This feature and manual page has been inherited from the FuhQuake client made by A Nourai aka 'fuh' (#fuhquake on Quakenet irc).
This client supports binding all buttons on logitech mice. This works with and without -dinput. I have got all 8 mouse buttons on my logitech mx500 working.
*) You must be using a win32 binary and a logitech mouse with logitech's mouseware installed.
The following mouseware versions are known to work: v9.73, v9.76, v9.77, v9.78, v9.79.
The following mouseware versions are known NOT to work: v9.75.
*) You must have mw_hook.dll in your quake dir (same dir where the client executables are).
Firstly use -m_mwhook on the command line. Ex.ezquake-gl.exe -m_mwhook -etc
You should be able to bind MOUSE4 - MOUSE8 in the client now and have it work (you will have to use trial and error to see exactly which button on your mouse is MOUSE4 etc).
-m_mwhook works by intercepting the mouse messages logitech's mouseware sends to quake, and making them the 'right' messages so that the buttons can work in games.
The idea of doing this originally came from [EZH]FAN. It was first implemented by BorisU in qw262.
All credit should go to those 2 people for overcoming the inadequacies of Logitech MouseWare.
