only two buttons on the side works as Mouse Button 4 and Mouse Button 5, but mouse have 10 buttons.. When you include "windows.h" in c++, you get access to the function "GetAsyncKeyState". Loop like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
2
3
4
5
6
7
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
if (GetAsyncKeyState(i))
{
std::cout<<"Key: "<<i<<std::endl;
}
}
to find out what "Keys" are sent when pressing the mouses extra buttons.
After you've done that you can just check if they have been triggered in something like a background service. From here you can simulate other key strokes then.
Edit: Functions you need:
keybd_event - To simulate key strokes
GetAsyncKeyState - To Check if a key was pressed.
edit²:
Actually does GetAsyncKeyState only receives if the key is currently pressed. You have to detect if the key goes up again.

I just search and downloaded drivers for Vista, and it works as it was in Win XP
Drivers X-755FS (Vista, Works on 7)
I wrote down here because a lot of people have this issue with this mouse so they can find this in google, maybe.
