Without the ability to remap the cast from middle mouse button, it's impossible to play this game on a laptop touchpad, which only has left/right buttons. I can't buy the game until I can customize the cast button.

Please pass it on to the devs.

I'm pretty sure you're quite literally the only person who would attempt to play a game in 2011 with a laptop touchpad, and then complain about how it's awkward.

Buy a mouse, ffs.

Yeah I normally do all my gaming with my touch pad, League of Legends, Guild Wars, etc; but for this I had to plug in my mouse. I'm hoping in the retail version I can remap it to ctrl and use my pinky.

Still should have customisable controlls though.

What? League of Legends with a touch pad? Yeah right, are you the feeder of every match or something? I just don't see how you can play a game like that with such limitations, unless you have some really good touch pad.

You're insane.

hah, I get that a lot. I've been using a laptop to game with for at least 7 years. It's completely natural for me now, a mouse is the awkward control :P

Several interviews have said remapping controls. This was just a demo and all of the options felt limited.

Who is complaining? It's just something the devs may want to address.

I've beaten probably every major single-player game you can list, from 2004-present, on a laptop's touchpad. I have my own health reasons, which make using a USB mouse impossible.
