| Sep 9, 2020 at 18:53 | comment | added | Allan | It stopped working because it's an unsupported device. ControllerMate (I use it extensively) and BTT (not as experienced, but familiar) can't magically create compatibility in a device that doesn't have any. You have a specialized mouse, but macOS sees it as a standard 3 or 5 button mouse and without a proper driver no application is going to circumvent that limitation. | |

@Allan you're right, though I have some solutions they all are far from perfect and I will be happy to hear about better ways of setting this up. Maybe there are better places to ask about this matter but really know just about this one. Right after posting this comment couple of bindings made via BetterTouchTool just stopped working again. That's what I'm talking about.
