🧵 blender middle wheel button issues
Anonymous at Mon, 25 Sep 2023 01:42:15 UTC No. 959481
it was working as it should an hour ago, but it stopped suddenly. can't rotate (but occasionally it does in spurts), can't pan. i can still zoom in and out with the middle wheel though. nothing on google seems too helpful, even the youtube vids are limited although it seems to be a common problem. pic related are my settings.
already tried:
>factory reset
>enable/disable emulate 3 button mouse
>restarting blender
>restarting machine
mouse wheel seems fine everywhere else outside the program, it scrolls as it should. currently, alt+lmb on blender seems to work for rotation alternative, but i want the middle wheel button back since that was what i was used to.
any help appreciated

Just tried the original mouse and that works again now. Might be unrelated, but my keyboard played up the day before this. I have a slider on it that zooms in and I set it to scroll to use in Blender. Stopped working in Blender but worked in browser. I had to edit the xml file in Keyboard Center folder to fix that and also had to change the browser back/forward macros in the actual Keyboard Center software to fix another issue that cropped up.

i don't know what i did, but it started working again on its own; the click-grabs are a bit buggy still though. sometimes it grabs the screen and other times it won't, but it's working more often than before.
thanks for the help anons, maybe just need a new mouse.
