    Mouse buttons 4 and 5 no longer working

    Just recently my mouse buttons 4 and 5 quit working. It is a Corsair m65 mouse. I have looked in there software and it is set as back and forward for webpages. I have tried it on other devices and it works correctly without any software. Its win10 on a
    PC I built myself. Worked a week ago. Any suggestions? I have tried all the normal things like uninstall/reinstall, tried updating drivers, and the like. It isn't recognized in games either because windows isn't seeing it.

    Mouse Button 4 Registers as Mouse Button 5

    The mouse button 5 still registers as mouse button 5 even though mouse button 4 registers as mouse button 5

    Mouse Buttons 4 & 5 not working in Windows 11

    Mouse Button 4 Registers as Mouse Button 5

    Does your mouse have a mouse button 5? And if so is that button registering as mouse button 4?
