cheaper versions. anyway, good to know it's possible to do that. so you are using that with pro tools and it works fine with all the shortcuts?

My Logitech 700 is legacy. Works 100%. Whatever shortcut can be programmed.
I would look for a mouse with a lot of programmable buttons, at least 8.
