When pressing the middle and extended buttons you should get a Mouse.XButton1, Mouse.XButton2 or Mouse.MiddleButton event in the EventGhost log window, drag this to your macro to assign.

If you don't see the events in the log, you need to uncheck the "Log only assigned and activated events".

No.

Maybe you can figure out why the existing internal mechanism does not work.

What mouse and mouse software do you use? maybe some settings in the mouse software is preventing EventGhost to access the mouse buttons.

I don't think a plugin would help, unless your mouse uses a nonstandard protocol, then a plugin could help.

I think you should change the subject of this thread to ask help for your remote, so you might attract people that can help with that.
