I used Chris Titus' winutil. There's a lot to it, but it's pretty easy to find videos that explain what all of the options are
Erm, it looks to me that there is a project to make them work on Linux: https://openrazer.github.io/.
Also... TBH if a mouse doesn't work on Linux that kind of makes it a bad mouse, IMO. I would just get a different mouse if it was an actual issue. It's not like it's a mechanical keyboard or something.

It only covers the absolute basics. Not even button rebinding.

I mean, even ignoring that, its pretty bad. Doesn't even have on-board memory. Unfortunately, its what I'm stuck with, given that I can't afford a new one.
The problem with Windows 'debloat' scripts is that they monkey with esoteric gedit policies and registry tweaks.
Any Windows update, even security ones, can break the tweaks, cause bugs, or even instability. And naturally the users have no idea which of the tweaks is causing the problem. Especially when its been months since you used the scripts.
Now "deep customization" can break Linux too. The difference is that Linux developers are not going break your tweaks on purpose. For example, Windows recently closed some of the workarounds to install Windows on a local account.
Microsoft decides what users can do with Windows. Company officials have admitted that they're already coding the OS with AI, and that future Windows versions are going to be AI powered. The Recall behavior of taking screenshots to be analyzed by AI to catalogue everything you do isn't being developed as a Windows feature, but a core functionality of the OS.
What kind of mouse are you using anyway?

Razer Naga X. I spent all day yesterday trying to get it working in Mint, but had no luck. Nothing supports button rebinding, nonetheless DPI changes with button remapping.
Edit: made it slightly more clear
This is the one I use on my work PC: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat
Mostly what it does is change things back to how they were on older Windows versions. E.g. the start menu is aligned to the left corner instead of the center. It is great at removing unnecessary bloat apps like Xbox Game Bar, and disabling various telemetry and ads such as the spam Bing search in the start menu.
I also found that PC had an annoying driver suite (resource hog) called something like "AMD Adrenaline Edition" that the debloat script missed. I had to uninstall the factory graphics driver and reinstall the "minimal, driver only" version from AMD.
Use at your own risk of course. Microsoft often breaks these things with Windows updates
Yeah that's the one we use in IT
Consider the IoT Enterprise LTSC builds. These come premade from Microsoft with less bloat (or none, in the case of the Win10 IoT version), and don't shove the consumer features down your throat on every update because they're designed for mission critical embedded applications.
I have 10 IoT LTSC running on most of our machines at work because a significant chunk of our hardware is not Windows 11 "ready" and we use many vendor-specific things that don't work in Linux or Wine, and I use 11 IoT LTSC at home (locked to 23H2 so my Mixed Reality VR headset remains working!) without incident.
Without either of the above restrictions if I were you I would shop for a new mouse.
Install Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It comes with much less bloatware and no AI support.
Is an online script builder you can use to do all manner of things. The first time I used it I went hog wild picking all sorts of things, and made my matching practically unusable. So be careful and stick to their recommendations unless you know exactly what you want to kill.
While not what you asked,
I have the same mouse model and use it with EndeavourOS and play WoW. I had the same issue with binding.....In the end I just created a win 10 VM through VirtualBox, passed through the Naga to the VM, installed the Razor software in the VM and did the button binding there. Saved the profile to the mouse. disconnected the USB passthough and the binds all worked in Linux. Note I had to once off disconnect and reconnect the usb cable for the changes to take effect in Linux. Also had to plug in a temp mouse so that I could control everything while the usb passthrough to the VM.
So yeah not what you wanted but there an easy way to get the binding to work...
Are you sure its the same as the Naga X, because I'm 99% sure the Naga X doesn't have on-board memory? The earlier and more expensive ones do, but the X is the cheapo option.
Your mouse is likely supported if you search. https://pwr-solaar.github.io/Solaar/
My mouse isn't Logitech, its Razor. The Naga X.
https://openrazer.github.io/#devices
Naga X is among the supported devices. You just searched for Razor instead of Razer, most likely.
Edit: I've read your other comment. Linux Mint may not have the latest kernel that supports your mouse properly. I'd suggest a rolling release distro like Fedora, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or... Arch (via Arch Installer or EndeavourOS to make your life easier) instead.
OpenRazer unfortunately doesn't support rebinding buttons.
Not yet anyway!
Time to ditch that mouse. Don't let it be your excuse for staying a hostage.
Ods are that a similar to is available. Just gotta search for it.
Unfortunately not. Theres some tools for the RGB, or one-off tweaks like changing DPI and polling rate in the UI, but nothing that offers button rebinding, nonetheless profile control.
Then it's time to participate in the community. Find a project that does something similar. Get the hardware ID's and configuration and submit it to the project as an added request. Stick a twenty dollar bounty on it. How much is your time worth and how much are you wasting trying to solve a problem that will continue to be more invasive? Windows isn't free, it costs your time to fix a corporate decision.
If we would stick a few bucks in the coffer from time to time supporting our community through cash and submitting info and time helping it won't take long before more things work even better. And we will no longer have to accept the wishes of the corporate masters. Microsoft and apple (account many others) are the IBM of the current generation and have been for a while. Look at the price of a computer before they created compatability in 3rd party computers. Microsoft isn't losing money on home users either because they hover up all the information. Even installing software that breaks their access gives them info, that's how they know how far to push it.
There's also FLYOOBE, which will let you do stuff like uninstall a bunch of the apps that are installed by default, disable AI shit, and set some of your basic interface settings all in one relatively convenient application.
