Lenovo Gaming Mouse

[FierceFusion]

i have the ideapad y700 gaming laptop .. it cames with this gaming mouse which is suppost to have 9 programmable buttons but 2 of them aren't mapping to the controls  in games when i press them

the mouse is called the lenovo precision gaming mouse and i have the driver that controls it and every thing and i can assign these 2 buttons to do what ever i want normally on desktop ( volume up & down is the current setting and they do that just fine ) 

any ideas ?

What exactly is your question here?

i want to be able to use the 2 keys in games

So you can assign the buttons to do anything but when you're in game they stop working?

they do what they are suppose to do outside of the game which in this case is volume up/down 
that's weird cuz the other keys are used for other purposes like that too (e.g. forward & back ) but in game i can map them and do what i want 
that's not the case with the other two

So currently the two keys are mapped in your mouse software as Vol up and Down. Maybe the game does not allow you to map Vol Up and down to an in game action. Try changing the mapping on the buttons in the mouse software to keyboard keys like 'L' or 'P' and try again.

Does lenovo even claim you can do this? Might just be 2 normal buttons, not meant for gaming.

yes they claim it has 9 programmable buttons

i know this is going to sound weird but here it goes
i discovered i had another problem 
the function of the 2 buttons which is to control the sound doesn't even work except when i first install the driver 
after that nothing i tried doing what you said (setting the mouse buttons to keyboard buttons via the micro setting and they don't work even outside of game)
