Assigning mouse buttons in games...help please!

I just got a Microsoft/Razer Habu laser gaming mouse and I absolutely love it. But I cant configure all the buttons how I like in say World of Warcraft...its not just with this mouse it seems I have had this problem with all mice I have tried.

My mouse has 7 configurable buttons. The 2 on the side of the mouse configure in game just dandy...its the 2 buttons on top that are normally reserved for DPI switching (up and down) that wont bind to a key.

WHat I want to do is just set the DPI to one setting...when I get in my game I want to assign those DPI buttons to other things...but it just wont let me. Its like the game doesnt recognize those 2 buttons as configurable options.

I have tried going into the mouse software and changing the default functions of those buttons and that works fine...but when I get back in my game i still cant configure them.

Its wierd that I can configure the side buttons just fine...but not the top ones.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

 

Not wierd at all. When a mouse button is assigned to something specific (adjust dpi) in your driver/mouse software, it probably has some sort of command assigned to it. When you try to assign that button to something in the game, you press the button and it runs the command. I have some two of my mouse buttons assigned to Alt-F4 and Ctrl-F4, but if I were to try and bind them to something in a game, the first would close the game and the second would only register as "Ctrl". So, unfortunately, you're probably stuck.
