Hi @JustinYeo

Thanks for your question.

I just forked your code and - long story short - it works fine. I think the issue here is:

  1. You are displaying the number 2 repeatedly for some reason that isn’t clear (I’m not watching the whole video). I commented this out:

  1. The code you have written isn’t doing anything, it is just pass for both buttons so I changed them to print statements:

Only using the middle mouse button or right mouse button will work when you click on the icons in the bottom right of the screen:

Hope this helps.
