Download Key Mapper. KeyTweak offers a few ways to help remap one keyboard key to another. It has a Full Teach Mode where you click the button to begin and just press the from key and then the key you want to map to, then click the “Remap #1 to #2” button. X-Mouse Button Control is a handy little application that allows its users to configure and modify the buttons on a mouse. The main interface of the program includes a lot of different options, most of which many users would probably not use but all of which extend and improve the capability of a mouse connected to the system.

X-Mouse Button Control is a software solution that allows you to reconfigure the buttons of your mouse. The user interface of the program is based on a standard window in which you can add, edit.

This article or section needs language, wiki syntax or style improvements. See Help:Style for reference.

Reason: style still to fix, unclear sections (Discuss in Talk:Mouse buttons#)

The factual accuracy of this article or section is disputed.

Reason: Configuration depends on the input driver, libinput can be used in Xorg. This article assumes that evdev is used instead, which is no longer the default. (Discuss in Talk:Mouse buttons#)

This article describes how to configure a mouse with more than 3 buttons.

Prerequisites

Note: These are helper comments, and can be ignored if you are looking for nothing but raw information. Due to community feedback, I decided to add a bit more commenting that describes what's going on 'behind the scenes' with this configuration.

We will be using the evdev driver for Xorg. EVentDEVice is an advanced driver for USB input devices which offers much greater power over the standard Xorg mouse driver. It is also more 'direct' than the mouse driver, allowing lower latency and less translation issues.

Note that evdev is both a kernel module and an Xorg input driver. All the Arch kernels come with the evdev module.

With the newer Xorg 11R7.0 it seems only the following changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf need to be made with nothing else needing to be done.

Finding the mouse name

Note: To get accurate information it is sometimes required to execute this command from a boot where no Xorg or mouse drivers have been loaded.

The first step is to find the name of the mouse / mice. To do this, execute the following command:

This should output something like this:

Or this if you have more than one mouse:

The mouse is the one that has the Handlers=mouse0, so the name of the device is Logitech USB Gaming Mouse.

Note: My mouse is a Logitech G5; your mouse is probably different, and therefore the Name will be different.

Copy the name of the device, and open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Configuring Xorg

Now, we need an entry in xorg.conf that tells X how to use this mouse. It should look something like this:

Replace the Name option with the name you copied from above. You may also omit the CorePointer option if you use multiple mice or experience errors when attempting to load Xorg. The other options are all basic mouse configurations for evdev and should work with most mice.

Next, we need to tell X to use the mouse, so look in xorg.conf for ServerLayout.

Modify the ServerLayout section to use 'Evdev Mouse' as the device. When you are done, it should look something like this:

The only thing you should change in the layout is the InputDevice line that refers to your mouse.

That should be all that is required.

This is for Logitech G5 Mouse users. I have not tested this for other mice, but if you do not add this, your mouse MAY not work.If you do not need to add this, then do not.

Put

in the InputDevice section or else the mouse will not be picked up.

[#] = The number you got from:

With the above method, your mouse might not to work after reboot (event number changes). To fix this, you can use symlinks in /dev/input/by-id. For example:

To find the appropriate id, do:

Reason: The udev rule will not work, the SYSFS= and BUS= keys have been removed [1]. (Discuss in Talk:Mouse buttons#)

With a Desktop type keyboard-mouse, this does not work because there is only one USB attachment and /dev/input/by-id contains only the keyboard.In this case, we can create a udev rule to get a consistent link.The following rules create the link /dev/input/usbmouse which points on the correct event entry:

You can call it z10_usb_mouse.rules and put it in /etc/udev/rules.d

The cryptic value to use for SYSFS(modalias) can be gotten in the following way:

enter the command cat /proc/bus/input/devices

You will find the keyboard and the mouse and see event4 is the mouse in this case:

So I enter the following command (adapt event # to your particular case):

grab the ATTRS which becomes with usb: to complete 'SYSFS{modalias} ' entry

And finally, use usbmouse as the Device Option in xorg.conf:

Post Configuration

Google Chrome

It works. Horizontal scroll works out of the box - push the scroll wheel left or right. Thumb buttons also work as next/previous page.

Opera

It works. Note: buttons can be mapped to functions easily in Preferences > Advanced > Shortcuts > Mouse set-up. For example, to bind button 8 to back:

Navigate to mouse set-up and expand the Application drop-down
In the input column, type: Button 8
In the actions column, type: Back

Firefox

Horizontal scroll

To get back and forward enabled, instead of scroll left/right, change the following settings in about:config:

Thumb Buttons - forward and back

Note: The following maybe redundant depending on whether xev detects all your mouse buttons correctly (functions can be mapped on a per-app basis) or you want to change the default behaviour.

To do this we need to map keystrokes to the desired mouse buttons and install xvkbd^AUR and xbindkeys.

In most modern applications which use back/forward features, XF86Back is mapped to back and XF86Forward is mapped to forward by default. On most MX mice the thumb buttons resolve to 8 & 9. If your mouse is different, check button numbers using xev and replace the numbers used in the example (b:8 & b:9).

So if you have an MX mouse you would create the file ~/.xbindkeysrc, containing:

Now to test... Run the following command and if it works as expected remember to add xbindkeys to .xinitrc or somewhere where it will be executed each time X starts. Also, this should work with Epiphany and Konqueror without any additional configuration or use of IMWheel.

Since xvkbd is not available from the official repositories here’s another example using xte from the xautomation package

The above info and more help may be found in the MX1000 Buttons wiki.

xmodmap tweaking

Note: None of the below is necessary with evdev, but it's here for non-evdev users. Unless something does not work on your mouse, ignore this whole section!

It may prove to be more comfortable for some to change the ordering of button codes, as the case may be for left-handed people. Depending on
