Oops, my bad. Thanks for not cluttering up the thread. :-D

Looks like the config you have posted does not have a <devices> section, so that's one problem. I took your config, and simply added the following to the top, and I was able to run the app successfully.

Code:

<devices>
    <device type="hid" name="SpaceNavigator" vid="0x046D" pid="0xC626">
      <command name="Led On" report="0x0004" value="0x0001"/>
      <command name="Led Off" report="0x0004" value="0x0000"/>
    </device>
  </devices>

Though, having that missing would cause the app to crash, and your post was talking about functionality. Once I got it running, I setup my RR with the same stuff, and got the same results. I.E. on the menu, the axes operated as a mouse, but the buttons did not. Strange!

After some sleuthing, it looks like you caught a bug! Deep down in some of the context switching code, I do a "CopyStatus" which was meant to copy the current status of each of the buttons between contexts. I.E. Button Down, or Button Up. Turns out, it was accidentally copying the buttons actions between contexts instead. Messy!

I've fixed it, but won't be releasing a new version just yet, as there are a few other little things I need to work out.

Thanks for catching this!
