Mouse change - button assignments?

Hi folks. Running into a strange issue I'm not sure how to fix. My previous 5 button mouse (a Logitech laser optical corded), recently developed problems with the scroll wheel. It otherwise works great. On every alt I have, I have binds that are set to "button4" and button5", which correspond to the "back" and "forward" buttons on the side of the mouse.

To try to retain the same capabilities I bought a new Logitech M500 laser optical corded mouse. It's nearly identical to the old one, except that it also has a fast-scroll/tick scroll button in the center.

However, the game no longer recognizes the commands when I use the "back" and "forward" buttons. Unsure how to get it to do so. I do have the software for the mouse installed, and I tried turning on the "recognize when I'm game playing" with no effect. Any idea how I find out what CoH thinks the new side buttons are so I can fix my binds?

Thanks in advance.

Try opening the Keymapping options and click on one of the options, then press the button you want to check. It should then tell you the name of that button right on the list.

Good idea, but it was the first thing I tried. Doesn't recognize it sadly.

I had to change the scroll to 'middle button' to make my mouse work in the game.
