I bought one of these mice yesterday, it's comfortable, but exhibiting strange behaviour. It has two thumb buttons, like the mouse I had before, but they're not mapped to button presses, but to keyboard events.
When I press them, I get this:

It seems the first two (Super_L and d) are from the "back" thumb
button, and the last Super_L is the "forwards" button.
Can I remap these, and how do I differentiate between them, since both
send Super_L?
I'm thinking of taking it back and demanding one that works with
something other than Windows, but the store is far from where I live,
and it would be a huge hassle. It was also the only one they had with
the right size, number of buttons and which was wireless, so there
wasn't much to choose from.
