G500s Mouse button Xim Edge

[Arceye]

I have both XimEdge for use on xbox 360 and Xim4 for use with XBone
( the problem is with the Edge only )

I am unable to confirm if the problem could be the console because as far as I am aware ( I have not actually tried ) the Edge doesn't work on the XBone.

Looking for advice with Xim Edge.

Sorry in advance for long post, but I have to explain what I have tried already to resolve this issue.

Problem:

Middle ( Side Buttons)  will not assign in to anything so is unusable in game.
In the Logitech software it is unassigned / default.

Scenarios I have tried:

I have assigned it a letter ( for example 'K' as I want to use it for Knife ) and committed it to the mouse onboard memory.
If I open notepad on the PC and hit the button it types the letter K , If I plug the mouse into another PC which is not running the logitech software and do the same it will type the letter K, so the assigment is 100% correct.

Now I open the xim edge software  XimEdge Manager 20151121 I go to assign the key, hit the Detect , then the button and of course it accepts it and a K is showing.

Start a game hit the button and the mouse stops working completely and requires unplugging before it will resume working, hit the button again.. same thing every time.
I have tried this with every button except the main mouse buttons ( they are not assignable ) and if any button is assigned a function other than its default it will cause the mouse to stop working in game and require unplugging.
By unplugging I only mean the mouse form the ximedge the ximedge remains plugged in to the console.

Next I tried doing the assign in game using the ( start Back and Xbox buttons ) this again will lock the mouse completely whenever I try to use any button which is assigned to something it shouldn't be.




My Conclusion:
I know this isn't a problem with what I am doing, as I also have a xim4 which this works perfectly with, I even have assigned button sequences which work without fault on the xim4.

An example of what I have set up on the xim4 would be for drop shotting where I have the sequence go to prone, ads, shoot then run ( works nice and pisses people off no end :-)  )


I know I can use the xim4 on the XB360 but it's more convenient to have the edge in the 360 and the xim4 in the XBOne all the time.



I do have another question unrelated to this problem.

Can I set up a game using the Xim4 for the convenience of the Bluetooth then once I have it dialled in, use the same sensitivity numbers on the Xim Edge ? ( are they the same between the different adapters ? )

Thanks in Advance

Is this something that requires some firmware update I may have missed. I know I have read a similar post about it but that was with the Xim4 in its early days which as my Xim4 works it must have been fixed.

The mouse may not be compatible with Edge. XIM4 has had more hardware compatibility improvements and supports more current devices as XIM4 itself is a newer device.

To answer your other question, yes, assuming you chose the 360 version of the ST on XIM4 and didn't use any of XIM4's advanced settings.

Thanks for the reply,

I guess it is a compatibility problem, although the G500s is on the compatible list for the edge and I am sure ( Not 100% sure though )  Obsiv was using the G500s in some of the early  video's he did showing how the xim performs.

It's possible, I don't recall honestly. Did you try assigning those buttons to keyboard keys? This can be necessary for buttons on some mice. I recommend assigning them to keys that you wouldn't normally use such as [ and ].

Thanks for the reply again.

Yes I had done that as explained in original post.

At this point I am kind of hoping obsiv will jump in an tell me it works or doesn't.
