The limitation on core pointer buttons comes from the event definition in the
core X11 protocol:
SETofKEYBUTMASK
#x0001 Shift
#x0002 Lock
#x0004 Control
#x0008 Mod1
#x0010 Mod2
#x0020 Mod3
#x0040 Mod4
#x0080 Mod5
#x0100 Button1
#x0200 Button2
#x0400 Button3
#x0800 Button4
#x1000 Button5
#xE000 unused but must be zero
I believe input extension devices do not suffer from this limit, but haven't
verified it.
