    Can someone tell me if side mouse buttons are supported on TSW2 or not?
    If they aren't supported, they would be a nice addition because they could be used as buttons for safety systems like SIFA or PZB, because, in my case, I always have to press two different buttons on the keyboard and I can't move the visual because my hands are busy pressing those two buttons.

    Thanks in advance for the replies :)

    Hopefully that is something that will be implemented with full key remapping, as of right now I don't think that they do anything, simply because not everyone has more than 2 (3 if you count the scroll weel) buttons on the mouse, so it would be impractical to map any useful function by default on there.

    Buona Giornata ;)

    Perhaps not what you are looking for, but I enjoy using the Logitech G300 mouse pictured here on the Logitech website and often available for less money elsewhere:
    https://www.logitechg.com/en-eu/products/gaming-mice/g300s-gaming-mouse.html
    The buttons can be programmed and the 3 pairs on the front face of mine are mapped to:
    Throttle up/down
    Brakes release/apply
    AFB Speed up/down
    Having the depress scroll wheel map to Q is also good.
    You can map them any way you find it convenient with the Logitech software.
    I enjoy using this, though I recognize it is just a placeholder for when I finally give in and get a Raildriver!

    Thanks for your useful reply! I'll look into that mouse to see if it is convenient.
    Thanks again and have a nice day :)

    That's certainly an expert-level mousie, but I wonder whether I could ever remember all of its functions while operating a train and I've become very fond of me Anker vertical mouse. Still, I've added it to my Amazon wish list. Thanks for the tip!
