Always hated Logitech Options bloatware, why should the software drain my battery, phone home, and require screen recording permission just to emulate a keystroke when I push a button on the mouse?

I enjoyed my trip to Micro Center today to finally ditch Logitech after those buttons stopped working. Put up with Options for over a decade because at least it did the one thing I needed.

I love the hardware. Software sucks. When this broke today, I just downloaded SteerMouse and updated my license. Never going back to the Logitech software.
In my frustration I didn’t even think to look if there was a third party solution.

Looks like that would do the one thing I need, and I’m finding the grass to be just as brown with Razer Synapse is it is with LogiOptions.

Just install something like "Better touch tool" you'll get the functionality (and more) without the bloat.
To be fair, it lack some functionality, like mapping a single modifier to a button
