> this device can be configured with the custom software (under windows), right?

Yes

> If so, did you change the wheel settings at all?

No, I never changed any settings. Are you saying that the software changes some
settings inside the mouse itself, as opposed to OS/driver configuration?

> Unfortunately this isn't something we can work around in libinput because doing so would mean you lose the back/forward buttons. we can't tell the difference between a real button press and a mouse wheel, the look exactly the same.

You *can* tell the difference, at least for this very mouse model with its
default configuration. As I've said, physical back and forward buttons map to
BTN_SIDE and BTN_EXTRA, whereas the wheel maps to BTN_BACK/BTN_FORWARD.

If other mice map back/forward buttons to BTN_BACK/BTN_FORWARD, then this
sounds to be a candidate for its own HWDB field. On the other hand, let me
mention once again that back/forward buttons do work for me now, so maybe
BTN_SIDE & BTN_EXTRA *is* what other mice emit for back/forward buttons.

Hope that this is not too confusing...
