I can’t seem to customise the mouse buttons anywhere else in system preferences, as SetPoint is where you usually do it on Windows. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance. Edit: so apparently the specific mouse I have isn’t supported on Mac OS, whereas it was on Windows 10. So it works as a basic mouse but not as a customisable one.
