Tilt scroll wheel not recognized as separate button

[kshksh]

I have a new mouse - Razer Mamba Tournament Edition. It has a scroll wheel that, in addition to scrolling up/down and pressing, can be tilted sideways both ways. However, this doesn't seem to be recognized by the system as separate button, but as "faster" scrolling.

Running

Code: Select all

xev -event button

produces following results:
When tilted left:

Code: Select all

ButtonPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x6c5, subw 0x5000002, time 1253114, (41,46), root:(69,102),
    state 0x10, button 5, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x6c5, subw 0x5000002, time 1253114, (41,46), root:(69,102),
    state 0x1010, button 5, same_screen YES

When tilted right:

Code: Select all

ButtonPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x6c5, subw 0x5000002, time 1273514, (29,47), root:(57,103),
    state 0x10, button 4, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x6c5, subw 0x5000002, time 1273514, (29,47), root:(57,103),
    state 0x810, button 4, same_screen YES

This exact same message (with different time and coordinates, of course, but everything else being identical) shows up when I scroll down and up, respectively, using the wheel. The difference is that when tilting the wheel, the messages appear in rapid succession (alternating between press and release events); no matter for how short time I tilt, there's always at least 4 press and 4 release events.

None of these seems like it would help recognize tilting wheel as separate buttons.

The fact that xev sees the tilt wheel as the same buttons makes everything I found about remapping in Linux useless, as it all assumed that the numbers should be different.

I'm running Linux Mint 21.1 64-bit.

Is there a way to make these extra buttons actually recognized as separate, so that I can use them?

Welcome to the forum, kshksh.

Did you add any special software to have your mouse recognized? I did find there is OpenRazer, but I don't know if that would help this situation.

If you want to try it, I suggest taking a Timeshift snapshot first.
