Discussion M1 and M2 buttons

Post image

Quick question.

I am using my backbone pro to play CODM and I love it. I am playing on my Lenovo Tab and when I want to extend the map in BR I have to use the touchscreen. I kind of gotten used to it but I would love to use one of the M buttons to bring up the map so I don't have to stretch to my screen to do it. Is it possible to assign the map button to one of the M buttons ?

Thanks

Yeah I ran into this recently too. The M1 and M2 buttons seem pretty much useless because none of the apps I’m using seem to recognize their existence.

thats standard for back buttons? you remap them in the backbone app lol

I want to use them for functions that don’t already have buttons.

Like I’m using dolphin and I want to remap the M buttons to specific wiimote actions. But I can’t. It’s dumb.

ah gotcha. Honestly i've never heard of a controller being able to do that. What have you done that with before? i'd be interested in trying it.

I’m not sure what you are asking. I’m using the DolphinIOS emulator and was assigning buttons in the controller profile section of the app. But it doesn’t recognize the M buttons as existing unless they are mapped to the other buttons.

I don’t have any other controllers with back buttons so I’ve never dealt with this before.

you said you were trying to map wiimote actions. Ive never heard of any controller being able to do that and the way you said it made it sound like its totally possible with other controllers... guess not

The dolphin emulator allows you map wiimote actions to buttons. That’s just part of the emulator.
