Remapping | Software, such as the Logitech Gaming Software, is required to map controls to a mouse's side-buttons or any other additional buttons. For Steam, you will need the .exe's TestApp2620s.exe and TestApp2620m.exe, in addition to CoDSP.exe and CoDMP.exe to make a workable profile. For United Offensive, you will also need to look for CoDUOSP.exe and CODUOMP.exe. | |
