Remap mouse side buttons?

I have a third-party gaming mouse that I use on my Mac. It has two buttons on the side, but they are useless other than going forward and backward in web-browsing. Does anybody know of a program I can use to remap these? The software for the mouse itself is only supported with Windows.

gamepad controller mapped to Launchpad Since I have upgraded to Mac OS Ventura, I see that one of the Menu buttons on my HORI Gamepad is already mapped to a function in the Mac OS. When I press this button, it automatically switches focus to the Launchpad app and shows my 'Games' installed on my Mac. I have not found a way of disabling this mapping in Mac OS in the System Settings/Game Controllers/ Anyone else have this issue?

Or is it impossible to remap them without a software made by mouse company?
