Why do some keys not forward to the machine I am active on?

from Stardock Forums
I have a mouse with F keys bound to it (8 button logitech mouse, MX500 or something). When I try to use the extra buttons on the mouse the command forwards back to the master machine instead of the slave, even though I am on the slave machine.

F keys work fine on thier own, however, any way to get the extra mouse buttons to recognize?

Is the primaries mouse drivers installed on the secondary? Are the function keys configured on the secondary?

I don't think the current version supports anything more than right-click, left-click and scroll wheel. But I would try to update your drivers first.

I have a logitech 3-button and the 3rd button(on the scroll wheel) fails to react on the secondary.

Yes, same exact versions of the mouseware installed on both, configured identically. In fact the same mouse functions fine when plugged into the second machine.

Hopefully the next update will support additional keys on keyboards (I use Microsoft keyboards, and all of the additional buttons are now disabled, even on the primary machine), as well as additional buttons on mice (my forward/back buttons are disabled on my Microsoft mice).

This app is also quite bandwidth intensive for what it does. It's unusable on my 802.11g network. Once I plugged in, the program is awesome. Yet, I have no problems using Remote Desktop while connected wirelessly. I find it hard to believe that tracking cursor position and sending key codes is more bandwidth intensive than full remote desktop control!

I use it over 802.11b with no (or very little) mouse lag. No issues with copying either.
