Remapping shortcut keys to mouse buttons
Normally you would use the Logitech mouse application to assign commands to your mouse. It either came with this application or you can download it from the Logitech website.

The challenge with "extra button" mice and keyboards is that those key inputs are generally only recognized by the device's driver, before being forwarded as a keystroke/click/event that the OS can recognize.
While a lot of applications support Mouse Button 1-3, and often 4/5, anything beyond that is not part of any interface standard; similar limitations exist with keyboards that have macro keys, too.
The workaround for this is generally to map those buttons to a function the OS can recognize, such as an existing key or button. An example of this would be binding "Mouse Button 26" to "s" so that both S on the keyboard and MB26 trigger the search box. If you were to unbind S from Search, MB26 would stop working, too, since you're now just mimicking an unbound hotkey.
Logitech Options software supports creating a custom profile for any executable, so you should be able to set up a highly customized set of mouse-based shortcuts, without impacting any non-Fusion workflows.
