Do you know how can i add debouncing ? Is there any patch for the
kernel and/or X ?

Thank you for pointing out evtest. It didn't even cross my mind.
It didn't show any event for these two buttons but lead me to
think that they have some hid code unknown to the kernel. Indeed
hid debug showed
drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report 3 (size 3) =  03 20 00
drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report 3 (size 3) =  03 21 00
so the hid codes should be 0x2003 and 0x2103
Zoom In/Out are 0x1a2/a3 so > 255 therefore i'll map them to
some unused keys < 255 for now.

Thank you again.
