Ah, okay, I see. So the switchover I'm going to attempt would be useful then.

Are you thinking you can rewire the buttons up so a remapable one is in a usable place?

In the case of Dead Space 2, is it that in-game the settings don't let you assign movement to the mouse buttons? Sorry to ask again, but my memory is terrible. >.<

i can't assign any action to the 2 extra buttons on top.

Yep. Basically swapping the connections of the side ones with the top ones.

have you looked inside it?

You know, I wonder if someone could mod a razer naga, to make all the side buttons on the top.

Sure you'd have to pay for them to do it, but it should be possible by a modding company, right?

Not yet mate, got swamped at work today. Will hopefully be making a start on it tomorrow. I'm hoping it will just be a quick wire-swap, but I guess I will have to find out.

ok mate

thanks.

if it can't be done . can anyone/ocuk try to find a mouse with atleast 5+ actually buttons on top and similar size to a laptop mouse? and to get ocuk to stock more products like this

This one has a lot of buttons but they might be too small for chin-control

looks good, but no left , right buttons, also are the buttons preset to office tasks?

ok i'll go bed now. let's see what tomorrow brings.

Neolink · 7 Feb 2011 at 23:50

Yeah I just noticed the lack of proper left and right buttons

, the rest of them look programmable to whatever you want though, but I bet there is a better choice out there anyway though

gareth170 · 7 Feb 2011 at 23:55

one last thing i go bed

i think ea knows that they need to patch it and i get the feeling they want to add it in patch #2.

grudas · 7 Feb 2011 at 23:56

well good luck with it!

seems to get a lot of attention.. and i bet EA does not want it in this situation

Edit - signed it too

DJMK4 · 7 Feb 2011 at 23:56

Will be signing the petition tomorrow. Very inspiring and always Here to help ocuk family

Rameses · 8 Feb 2011 at 00:01

That eye motion looked very clever tech, and the dude was playing FM :cool:

one of my favs!

Anyway Gareth, I'd reply politely as already suggested but damn dude I'd love for ya to receive free swag from them regardless, as long as they're committed to actually looking into it and not fobbing off as others have said.

Stinky · 8 Feb 2011 at 00:01

Also, kudos to Chuck for being remarkably understanding despite nearly all the gaming news sites referring to his petition as being started by Gareth.

I'm glad to see the PC community getting involved. I've been doing the petition for 1 year and the PC community hasn't really jumped in. so it's good to see.

Me and Gareth will need to have a cripple fight over this petition </south park reference >
