Funny how the manufacturer does such a bad job there is money to be made in shipping an actually functioning driver...

Elecom doesn't even try with their firmware. They send an identical HID descriptor regardless of what the device actually supports (x +y scrollwheel, 5 other buttons). Here's the linux workaround:

If you use a recent Elecom device and an LTS linux kernel you need to patch your kernel just to get the buttons working right!
