    Does anyone use those 2 little gaming buttons on the left side? How do you configure them?

    I believe you can set them to do certain things in a game, such as switch weapon. Go into a game and then configure the controls. When it asks you which button you want to assign, click one of those buttons and see if that works.

    You actually have to install the tool/driver that handles the buttons first, as far as I know. I've tried binding them without it installed and nothing happens.

    I installed the ap-key driver and there's an icon on my desktop that brings up the 2 game keys but I can't do anything with them and none of my games picks up the button presses.
