Hi,
At least for me mouse back/forward buttons do not work even though other ones do (even middle button etc). Probably support for extra buttons would be easy to implement?

Hello Jukk,

Thank you for your suggestion.

We will add the extra buttons support to our wishlist and implement it in our future updates.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Support level: Free or trial

Has there been any progress on this? I switched to Remote Utilities Self-Hosted from the Free [censored] Control license because it allowed for more remote connections and I didn't need to rely on a third-parties infrastructure for my own personal/home/homelab remote access.

Having the ability to use forward/back buttons on a mouse as they would work natively on remove PCs seems like a fairly common feature. I use those buttons all the time in my day-to-day use of a PC.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on the extra mouse buttons support yet, however, the feature is already added to our roadmap and will be definitely implemented in one of our future updates. We will do our best to make it available as soon as possible. Sorry for keeping you waiting!

Please let me know if you have more questions.
