From that moment it sends that key everywhere in Windows — the browser, the editor, the game. ## All five, including the two by your thumb Left, right, the wheel, and the Back and Forward buttons on the side. Those last two are the ones most remappers miss: Windows gives them both the same message and they have to be told apart deliberately, which the previous version of this app never did correctly. ## A whole shortcut, not just a key Hold Ctrl, Shift or Alt while you choose, and that is what the button sends from then on. The modifiers go down in order and come back up in reverse, so a real Ctrl+C arrives rather than a C near a Ctrl. ## It can still click Keep the original and the button does both jobs at once — the click it always did, plus the key you gave it. This matters most on left click, where taking the button away also takes away the click that would undo it. The app defaults to keeping it and says so plainly if you turn that off. ## Games see it Keys are sent as scancodes with the extended-key flag set where it belongs, which is what DirectInput and Raw Input actually read. A remapper built on virtual keys is invisible to most games. Games running kernel-level anti-cheat reject simulated input of any kind, and no remapper gets past that one. ## Always a way back Press Escape five times and every button goes back to itself. It is a keyboard shortcut on purpose: if a rule has taken the pointer, the keyboard is what you have left. ## If a side button does nothing Check your mouse's own software first. Most of it binds Back and Forward to keyboard shortcuts before Windows ever sees them as buttons, and no remapper can reach them until that is switched off. ## Upgrading Mappings from the previous version are carried across the first time it opens. It works fully offline and needs no account. No ads, and nothing held back behind an unlock. An optional EvlarSoft ONE sign-in backs up your settings to carry them to another PC, and feedback is sent only when you press Send. Built for Windows 11, and at home on Windows 10. ## Features - Make any mouse button send a key, or a whole shortcut - All five buttons, including the Back and Forward ones by your thumb - Or make a button do nothing, for a middle click you keep hitting - Keep the original as well, so the button clicks and sends a key - Choose the button by clicking it on a drawing of your mouse - Press the key you want to send instead of finding it in a list - Keys are sent as scancodes, so games and emulators see them - See where the key lands on a keyboard before you commit to it - Warns before a rule takes left click away, and tells you the way out - Escape five times switches everything off, from the keyboard - Sits in the tray and stays out of the way while it works - Works fully offline and needs no account.
