Synapse 4 for Mac - programmed buttons not working

OK, I’m out of ideas. Mac M1 mini, latest OS, Naga v2 Pro (so it’s a supported device). App launches, mouse is detected, I was able to adjust the scrolling fine (I absolutely love Smooth Scroll). I programmed the side buttons, saved each one, but clicking any of those buttons does nothing. Not the default corresponding number, not what I programmed...nothing. I tried the other side panels to make sure that wasn’t the issue. None of them work.

I figured it out. Apparently, when you’re using a different keyboard layout (Dvorak) the Mac Shortcuts option doesn’t work. You have to do weird key mapping to make it work.

@IguanaGreenbusbiz751 Most of my shortcuts are working. Just the launchpad isn’t working. I have my scroll wheel centre click set to luanchpad, just like I had on my logi mx master. But when I press the center scroll wheel click, it shows me that it is trying to do that but it doesn’t accomplish it.
