-i got a combination keyboard and mouse...but when i bring it to the computer with windows 7 which has a right-handed mouse to hook it up...i can't set the buttons differently for the combination keyboard and mouse. is this a mistake on the part of windows 7 or a limitation with the combination keyboard and mouse?

well, not satisfied with the failure, i decided to try out the option, enable program specific settings. it's not working. not one bit. it's not working for the mouse i can change the buttons for, nor the keyboard and mouse combination.

what is going on here? does windows 7 need some sort of update? on my netbook(windows xp) i can make the mouse attached to keyboard be right handed and the mouse connected to usb be left handed and vice versa or whatever. but on this windows 7 computer although it can find a mouse that isn't the one already hooked up, it won't change the buttons settings. isn't that strange?

I really don't understand what your problem is at all - can you give us the exact model/version of the mouse/keyboard, and what it currently does and what you want it to do?

Are you just trying to change what the keys do on the keyboard? As Slapshot said, letting us know the models would be good.

I think he is trying to have two mice plugged in at once, and have one "left-handed" and one "right-handed" with their buttons.
If you are using a Logitech mouse I believe their SetPoint software can be used to reverse the settings for one mouse.

Click to expand...

it is a mk320 logitech keyboard and mouse combination. on my one computer it is left-handed, and on my roommate's computer, it is right-handed. i can't figure out how to change this. i've tried and tried, but i can't seem to select the keyboard and mouse combination in the mouse settings.

so anyway, contrary to my other post, i can't make the mouse and keyboard not be left-handed on my computer(the windows xp computer), as i assumed i would be able to.

but more importantly, i can't make it left-handed on my roommate's computer(the windows 7 computer).

even making the mouse for his computer be left-handed, restarting the computer and everything the mouse is still stuck on right-handed for his computer.

the mouse buttons just freaked out on me for the mouse that's in the computer! i was playing a warcraft 3 dota game and all of a sudden the left handed mouse settings stopped working! the mouse was all of a sudden right handed in the game! and it made me my hero die. i didn't know what was going on. but my hero wasn't doing anything i told him to. now i can't get the mouse settings to work for left handed for either one of the mouses, the wired, and the wireless! think it's a problem with windows, and not the hardware.

Did you recently make any other changes to your mouse settings before this new problem?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
