    Hello,
    I´m using a mouse which has more buttons and you can program each button to to do different things depending on the software.
    its a 3dconnexion CAD mouse.

    I can use the mouse in windows, but windows can´t see it and therefore I can´t program the buttons.
    3Dconnexion guys suggest enabling HID devices, I have no idea how to do that one.

    Thanks in advance
    Kico

    Hi @FranciscoA5 , please check if there are any particular drivers for the mouse and then try to download and install it.

    Yes I have the drives on both the mac side and windows side.
    I have parallels running with optimized for games option for the mouse.
    The problem I see is that the mouse is always bounded to mac, so it uses the bottoms assigned on the mac side, not the windows side.
    I need to unbound the mouse on the mac when in windows. any idea how to do this??

    If it is an external mouse, connect it directly to Windows. You can select Devices > External Device and that Mouse. You can use the normal mouse to unmount that external mouse or remove and reconnect to use it on the Mac.
