Can i script for the 2 side mouse buttons

I need to buy a new mouse and want to know if i can use the 2 extra buttons on the side of the mouse probably buttons 3 and 4, as i do not have these buttons at the moment i have no way of testing if i can code for these, i think the buttons are used for forward and backwards pages when using the internet but can i use something like
(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(3)) and (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(4))

i have had a search but can only find some old posts from a few years back saying they can not be used, but have these now been implemented in unity, as i would be pretty suprised if not seeing as most gaming mice will have these button

cheers

 

You could use virtual buttons with the InputManager.

Code (csharp):

1. // Instead of this
2. //Input.GetMouseButtonDown(3)
3. // Use this
4. Input.GetButtonDown("Fire3")

You could then change the binding for Fire3 to your mouse buttons. For testing, you could bind to Q or some other key, and then change it to mouse2 when you get your new mouse.

 

There has to be some Unity recognized input.

The input manager may help (Edit -> Project Settings -> Input) but not if you don't know what the input is called.

Try this in your update function

Code (CSharp):

1. for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
2.         {
3.             if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(i))
4.                 Debug.Log(i);
5.         }

and click away!! see what happens lmao




EDIT: I just tested this in my game and I don't get any console errors as long as I set i<7. That means there are definitely more recognized mouse inputs than 0, 1, & 2.

 

You have mouse 0-6, its listed here https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html

 

Thanks. I looked through the document and found what I was looking for. I used "Mouse3" to get my mouse side button to work. I wrote the code like this:

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse3))
{
//Do something.
}

 

unity new input system support for mice with more than 5 buttons ?
The old input system had support for mice with up to 7 buttons; KeyCode went from Mouse0 to Mouse6. The new input system, however, has

leftButton rightButton middleButton forwardButton backButton Only 5 buttons. Can we get support for many-buttoned mice like this one?https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...Play-Mice/scimitar-pro-config/p/CH-9304011-NA
