is it compatible with debian?

The mouse it self works great and at some point the buttons kinda worked but then just stopped again. and only the 2 side buttons. I am not sure if my xbindkeys is working correctly. or if I set it up correctly.

This might help.

If I want to map the keys I have to restart my pc.

The keys apparently are B:8 for backwards and B:9 for forwards
