Yes

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?

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...
