How to remap the left and right hands to mouse buttons

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I want to change right/left hand in the controls menu, so I map left hand with M1 and it works, but then the cursor freezes and it's still saying "Press a button to map this action." And if I click anything else (say e or enter), it maps those button to the action and I basically can't get out of the menu with mapping M1 to left hand, if that makes sense.
So how can I do it?

The problem is that you are highlighting the option again and Skyrim is VERY liberal with what it determines as a click. Move the cursor away from the selection after highlighting, then hit e to activate it, then click the desired mouse remap, and it should work fine.
