Input Remapper on linux can get the job done without the need for this junk. I've used it for this exact purpose before.

Baaack in my day we got a driver for our mouse on a single DD floppy...
It wasn't too long ago that a USB mouse would store the divers on the mouse.
That was actually never the case. The default USB mouse driver comes with the OS. And also today any modern mouse will work just fine with the default USB mouse driver in the OS.
What this abomination is is a kind of extended driver that allows the user to e.g. remap buttons on the mouse or control RGB lights. You know, anything but the actual basic functionality of the mouse.
You're thinking of the Titan submersible accident, I think. But they ended up stored on a Logitech controller, not a mouse.
Narrator: It wasn't a driver.
Madness
X mouse button control
It can't detect some of the fancier buttons and gestures but it can often pickup buttons 4 and 5 for remapping, and it does chording and long press options to give you multiple functions without any AI bullshit.
The driver itself is probably a few megabytes only. The rest is just bullshit in the name of rgb control and preset/dpi control. You seem to be using a Logitech device, you can enable the onboard memory of your mouse, then uninstall this thing and use Logitech's Onboard Memory Manager app instead.

I have a Logitech mouse. I just used a 3rd party app to remap.
Better mouse for Mac, but looks like you’re on Linux? There’s bound to be something

I love this program by the way!!!
Anyone have other brand suggestions?
No, unfortunately. Logitech mice are the best performing in quality, battery life, and longevity at their price range. I've tried many other mice in the budget range, and they all fail quickly, eat batteries, or perform poorly in comparison.
I bought a couple Logitech mice a few years ago and I gotta say, they weren't the best. The material they are made out of melts slowly over time. I use these mice and get sticky shit on my fingers. It's not food or anything I'm doing. I've scrubbed them with rubbing alcohol and no matter what a little bit of sticky stuff is always coming off. So the finish on them isn't great, at best. Never had other mice do this.

I've been using a Redragon M690 Pro as my home daily driver, and I retired my Razer Basilisk x Hyperspeed to my office, although the latter started having issues with middle clicking. The 690 is nice so far though. I don't play any twitch shooters, more of a slow burn style, so ymmv.
