Remap sniper button to keyboard key

[Freon]

Hello Corsair community,

 

I have recently purchased the Corsair Nightsword mouse because I really liked the idea of being able to switch the DPI speed by pressing a mouse button (sniper button). What I have discovered is that the sniper button's click is far too heavy to activate and hold, so I prefer/tend to not use it as is takes too much pressure and makes me less accurate when playing FPSs.

 

What I would like to do is be able to change my DPI speed by clicking a keyboard key, ideally left shift. So basically I want to remap mouse sniper button DPI change functionality to the left shift key on keyboard while keeping the original input for the shift key.

 

Does anyone know if this can be done, and if so how?

 

Cheers,

 

Freon

You need to have a Corsair keyboard as well. Actions, +, change to Remap mouse button. Sniper is the last choice on the right. Select the Left Shift Key to bind it.

 

Be aware this will apply the native Sniper DPI setting. It will not transfer any re-programmed function of the sniper button from the mouse actions list. For example, if I reprogram the actual mouse sniper button to be Shift+B, pushing your keyboard action will not do Shift+B. It will lower DPI as long as you hold it. I think that is what you are after anyway.
