The mousewheel isn't captured and games normally work on a level system api you can emulate with special drivers in place.

I don't know if EventGhost can do it, but when I need to remap mouse/keyboard buttons functionality I use freeware Autohotkey.

Example script to map mousewheeldown -> tab

Code: Select all

WheelDown::Send, {tab}
Some games need a bit more complicated script but there's help in Autohotkeys forum.
