- No wonder it's hard to find good programs - it's no longer necessary! At some point this became a built in [part of Xorg via xinput](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libinput#Via_xinput_on_Xorg).
- The process is something like this:
- * `xinput list` and find the ID of your mouse
- * `xinput get-button-map $MOUSE_ID` and see the current map
- * `xev -event button | grep button` to check which button is which
- * `xinput set-button-map $MOUSE_ID $NEW_BUTTON_MAP` to remap
- To make it permanent you can create Xorg config files (described in the link).
