My custom mouse shortcuts reset after each restart or shutdown. I assign Mouse Button 5 to Mission Control and Mouse Button 4 to Application Windows.
I’ve tested various Bluetooth mice and don’t use any mouse software—such as Logitech Options or LinearMouse.
This issue appears to be specific to macOS 15.1, as I haven’t encountered it in the past 2 years of using macOS.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1
Solution found
First, 100% confirmed it is a macOS Sequoia bug. After countless hours of self-work, I got the solution thanks to the work of the user r/TheGreyAsteroid on Reddit. For advanced users, you can go with Terminal. For typical users, be aware that some folders are hidden to prevent you to fix things that Apple do not fix. Press Command+Shift+Dot to reveal hidden folders. After reboot, they will be hidden again.
The bug is the macOS core seems to save the shortcut preferences directly into the step 4 folder, but it should be saved in step 2 and 4 folders at the same time.
Inspired in this thread from Reddit.

The same issues with my mac on macos 15.
Same issue here, using a Razer Viper V3 Pro.
As this thread indicates, it doesn't matter what mouse you have it's an OS bug.
Running 15.2 & MBP M4 Max
The same issue on my M4 mini 15.2, at the same time for my macbook air M1 15.2 it works ok. Seems like the issue applicable only for minis not for laptops.
Thank you so much! This worked on my end. I do appreciate your attitude and how your perseverance and patience solved the problem. I wish your post received more recognition than it did. Bravo!
This TOTALLY WORKED! Thank you!!
Facing the similar issue with M2 after updating sequoia 15.3
Brilliant! Thank you!
This just 100% worked for me.
Took me a couple of trys to figure out where to go (not sure why), but it's finally done.
Also only happening in my M3 Pro MacBook with Sequoia 15.3.2 , not in my M1 Pro from work which also has Sequoia 15.3.2.
Thank you so much for sharing this solution, this has been driving me crazy for months!
That worked on my Sequoia 15.1 M4 Pro with M720 Triathlon mouse. Thanks a lot!
MacOS mouse shortcuts are reset upon restart or shutdown
