Is there support for mouse buttons 3,4 and 5? If not is there a way I can bind them to a keystroke?

"Hmmmm....I don't know" but hopefully someone can answer that question for you soon. I really enjoy using a Joystick for Legends or Renegades so I rarely use the mouse. :)

Not natively as the development platform used for the game is limited to 2 input buttons. However, if you have a gaming mouse with 4, 5, or more buttons, they often come with profiling software that lets you configure them for a particular game with key functions.

Although I have not used this program, it may help for mapping extended mouse buttons on devices that do not come with profiling software:

If you decide to try it and it works, please post your results here in case others are interested.
