I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this as I am a first time poster, so please bear with me if I am incorrect.

My problem is that I cannot for the love of me find the "Generic Button" option in the Logitech Control Center. I don't think that this option even exists on a Mac for some reason :/.

I wish to use my 4th and 5th buttons in a computer game. To do this, I apparently must bind them in the Logitech Control Center as "Generic Button(s)", and I cannot find this function. If I bind them as nothing, then they do absolutely nothing and I cannot even bind them in game.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong / if there is a fix to my problem / another way to approach this? If so, please help. I am incredibly frustrated at the moment

Welcome to the Forum. Have you tried downloading the latest software from Logitech for that mouse and your model of Mac OS?

Thank you, and yes I have. I clicked Software Update after being unable to do anything, and all my Mac stuff was up to date. As for the Logitech Software, I downloaded it earlier today from the Logitech site when I bought my mouse, so I don't see how it could be out of date either.

Did you look in the Logitech Control Center ? It should be listed in system preferences under other.

Any chance that setting is not under "Global settings"

Global settings only means that what I change there is applied to anything I do with my mouse. For example, I could change it to Safari and have the functions I want only for Safari. There are no more options if I change it though.

Thanks for the help and concern everyone. I have resolved the problem. I'm buying a Razer DeathAdder.

The last time I used it the program worked well for that kind of stuff.
