It's a fucking USB HID mouse? OS agnostic. In an ideal world, the buttons should just be really big number scancodes that aren't mapped to anything. You can then do something like this (says sway but runs on basically everything X and Wayland). Research before buying a mouse. Actually, no, just buy it from a local store, and if the buttons aren't functioning as buttons without OEM bullshit, return as defective.
