Some reason I cannot use a side button (Mouse Button 4 to be exact) if left or right click is being held. How can I allow both to be held at the same time?
The left click always overrides the side button. Even if I clicked side first. (It disables the side if I click left)
I want to do this so that way I can quick melee/puch without letting go of left click. (For Overwatch)

I tried using X-Mouse Button Control. (It lets you change what buttons do and it highlights what it sees what you are clicking) It showed that if I held left click then it does not register my side button clicks.

Anyone know how I can let them both be clicked/held at the same time?

Some reason this does not happen to Mouse Button 5. (if that is important to know)

Thanks!

My mouse is a Magic Eagle:

What happens if you left or right click while you are holding down button 4?
It looks like some (likely cheap) keyboards, some combinations simply don't work. Or maybe it happens on all keyboards, I don't know.

If I left click when I hold button 4 it disables holding 4 and turns on left button

if I right click when I hold button 4 then it does both.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think the issue is your mouse.

It's not a Windows limitation. I have a Logitech G502 and I can do all the things you said your current mouse cannot, therefore the issue seems to be your mouse. For whatever reason (inexpensive components, really), it does not support having those buttons pressed at the same time - like a keyboard without N-key rollover.

So there is no way to change the settings of my mouse? I have been looking for a "disable override" or something like that.
I tried looking for customer support for it but I could not find any.

I think it's a hardware limitation, as opposed to a setting. The circuitry can't process the simultaneous inputs.

Huh OK thanks. Do you think it possible to swap what one overrides the other? I'll try to see if I can make x-mouse disable left click if side is clicked.

I swapped what computer it was on to make sure it is the mouse that is the issue. It was the mouse. I will use this one now... :)

They do not need that button.
Edit: I know where I got it from so I think i'll get a replacement
Thanks for helping me!

I don't think so. That would require disassembling, un-soldering, re-soldering, hoping for the best and getting lucky. I'm afraid you may have to just get a new mouse.
