Wanting a middle mouse button that can be clicked without scrolling the wheel is not goofy. It's the most basic function of a button that you can press it, and it alone. And I don't know how many more times I could have repeated that I wanted the control over a goofy feature only to disable it. The only way to make that into something dismissable is by saying "you should either just enjoy the 24/7 disco light show or use some other keyboard" Both are ridiculous invalid inconsiderate & ignorant. No one gets to tell anyone else that. It's perfectly reasonable to want a mechanical keyboard, or tenkeyless layout, or bios functionality, or bluetooth, and not rgb multicolor flashing lights. And it's perfectly valid to have landed on some particular model that is available that hits almost all the tickboxes one cares about and just have some particular thing that needs to be changed somehow. And all this whole thread answering the parent question is just explaining why the software exists and the fact that the normal driver interface does not handle these aspects of driving the hardware. Why in the world would you even care? What in the world is even the point of hearing that explaination of a simple technical thing, and trying to say "that's why you need it? so you don't need it then"? Like in what way does this affect you even the slightest? Where does that instinc come from? It sure is common though.
