ok so I have a mouse with a button 10, not really a 10 button mouse, but that's how linux sees the button. I checked with "xev" then I installed "xbindkeys" and created a file called...$HOME/.xbindkeysrc next I added this code in the file (per directioins of xbindkeys)...
"'mouseclick 1'"
b:10
than ran xbindkeys....didn't work.
Does anybody know of mouse button mapping tool that actually work within Mint 18.Mate?????
How do people set up a mouse with more than 3 buttons????

Re: mouse button mapping
[SOLVED] what a pain in the a#@ to find that,,,
So I ran the command...
xinput
this gave a list of the input device, below is the one I wanted ...
UC-LOGIC Tablet WP1209U id=11
so than I ran...
xinput get-button-map
that gave a list of the buttons for that input device...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
I wanted to change button 10 to act like a left mouse click which is button one so I changed 10 to 1 by running this...
xinput set-button-map 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 11 12 13 14
button 10 is now button 1
hope this help others, cause it took me hours to find this.

Re: mouse button mapping
I am so glad you posted this...
I was going nuts looking for a solution to almost exactly the same problem!
I got nowhere with xbindkeys but this did the trick!
Thanks.
