I’ve just started using a Logitech MX 3 mouse with Cubase 12 Pro (Windows version). I want to assign some of my key commands to the gestures, but for some reason the Logi Options app won’t apply modifiers to the gestures (e.g. my key command ‘Ctrl + Alt + R’ to open the Right Section in the project window triggers the ‘R’ command to record enable a track instead. Modifiers work if I assign them to the other buttons (eg scroll wheel button), the problem is just with the gestures. Anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I don’t want to remove the modifiers from my key commands, as they are all set up how I want them. Thanks!

Sorry I don’t have a solution, but happy I found this post that reflects my very same issue. I think it’s a bad logitech implementation that does this. I’m gonna look more in to workarounds within the logi+ app.
Right now I try to assign alt+h/g for zooming the waveform, assigned to click-hold-drag gestures. But instead it zooms Cubase.
On a seperate note, logitech has become more and more anti-consumer friendly with worse automation and keystroke possiblilities over time, they try to to monetize more and more (look at the forevermouse story for example), which shows that core functionality towards end-users is not at their best interest.
Indeed logitech screw things over and over especially with their new Options+ app. However there is workaround to this. You can assign F13, F14, F19 etc to the gestures. Also you can setup modifier keys with it inside Cubase, Cubase will register that as CTRL+F19 etc.
The main problem is that you have physically press those buttons above. I used AHK v1 script to get around that How to use it:
Install AHK v1 and create bellow script.
F1::
click
sleep, 20
send, {F19}
return
“send, {F19}” you can change F19 to any that is not reachable on your keyboard. Keep in mind that on every change you have to save script and run it again.
Fire logioptions+ go to the gestures assign them as keyboard shortcut and position the mouse on the x button and hit F1 which will send F19 through the script. See here:
P.S I am not sure but i think Cubase doesen’t register beyond F22 but you can check that easily.
