you need to be sure you are in the right xml file in that folder. if you have an m65 or whatever it needs to be the same. You need to likely take ownership of the file first, depending on your GP or NTFS settings. Then you do what he said and save the file, reboot cue. Now you can overload the Left click.

That said, it is super dangerous, i just tested it and had to hard reset three times before i thought to create a little ahk script (keyboard only) that did a mouse click

Has anyone found a way yet in iCUE?

I would prefer to use iCUE instead of the old CUE, but no such xml file exists in iCUE.

I found this thread while trying to also do stuff with left click, but the issue I have (which I can see is why it was disabled in the first place) is that it disables the ability to click on anything.

What I have been trying to set up is simply different lighting effects for the left click and the right click, such as red pulse for left click and blue pulse for right click (no fancy macros or anything, just wanted to try and make fun lights happen for when I'm playing FPS games), and I can easily get it to profile switch into and out of those effects when I click, but then I lose the ability to actually use the mouse for anything other than switching profiles, if that makes sense. I know iCUE has the option to retain the key press, so it works exactly how I want it to, but then iCUE can't be modified to allow the left mouse to be used for anything.

I'm still pretty new to learning how CUE works so if there's a way to make the profile switch retain the key press like iCUE can, and I'm just not aware of it, then that would be the easiest solution. Otherwise, I guess I will have to wait for iCUE to allow it (if it ever does).

**EDIT** I completely missed that icon in CUE where the 'retain key output' option is. So I'm all good for now.

I found a way, but it is very janky and volatile. After it is bound it can reset if you try to make changes to it. if you try to click on the macro in icue, it will unbind it.

TLDNR - Make a macro, bind it to a mouse button. Go to users/appdata/roaming/corsair/CUE/profiles , Find your cueprofile. change the button you bound, to Mouse1.


For safety: Rebind one of your dpi keys or sniper button or forward/back buttons to act as your left mouse button. I also make one of my keyboard media keys backups for all the mouse buttons. Or make a profile switching action that goes to another profile.

Then.
Make the Macro you want to take the place of the left mouse button.

Bind it to your middle mouse button.

Export your profile somewhere and open it up.

Find the ID of your profile.

Close icue.

Now find the .cueprofile in users/yourusername/appdata/roaming/corsair/CUE/profiles

open it up, ctrl+f search for the name of the macro you made. It should be in one <first> branches of the <value#> branches under <Actions>. Inside the <second> branch, you should see:

<first>Mouse3</first>
<second>Click</second>

change the Mouse3 to Mouse1. Save it

-<cereal>

Im having the same issue, and for me without rebinding the left click this device is not going to suit my needs.

I would like to see the feature available because the box says 8 programmable buttons, not 7.

I think removing the ability to rebind mouse1 should have never been approved as it falsifies every piece of specification and advertisement for not having 8 programmable buttons.

Im not being salty and i dont mean to post twice about this happening but i've been mislead by marketing to buy this product and as a consumer i deserve and have the rights to the product i purchased.

Is this feature going to be re-added? It seems like it would be straightforward and could done via a hard-to-edit configuration so only people who know what they are doing can enable it.

Without it, this makes iCue useless for anyone who uses the mouse with their left hand. Swapping the mouse buttons via the Windows control panel doesn't work very well as many (but not all) games read the raw mouse buttons which means each game could potentially use either button order. Swapping it using Cue works great.

They really rely really need to add this feature back my middle finger was lost in a motor bike accident so I use my index finger on left click to aim and shoot in fps shooters and it really helped me play that's why I love this mouse I used a macro retaining left click and aim all on the left click helped me a ton!! and it was perfect for me but now I can't do it, gutted is a understatment

If any of you, like me, would like to rebind Profile Switch, this mouse key button is named "MouseProfileSwitch", use that instead of "Mouse1".

I got some suggestions to prevent this from happening but Im not sure how many people will bind left click in comparison to the amount of work Id need to do. For now though, I'll keep an eye on this. I am glad you were able to find a resolution though.

Why not simply hard code it, so that if someone does want to add a macro to the left button, it always has the "retain key output" value set to true? then for the left handers, add a second function that remaps the right button as the primary button, along with the "retain key output" settings. This would permanently resolve the issue that someone ccould just erase their preferred primary click, while still allowing macros and the ability to switch for lefties.

How am I supposed to do this now on iCUE?, thanks in advance
