Alternative to setpoint that allows key configuration profiles for multiple mice?

I have 2 mice: Logitech MX Revolution and Razer DeathAdder.

I use my mx revolution for browsing internet (I set up a lot of hotkeys on all my buttons to make browsing really convenient) and the deathadder for gaming (the mouse is a lot more accurate and smooth).

The problem is that by having two mice, setpoint randomly forgets its settings once in a while (I'm assuming due to getting confused why theres two input devices), and I constantly have to restart setpoint (every few minutes) to get it to rerecognize that the

I agree about needing an alternative. I really don’t like having to install a bunch of software (SetPoint/IntelliPoint/etc.) to use the extended keys and buttons my keyboard and mouse. I have not seen the problem with SetPoint forgetting the settings due to two input devices, but I have noticed a problem with multiple pointer devices of varying speeds. It seems that Microsoft/Logitech/etc. just haven’t put much thought into their software in terms of multiple devices. :-(

I really wish the Saitek programming software would work for non-cybord/saitek devices, it's key binding profiles done right. – Amicable – 2012-06-22T11:41:47.613

Here's another complaint about SetPoint (and its ilk). It would be great if there were a lightweight third-party tool that could expose the enhanced functions of keyboards and mice. – Synetech – 2012-06-27T14:24:07.003

This is the ultimate tool of them all. (enhances SetPoint possibilities)

Oh man this is awesome! Unfortunately my mx-revolution has died a year ago. Logitech no longer manufactures this mouse and is replacing it with someone that doesnt have a thumb scroll wheel nor a super scroll feature. :( – Razor Storm – 2014-12-22T22:30:28.627

Try the wonderful and free X-Mouse Button Control :

You are able to provide application or window specific mappings, which means an application or window can use the mouse buttons differently from another. For each profile you can optionally define up to 5 'layers' of different button configurations which you can switch between using hotkeys or mouse buttons.

I am a user of X-Mouse Button Control, but I have no experience with using multiple mouses. For questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact the developer. When I did, he usually answered back in a few days.

It doesn't recognize my side scroll wheel. The boxes are grayed out. I thought maybe it requires SetPoint, but then I read the comment above. What's wrong here? – Mark Jeronimus – 2014-10-16T19:40:12.487

This replaces and conflicts with SetPoint. You might try to get in touch with the developer. – harrymc – 2014-10-16T19:52:38.767

It also allows you to scroll the window under the mouse, instead of always having to click to within a window before scrolling. One of those little features that makes all the difference. – catdotgif – 2015-09-30T17:03:43.390

Note: This product is incompatible with Setpoint, so you need to uninstall it first. – harrymc – 2012-06-20T19:08:51.580

I can’t find anything about per-device settings, only app-specific settings. – Synetech – 2012-06-21T02:20:19.943

This looks great. I'll try it out and see how it goes. Thanks! – Razor Storm – 2012-06-21T03:53:45.363

In the past there has been development of such functionality in AutoHotKey, however I see no receent discussion and am unsure of the current status. Perhaps interested users can contribute (I will certainly take a look at some stage).

One script utilises a usb HID aware dll to separate the functionality, while at the same time disabling native calls to the mice.

Another was written explicitly to allow independent swapping of left/right buttons, I wonder if it could be extended to cover the OPs request.

Incidentally this looks much more simpler to perform in Linux through Xinput.
