Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1749

What happened?

In the hotkey assignment window("Configure Server..." button > "Hotkeys" tab > "New" or "Edit" buttons), all of the buttons on my mouse except for the left, right, and middle(buttons 1, 3, and 2 respectively according to xinput) are read as various other keys*. Going through with the hotkey assignment and trying to use the given mouse button results in failure to trigger the hotkey. Using the key actually displayed in the hotkey dialog does trigger the hotkey.

The mouse hardware I'm using is a Logitech G502 Hero. I have it configured with a utility called Piper(https://github.com/libratbag/piper), a frontend for ratbagd(https://github.com/libratbag).
