Sounds like you already know more about this stuff than I do :)

Just an idle observation:  I have a four-button trackball mouse that
xorg announces as having 9 buttons.  According to xev, the buttons are
1:  Left click
3:  Right click
2:  buttons 1 and 3 pressed at the same time
8:  Left tiny-button click
9:  Right tiny-button click

That's all. Buttons 4-7 don't exist.  Someone in this mailing list
explained this numbering system to me a long time ago.  Shame I can't
remember it now :(

Anyway, my point is that button numbering schemes can be sneaky, and you
may learn something interesting if you run xev and click the buttons in
random ways, maybe including double-tapping the touchpad, etc.
