[Keybindings] Extra Mouse Buttons

MrBuffington··1 votes·2,899 views

Heyo,

So I recently bought a new mouse with two extra mouse buttons (nothing super high-end, but since I was using a stock mouse before, it's an improvement(http://smile.amazon.com/Etekcity%C2%AE-Optical-Programmable-Buttons-Switches/dp/B00F3L19KQ/ref=sr_1_14?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1409423927&sr=1-14&keywords=wired+mouse)). I'm wondering, though, if y'all had any good ideas about what functions I should bind to them. I already have one for pings, which is pretty necessary imo, but the other one I've been experimenting with various things (center camera, attack move, item slot 7, etc.) but haven't really settled on something that I use/would use better as a mouse button vs. a key. Attack move seems to be the most promising, but since it's a thumb button, and I use my thumb to control my mouse (in addition to never using attack move previously), I haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet.

I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for bindings you could share. Thanks!

I bought a gaming mouse for the first time when I built my new computer. It has six additional buttons on the left side, but I couldn't think of anything to put there either.

I have my summoner spells on it currently - but so far the only times I've cast summoner spells from it have been a mistake. :\ So I wouldn't recommend that. Maybe item slots? Might make DFG, zhonya's, Youmuu's, BORK etc easier to cast once you get used to it.

Yea, I moved pings to one of the buttons since I would accidentally flash when reaching for the G key on occasion. I kind of want to get better at using attack move, but I was also considering moving item slot 7 to that button, since I usually will never reach the key, and I can use it to place wards or something; but I typically don't have more than 3 activatable items, and I can use item slot 5 okay for wards (I usually only have trouble when playing support and I have like, FotM, Randuins, Locket).

Pings and Item actives are usually your best use for mouse macros

Personally though, I have emotes binded to my mouse keys.

Bind one of them to what N3ac3y likes to call the "+ELO button" Basically bind it to "/mute all" and use it at the start of every ranked game and watch your LP sky-rocket! I use this myself and it's very useful.
