    This question was asked over a year ago and yet no reply.  DOES ACER EVEN MONITOR THIER OWN FORUM????? 

     

    I have the same question.  Seems pretty simple.  Is there software or instructions on how to program the mouse buttons for a Predator Mouse that came with my AG6-710?

     

    Pretty lame support if you ask me.  Buy a mouse from Logitech or Microsoft....  Get the software.   Buy an $1700 computer from Acer.  Ask a simple question.   Nada.  Zip. Bupcus.  Tried searching many times on Google.  Nothing.  Tried to find out how to email Acer.  Ridiculous. 

     

    BUYER BEWARE!!!! Shame that motto is still relevant. 

     

    Come Acer.  Pony up.  Answer some questions on YOUR forum.

    Yeah I was talking with customer service for 2 hours and got asked the most ridiculous irrelevant questions, for example did my mouse have lights? did I try to plug in and unplug the mouse? I dont think they even know what they are talking about thats probably why no one is answering. I can not fathom how they trained thier support cause it is a sad day when they cant realize the difference between a software issue and a hardware issue. Good luck finding the software, if your mouse is like mine (not part of the steel series) youre screwed I also tried using x-mouse button program and only one button will register.

    So, I think you need to go to go.acer.com/quartermaster and install that software to program your mouse.
    In the middle of doing it now.

    I use AutoHotKey to reprogram my mouse buttons.  It's an easy to learn, simplified programming language for beginners.  The two side buttons will be recognized as XButton1 and XButton2, look under the hotkey section to learn to program them. 

    You can find it here, https://www.autohotkey.com/

    Here are a couple of examples of how easy it is.

    Have the first button act like the left arrow key.
    XButton1::
    Send, {Left}
    Return

    Have the second button run a program.
    XButton2::
    Run, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
    Return

    Hold down the first button to change the function of the wheel.  In this example, turn the computer volume up.
    XButton1 & WheelUp::
    SoundSet, +5
    Return

    I use AutoHotKey for a lot of automation so I don't need to run a separate program from each manufacturer of what ever I need to automate.
