How do i change the 2 side buttons on my mouse(logitech MX518) to go back/forward in firefox? i tried installing the logitech control centre for mac but it keeps coming up with an error telling me it cant install...
i followed the instructions in another post in these forums with no avail.
2011 15" MBP.
Well the problem is, that there is no driver from logitech for it. I did managed to get it work though, but not with the Logitech drivers. You can install the latest Microsoft Intellipoint drivers and modify the Info.plist file to include the MX518.
The Info.plist is located here:
/System/Library/Extensions/MicrosoftMouse.kext/Contents/PlugIns/MicrosoftMouseUSB.kext/Contents
Add this:
Code:
<key>Alphagrip Custom</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.microsoft.driver.MicrosoftMouseUSB</string>
<key>HIDPointerAccelerationTable</key>

As the last entry in the list. Restart and you should see that the active mouse is the MX518 when you check in the Intellipoint properties. If not, please check the productId using System Profiler in utilities:
You should see something like this under Hardware/USB:
Code:
USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse:
[B]Product ID: 0xc051[/B]
Vendor ID: 0x046d (Logitech Inc.)
Version: 30.00
Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Logitech
Location ID: 0xfa140000 / 6
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 98
The product is in HEX, convert it to an integer. And use that value in the Info.plist file.
If it works can simple change the keys with the system preferences to be COMMAND + [ or ].
