As the title suggests my mouse 4 and 5 are not registering in game. On top of this issue when I alt+tab i can't click on anything with my mouse. no windows or the start bar, nothing. As soon as I close the game the mouse works just fine, So SOMETHING in the game is preventing me from using all the buttons on the mouse and takes the ability to use my mouse away when not focused on the game. I have a corsair nightsword rgb as a mouse if that helps. on a side note it does disable the "sniper" button on the mouse as well but i rarely use it. Update: it completely shuts of my mouse for windows explorer.exe , I can't use the start bar or files windows at all. I have to restart explorer.exe for it to even work again. this seems to happen only after joining a game, I just tested it in a custom game and it did the same thing. Menu screens worked fine but as soon as the match loads it happens. ( I wondered if it was only replication)

This is currently haappening to me. When I close out ICUE for my corsair mouse, they work. When the game launched, ICUE was tied to cheating software and they had to fix it. I am wondering what the latest patch did.

Mouse 4 and 5 not working in game?

chimyjoe

as far as im aware, it's the current patch that caused it. Everything worked before I patched today and now it is broken. At least for me.

Sounds like you're having trouble with your mouse buttons lately and your 4th and 5th side button aren't working at all. That's definitely not a fun situation to be in, but I'm sure we can get down to the bottom of what's going on here.
We have been seeing some other players running into similar issues lately and the proper teams are aware of the issue and working on a fix. In the meantime you can give the below steps a shot.

Test out these fixes in custom games
1) If you have Razer Synapse, Logitech G Hub, or Corsair software on your system please try to update them as this has resolved the issue for other players. If issues persist please uninstall the software and see if that resolves your issue instead.
Go to your Control Panel > Find programs > Click Uninstall or change a program > right-click the program and click uninstall
2) Additionally, you can try the following:
Close VALORANT
Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut on your desktop
Click Properties
Click the Shortcut tab
In Run, select the minimized option
Click on Apply, then on Ok and test the game
3) To make sure that you don't have any background process that are causing this issue, follow this guide to perform a quick clean boot. This will disable third party apps from starting automatically when you start up your computer.
Please make sure to HIDE ALL MICROSOFT PROCESSES when disabling startup programs.
For VALORANT: Find vgc and re-check that service. This is required for VALORANT

chimyjoe

I recently found that iCue was not fully updated. This did fix the issue. Thank you for your help

Autocon

I have this exact same issue. The problem is, I have tried every sort of solution I can find. IDK how yours got fixed

Newt

For me, whenever I'm in a custom game both mouse buttons work fine. However, when I'm in a regular match, mouse button 4 does not work. There are no razer synapse updates and I don't know what to do. Please help.

TrollLoki

Newt did you fix it ? coz i have the exact problem as you

nobleRadical

I had this problem with a Logitech MX master 25, and it works on the PBE, so maybe next patch will fix it?

So this worked for me. Uninstall ICUE entirely. Reinstall their new software! Works the same but it's a bit updated. I can use my mouse buttons again!

Ayukikaze

I am experiencing the same issue, updating ICUE is not an option for me as my Sabre RGB is not supported in the newest Update.
Tried the shortcut solution but Valorant doesn't let me start unless I use the RIOT Client anymore.

Disabling Raw mouse input buffer solved this issue for me

blub

Just started having this issue and was looking for a fix. Does anybody know how to fix it? Using MB5 for my ability worked just yesterday and now it does not work. It works when I'm in the range or in a custom match, and it also works on an alt account. I reinstalled Valorant completely. I use a razer mouse.

blub Hello I was having the same issue with a new M65 Ultra Wireless Mouse from Corsair tried everything suggested above to no avail only thing I found to work is completely quitting out any software controlling my mouse, and using the mouse's hardware settings. So you may have to just close Razer Synapse in task manager while playing

BaptisteSanchez

Felinefine im having the same issues with the same mouse. the thumb buttons don't even run. i remember having the same issue back when i had my other mouse (old version of the m65 corsair). When i close my icue it works but once i open it it stops. i uninstalled evreything and installed everything again and nothing works

AlexiaGutierrez Fix for me was scrolling down action keybinds and finding out that i had once binded ghost mode for custom games on mouse buttons and thats why they didnt work anywhere else other than range.

AlexiaGutierrez

kennygloj

hatila THIS IS THE FIX lol THANK YOU

I have this issue with my corsair sabre wireless 2000hz mouse. The only way i could fix this was ending the ICUE task before launching valorant.
